Dumpers, Tilters, and Inverters Specifications

Help with Dumpers, Tilters, and Inverters specifications:

Equipment Type

	Your choices are...
	Dumper / Tilter		Dumpers, tilters are used to reposition or empty material handling containers.  Dumpers and tilters empty containers (boxes, drums, bins, etc.) by tilting them to allow materials to pour out below.  Dumpers, tilters are used extensively in waste management and recycling applications, as well as food processing, trucking and transportation, and manufacturing and production lines.  These units are designed to improve product handling, efficiency, and reduce cost and time in storage, retrieval and product positioning with maximum flexibility, while reducing damage to products and minimizing worker-related injuries.
	Inverter / Upender		Inverters are used to reposition or empty material handling containers.  Inverters empty containers (boxes, drums, bins, etc.) by tilting them to allow materials to pour out below. Inverters (upenders) take a container and rotate it 180 degrees in order to reorient contents.  Inverters are used extensively in waste management and recycling applications, as well as food processing, trucking and transportation, and manufacturing and production lines.  These units are designed to improve product handling, efficiency, and reduce cost and time in storage, retrieval and product positioning with maximum flexibility, while reducing damage to products and minimizing worker-related injuries.

Bulk Container Type

	Your choices are...
	Bag		Bulk materials are stored in bags. Common styles for bags include open top (circular and u-panel), duffle top, fill spout, and discharge spout. To prevent segregation, provisions are made to distribute bulk materials evenly during the loading / unloading process.
	Bin		Bulk materials are stored in bins. Bins are made from a variety of materials and available as stand-alone containers or integrated into material handling systems. They may include features such as an industrial vibrator or bin activator to aid in the flow of bulk materials.
	Box		Bulk materials are stored in boxes, cube-shaped containers with a chute. Boxes may be reinforced for heavy loads and often provide 2-way or 4-way entry for fork trucks or pallet jacks. To prevent segregation, provisions are made to distribute the bulk materials evenly during the loading / unloading process.
	Cart		Bulk materials are stored in carts. Carts are often rounded or rectangular and include wheels. To prevent segregation, provisions are made to distribute the bulk materials evenly during the loading / unloading process.
	Drum / Barrel		Bulk materials are stored in drums or barrels. Drums are manufactured in many different sizes and may be sealed or open to the environment. To prevent segregation, provisions are made to distribute the bulk materials evenly during the loading / unloading process.
	Hopper		Bulk materials are stored in hoppers, storage containers that allow bulk materials to be dumped easily. Hoppers are made from aluminum or steel for heavy-duty and from plastic for light-duty applications. To prevent segregation, provisions are made to distribute the bulk materials evenly during the loading / unloading process.
	Railcar		Railcars are used to store and transport bulk materials.
	Silo		Bulk materials are stored in silos, containers that typically feature a vertical design and may be bolted or welded together.  Silos often include features such as low or high level indicators, bin activators, or unloading systems for removing materials.
	Truck		Trucks are used to store and transport bulk materials. To prevent segregation, provisions are made to distribute the bulk materials evenly during the loading / unloading process.
	Other		Other proprietary, specialized, or unlisted bulk container types.

Specifications

	Weight Capacity		This is the weight capacity for which the equipment is rated.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Tilt Angle / Rotation		This is the angle at which devices dump materials.  For inverters, this angle is typically 180°.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Dump Height		This is the height from which the dumper can dispense the material.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Common Features

	Your choices are...
	Aerator / Fluidizer		Air injectors or bin fluidizers shoot compressed air into a bin to break up bridges or arches in a bulk material. The breaking of arches allows the material to flow by gravity. Air injectors blast a jet of air into the bin. Bin fluidizers inject air along an internal area of the bin to fluidize a portion of bulk material along the wall. These devices also help reduce flow restrictions from adhesion, rat holing, compacting or clogging.
	Blending Capability		Blender feeders are capable of metering two or more different powdered components at a desired ratio or percentage.
	Control Panel		Devices include adjustment controls that are more than just a simple regulator knob.
	Integral Hopper / Bin		Devices have an integrated hopper or bin.
	Portable / Mobile		Portable units are mounted on wheels for movement by a person or vehicle. Some units are light enough for an operator to pick up and carry to a work location.
	Vibrator / Impactor / Agitator		Impactors/rappers, bin activators, shakers, vibrators, vibrating bottoms or other mechanical activators break arches or bridges in bins or hoppers and to faciliate gravity flow. These devices also help reduce flow restrictions from adhesion, rat holing, compacting or clogging. Impactors provide automation with a sledgehammer-type action. Shakers rock or tilt the whole bin. Vibrators impart vibrations into the bin using an unbalanced motor or an electromechanical vibrator. Some bin activators consist of a vibrated cone, which is placed beneath the bin to be discharged.
