Flexicon open chute box tipper

An open chute box tipper from Flexicon offers a safe 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 the company’s mechanical or pneumatic conveyors to transport discharged material to any plant location.
