New Single Pillar Tote Bin Tipper provides cost-effective, efficient handling for food and pharmaceutical lifting and discharge applications

Base Handling Products Limited has launched a new design of their Single Pillar Tote Bin Tipper that improves the previous model that has been in successful continuous production for 20 years with hundreds of machines still in daily operation. The Tote Bin Tipper is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries where it lifts and discharges into various production processes, including grinders, mixers, blenders or other hoppers and chutes.

Developed and manufactured by Base Handling Products in the U.K, the new model offers key advantages including a simplified control panel, easier to clean construction and a unique fail safe safety latch. The current machine takes advantage of newer production and design techniques which allows pricing to compete more favourably with imported equipment, which is sometimes of a lesser specification.

The machine is a single pillar 200 Litre tote bin tipper that is designed to lift and tip at a discharge height of up to 2300mm. The required height can be specified at time of ordering. The Tipper is a hygienic construction from Grade 304 stainless steel, is fully TIG welded throughout and operates on a 'dead mans handle' principle. Lifting with the machine is achieved by a ¾” Simplex chain driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the main column. The Tipper is designed to be bolted to the floor or it can be mobile on castors. The unguarded machine is fitted with a unique safety latch which engages automatically in the extremely unlikely event of a lift chain failure.

One of the first customers for the new Tipper is Mash Direct Limited of County Down, who are one of Ireland’s leading producers of quick-serve mashed potato, vegetable and cabbage product.

Martin Hamilton, Managing Director of Mash Direct said; “We now have four of the Base Bin Tippers and they are proving excellent in operation. They replaced a time consuming and laborious manual operation and are handling a very high tonnage with mixed volumes and weights, without problem.”

The Tote Bin Tipper is designed to handle a standard 200 Litre tote bin that is available from Base Handling Products in food and pharmaceutical grade stainless steel or a plastic version of the bin available in a wide range of colours.
