Fully Powered Drum Pourer with Powered Clamp
Product Code: STE05 / STP05-RRH01-Ex
Our fully powered drum tipper with power clamp is popular with companies that want to increase efficiency and eliminate manual handling risks. We can supply the unit with two powered options: electric hydraulic which utilizes on-board batteries, or a pneumatic-hydraulic model which can be certified for ATEX areas. A power clamp head assembly with flexible bands is fitted to the unit which can handle drums and barrels from 13-58 gallons (50 to 220 liters).
Electric
Suitable for safe areas, this fully-powered drum tipper comprises an onboard battery bank along with two separate electric motors. When the unit is not in use, simply connect the mains power to the charger to ensure the unit remains in a fully-charged state at all times.
Pneumatic
Our pneumatic units can be certified for use in ATEX and UKEX areas. Operators connect an airline to power a pneumatic-hydraulic circuit which powers the lift, clamp, rotation and drive of the unit. Precise drive control during manoeuvring can be achieved through control hoses located inside the steering tiller.
Power Drive
The power drive system on this unit is powered via the rear of the unit using a steerable tiller. The speed of the drive is adjusted using throttles and an anti-trap switch ensures the operator is kept safe during use. The rear panel features a pressure gauge and an emergency stop button for operators to cut off the unit's power if required.

Powered drum clamp and forward rotation
Unlike a banded drum tipping model, this unit has a greater level of powered functionality. Operators wheel the unit towards a drum (located on the floor or the corner of a pallet), clamp the pads around the drum and then lift and tip the contents into a process vessel or secondary container. Powered functions reduce the need for manual interaction with the drum, this is beneficial in saving time and thus improves overall manufacturing cycle times.
Clamping pad designs
This model can be tailored to suit your process and how you need to handle your drums. Our unique flexible rubber clamping pads are designed to be used with a variety of drum types and sizes 11”-24” (280mm to 610mm) in diameter. The clamping pads can also be configured to allow 55 gallon (205-liter) drums to be removed from the corner of a pallet if this is a requirement.
ATEX / UKEX-certified for gas and dust zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 (optional)
As experts in the field, we have assisted a variety of manufacturing sectors with their hazardous drum-handling processes. Our power-drive pneumatic-hydraulic drum rotators can be supplied ATEX and UKEX compliant, suitable for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 environments.
Equipment is designed to ensure electrical continuity and that there is always a path to ground. All of our ATEX / UKEX drum handling equipment are supplied with a Declaration of Conformity which states compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
Designed to be as versatile as possible, this power-clamp model can handle a wide range of drum types and sizes. The clamping pads can be provided for handling drums and barrels with a diameter range of between 11” (280mm) and 24.” (610mm). The system has been designed to handle drums of up to 39.37” (1000mm) in height; this covers the majority of drum types used in the market.
