Single Pillar High Speed Tipper

Single Pillar High Speed Tipper Description

This single pillar high speed tipper is designed to lift and tip an integral skip to discharge at a height of 4560mm. The high speed tipper is constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel and is fully TIG welded throughout. The lifting is achieved by a food quality toothed timing belt driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the main column. The high speed tipper is designed to be bolted to the floor. This high speed tipper has a tipping hopper allowing 75 Litres of product to be tipped at a time. Because of the low weight that is being tipped the machine can be set to run at 12.0 Meters/Minute. At this speed, the total time required for tipping the product per cycle is + 60 seconds. If you allow 20 seconds for filling, the total cycle time is 80 seconds allowing 45 tips per hour.

Safety Guard to PD 5304:2005 Safety of Machinery

The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 20mm diameter stainless steel tubing to meet the requirements of PD 5304:2005 Safety of Machinery. It would enclose the high speed tipper to a height of 2200mm on three sides with a hinged door on the fourth side. The guard door is electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the high speed tipper from operating with the door open. In addition, the guard door can only be opened when the lifting carriage is at the full down position. The high speed tipper control system has provision for a ‘Call for Product’ signal to be connected.

High Speed Tipper Application Story

This single pillar high speed tipper was designed to give a continuous throughput of a snack product up to a multi head weighing system on a packing line. There is an intermediate rocking hopper mounted at the bottom of the high speed tipper which acts as a pouring chute into the integral skip. Once the integral skip is full, a high level sensor is activated and the intermediate rocking hopper tips backwards and begins to fill. Once the intermediate rocking hopper has tipped backwards, the high speed tipper lifts and tips very quickly and returns to the full down position before the intermediate rocking hopper is full. Having returned to the full down position, the intermediate rocking hopper tips forward and once again discharges directly into the integral skip. This allows a continuous throughput of product through the high speed tipper and results in a system that is easily cleaned compared to bucker elevators and flighted conveyors and also takes up much less floor space in the factory.
