TIP-TITE high-lift drum dumper

Drums loaded into the TIP-TITE high-lift drum dumper at floor level are sealed against a discharge cone, elevated, and tipped, then the cone is mated to a receiving ring on downstream process equipment. A pneumatically actuated slide-gate valve prevents material flow until the discharge cone has been properly seated in the gasketted receiving ring. The all-stainless unit can be finished to sanitary or industrial standards, whereas other models are offered in mild steel with durable industrial coatings, or with material-contact surfaces of stainless steel. The TIP-TITE accommodates drums from 30 to 55 gal (114 to 208 L) and can discharge bulk material into process vessels and equipment inlets 5 to 10 ft (1,525 to 3,050 mm) above the plant floor.
