Stainless-Steel Drum Pourer with Powered Drive & Powered Clamp
Product Code: STE05 / STP05-RRH01-SS-Ex
This stainless steel fully-powered drum pourer is suitable for 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 Zoned explosive areas (ATEX and UKEX ). A power clamp head assembly with flexible pads 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 makes use of an onboard battery bank along with two DC electric motors; one for drive and one for clamp/lift/rotation. When the unit is not in use operators connect a mains power lead to the built-in charger to ensure the unit remains fully charged.
Pneumatic
Our pneumatic units can be certified for use in ATEX and UKEX areas, zones 1, 2, 21 and 22. Operators connect an airline to power a pneumatic-hydraulic circuit which powers the lift, clamp, rotation and drive of the unit. Precise drive control is achieved using a sophisticated pneumatic-hydraulic control circuit.
Power drive system
The power drive system on this unit is controlled from 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 at all times. The rear control panel features a range of push-button controls for the various functions along with a clamp pressure gauge and an emergency stop button for operators to cut off the unit's power if required.
Rear tiller and control panel
Powered drum clamp and forward rotation
This unit has a hydraulic-powered clamping head with powered drum rotation. These powered features save time for operators and allow the unit to be fully operated from the rear panel. Operators simply approach a drum, clamp the arms around it by pressing the 'clamp' button, press 'lift', and then press 'rotate' to empty it. The machine provides ample reach when tipping into large vessels or machines. We can modify the tipping clearances to suit your exact requirements.
The flexible pads adapt to the contours of the drums and are able to accommodate a wide range of drum diameters from 11”-24” (280mm-610mm). The power-clamp pads are configured to allow drums to be removed from the corner of a pallet if needed. When lifting drums on and off pallets we can also offer a dedicated drum lifter from our range.
Each gripping head can be adapted to suit your specific lifting application. If you have custom-made drums or unique drums we can provide tailor-made gripping pads to ensure these containers can be clamped, lifted, and tipped safely and easily.
Clamping pad designs
Our power-clamp unit is universal by design and is suitable for handling a wide range of drum types and sizes. The versatile clamping pads are suitable for handling drums with a diameter range of between 11” (280mm) and 24” (610mm) and of up to 39.37” (1000mm) in height.
The clamping arrangement can accommodate steel, plastic, and fiberboard drums. Very soft or flexible drums will need to be handled with care as the hydraulic clamping force can distort these. L-ring plastic drums will require a separate INS02 attachment due to their unique properties. Please get in touch with information on your drum types and sizes to check compatibility.
Power clamp drum suitability
ATEX and 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 is supplied with a Declaration of Conformity which states compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
