Overview
This INOX manual-hydraulic drum rotator provides ergonomic lifting and controlled decanting of drums across a wide size range. Constructed in stainless steel 304 with a vibratory-polished hygienic finish, it is suited to food, pharmaceutical and general industrial environments.

Key features

• Manual pump: two manual-hydraulic hand pumps on the rear handle for lift with a controllable lowering valve for descent; designed to comply with manual handling guidance.
• Universal drum band: segmented adjustable band with 50 mm stainless-steel ratchet and polyester strap; adjustable for diameters from 350 mm to 600 mm.
• Adjustable rim clamp: quick-fit rim clamp secures the drum top edge to prevent slippage (particularly effective on plastic drums); adjustable via securing pin.
• Robust gearbox: worm-wheel self-locking gearbox with 120:1 ratio and manual handle; locks when handle released to retain rotation position.
• Drum compatibility: handles steel, plastic and fibre drums from 50–220 litres, including MAUSER drums.
• ATEX available: models can be supplied ATEX/UKEX certified for zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 with anti-static wheels, guarding, earthing chains and documentation.
• Construction and finish: stainless steel 304-grade chassis; nickel/chrome-coated hydraulic lift ram; aluminium hand pump assembly shrouded in stainless steel; vibratory-polished finish for hygienic surfaces.
• Wheels: two fixed 160 mm front wheels and two tiller-steered 160 mm rear wheels (nylon-centred with polyurethane tyres and precision bearings).
• Low maintenance, long life: designed for durability with an expected 20+ year service life under normal use.

Use cases / Benefits

• Ergonomic lifting and decanting of drums in food, pharmaceutical and general industrial processes.
• Secure clamping for a broad range of drum types and sizes to reduce slip and spillage risk.
• Optional upgrades such as integrated weighing systems, fixed-diameter bands, small-drum inserts and ATEX certification to match process requirements.
