The industrial sector needs a lot of equipment to keep on going with their daily operations. However, did you know that they also need equipment to handle their prime industrial equipment? Here, we are talking about drum dumper and tipper that all industrial workers and manufacturers should invest in for their operations. This equipment help in the following operations:
- filling hoppers
- Filling reactors and other industrial vessels
- dispensing applicators
- discharging minute granules or powder
However, the dumper or tipper comes in various types and different unit sizes and one should select one accordingly. Some operations require more angled dumpers while some require a heavier unit. It all depends on the material you want to empty during the procedure of manufacturing or production.
How do drum dumpers and tippers work?
Drum dumpers are used to fully empty industrial equipment. In an industry, drums are used to fill powders and pellets. To empty the drum, it is lifted then angled towards a certain container or processing equipment. Sometimes, the process is done with cones or chutes as the chutes allow to open a direct open discharge and then combined with a valve, create a safe and closed transfer that controls dust. If dumpers are not used, the product i.e. the powder, granules, pellets or tablets can get in touch with the air and pollute the environment.
Tippers, on the other hand, are used for liquid products. They also have the capability to scope in the drum and allow more material to pass. For such situations, stainless steel tippers are considered the best. Their angle can also be adjusted to scoop in deeper. Tippers are also used for other necessary requirements such as filling reactors used for production, dispensing application and charging coaters. Another advantage these equipment have is that they can be adjusted according to the needs.
What are the benefits of drum dumpers?
Drum dumpers provide various benefits to industrial owners and some are listed below:
Safety
Manually dumping the product can be hazardous to health. Thus, the product should be disposed of using the dumper. It also lessens operator lifting that can cause other health issues for the workers. It is said that disposing of the product can cause ergonomic risk factors, which is easily eliminated by using the dumpers. Since they can be angeled, they can be easily positioned over the drums.
Enhances Productivity
Productivity in a factory or workplace is the topmost priority. Since tippers and dumpers allow the easy and open transfer of powders and granules. The capability to tilt enhances the operating capacity and can be adjusted to the optimal product flow. Thus, improving operator efficiency to a great extent. Also, other features such as adjustability of height enhance the possibility of easily discharging the optimum level. It can also be positioned to multiple drums.
Achieve Containment Levels
Since dumpers and tippers can be moved and positioned, the drum liner specifically is used to improve containment. By this, we mean that while the product is discharged using the dumper, conjunction with EHS Ventilation Sleeve can be achieved. It can also be held at a lower height to achieve a lower level of containment i.e. 10 µg/m3.
Well, now you know how necessary dumpers and tippers are for industrialists and why they should invest in a few with high quality. The ones with higher quality allow the adjusting features and add the bonus to ease of operations. Many online stores are also accepting custom orders for their equipment. Make sure that you ensure the quality and features before investing in one as, without a doubt, this is a one time and important investment for your operations.
