Drum tipping station STP01-RRH01-Ex

pneumaticfor the food industrymetal

Overview
This ATEX-certified pneumatic drum lifter is an air-powered, pneumatic‑hydraulic power-clamp drum handling solution designed to lift, clamp, rotate and empty drums and barrels with minimal manual effort. Suitable for steel, plastic and fibreboard drums from 50 to 220 litres, it delivers powered lift/lower, powered clamping and powered rotation to reduce operator interaction and cycle times.

Key features

• Powered drum clamp with forward rotation via a powered gearbox
• Air-powered hydraulic system compliant with ATEX environments
• Hydraulic constant-tension clamping head with pressure gauge for monitored clamp pressure
• Flexible polyester/PVC clamping pads to suit multiple drum types (including MAUSER)
• Rear-wheel Ackermann steering with foot-operated park brakes for precise control and low rolling resistance
• Compatible with steel, plastic and fibre drums; configurable to remove drums from pallet corners
• Optional stainless-steel construction for clean/GMP environments
• Upgradeable: load-cell weighing, telescopic/variable lift heights, pneumatic drive, variable leg dimensions
• Designed for low maintenance and long service life (20+ year lifespan)

Performance / operational notes

• Clamping pad range (drum diameters): 280–610 mm
• Supported drum sizes: 50–220 L (including MAUSER drums)
• Operator input: typically <15 kg due to powered functions
• Air system: typical 6–9 bar; minimum air supply specified for powered functions (min. 400 L/min; optimum 760 L/min at 6 bar with 13 mm air hose)

Applications
Designed for decanting and emptying drums into process vessels or secondary containers in hazardous/ATEX-rated areas where intrinsically safe pneumatic control and ATEX compliance are required. Commonly used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and industrial processes requiring safe, repeatable drum emptying.
