Remcon has built various styles of custom dumper units to dump tote bins or bulk boxes onto conveyors for feeding onto a sort line and similar applications.
Dumpers can be designed to be actuated via hydraulics, pneumatics, a chain-driven motor/reducer, or manually actuated via forklift or trip arm.
Special Features & Specifications
Features
- Fully enclosed housing contains material as it is dumped onto another conveyor or receiving point.
- Hinged or easily removable guards for areas that need to be accessed for maintenance.
- Fully adjustable range and speed of rotation.
- Sensors mounted on the dumper control the starting and stopping of tote infeed/outfeed conveyors, and the forward and reverse rotation of the dumper, via a fully programmed PLC with touchscreen controls.
Specifications
- Drive method — multiple drive methods available.
- For the chain-driven design, the tote bin holder frame has round end rings on both ends, which ride on heavy-duty casters mounted to the frame of the dumper. The chain drive allows the bin to be tipped a full 180 degrees, and then return to the starting position.
- Dumping rate — fully adjustable via variable-speed motor drive with braking resistor, which will slow or stop the dumper motor several times per dumping cycle, with pauses in between. The length of the pauses and the acceleration time for each start can be changed as needed.
- Casters — 8" diameter x 3" wide "Brute" steel casters.
- Chain — #80 (1" pitch) roller chain.
- Frame — structural 5" square tube steel frame, with 1/4" plate steel panels anywhere glass will come into contact, and 10 ga. steel elsewhere.
- Gear motor — Dodge Tigear II gearmotor, meets American Gear Manufacturers Association Class 2 rating, with 3 HP motor.
- Rain covers — 14 ga. galvanized steel.
