Bulk solids handing specialist Flexicon (Europe) Ltd has launched a new Tip-Tite Drum Dump Feeder. The equipment seals drums against a discharge cone, before tipping the drum and feeding bulk material into downstream equipment, dust-free and at controlled rates.

The drum platform is raised by a single hydraulic cylinder, creating a dust-tight seal between the rim of the drum and the underside of the discharge cone. A second hydraulic cylinder tips the platform-hood assembly and drum, stopping at 90º angles thanks to a motion-dampening feature. Material flowing through the discharge cone then charges the intake adapter of a cantilevered flexible screw conveyor that feeds downstream equipment volumetrically.

Flexicon’s Tip-Tite is available in stationary and mobile versions and is offered with cantilevered flexible screw conveyors in custom lengths – either horizontal or at an incline.

The system accommodates drums from 115 to 210 litres and is made in either carbon steel with durable industrial finishes and material contact surfaces in stainless steel, or entirely in stainless steel.
