Dust tight seal

Flexicon has launched an all-new
TIP-TITE Drum Dump Feeder that
seals drums against a discharge cone,
tips the drum and feeds bulk material
into downstream equipment, dustfree
at controlled rates.

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