Flexicon open-chute box tipper

The open-chute box tipper from Flexicon is designed to offer a safe, low-cost method of discharging bulk solid materials from boxes, totes and other containers when dust containment is not a requirement.

The tipper accommodates boxes from 915 to 1220 mm on a side and 990 to 1117 mm overall height.

The box-container lift assembly is tipped hydraulically until material discharges from the container onto a smooth, flat chute that allows unobstructed discharge of free-flowing materials - as well as non-free-flowing products containing large agglomerates - into receiving vessels.

Twin hydraulic cylinders pivot the platform-chute assembly, with the container secured from sliding by transverse sidewall braces, to discharge angles of 45 or 60° beyond horizontal, including a motion-dampening feature at the termination of container rotation.

The tipper is available with stainless steel material contact surfaces, in carbon steel with durable industrial coatings or in all-stainless construction to industrial and hygienic standards.

It is also available with optional receiving hoppers configured with mechanical or pneumatic conveyors to transport discharged material.
