Product overview ATEX and UKEX drum tipper manufactured in stainless steel for food and pharmaceutical factories and other clean areas. The model is pneumatic powered: an airline connection powers the lift function. Suitable for hazardous zoned environments including zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.
Key product features- Air-powered functions: pneumatic-hydraulic pump driven by an airline connection supplies oil to the hydraulic lifting system; low-maintenance arrangement suitable for zoned ATEX/UKEX areas; optional air-hydraulic actuation available for powered clamp, rotation and drive to improve throughput.
- Universal drum band (DRU01): segmented modular band adapts to steel, plastic and fibre drums; adjustable diameter by removing two pins; standard range 50–220 litres. Fixed-diameter band (FB) option available for 200–220 litre drums.
- Stainless-steel construction: 304-grade stainless steel lifting chassis and housings; stainless-steel precision bearings and sealed components; lift ram and rotational gearbox located within stainless housings; mechanically polished or aqua-blasted finish suitable for GMP/clean manufacturing.
- Self-locking gearbox: manual rotation models use a worm-wheel self-locking gearbox (primary and secondary worm-wheel plus 90° bevel stage) with 120:1 ratio to prevent unintended rotation; folding handle for transport; hydraulic powered rotation option for high-volume pouring.
- Controllable rear-wheel steering: tiller-controlled rear castors move together for a tight turning radius and manoeuvrability in confined spaces; anti-static polyurethane tyres with precision bearings reduce rolling resistance.
- Drum suitability and securing: adjustable band handles drums 50–220 L (diameter 350–610 mm); drums under 350 mm diameter can be handled with a small-drum insert (INS01 option); MAUSER drum compatibility noted; rim clamp included to prevent slippage.
