Stainless-Steel Drum Pourer with Powered Clamp
Product Code: STE01 / STP01-RRH01-SS-Ex
Manufactured in high quality stainless steel this unit is ideally suited to the food or pharmaceutical industries. The ultimate in versatility, our power clamp drum tipper can lift and tip drums and barrels from 50 to 220 litres. This unit can be supplied with electric or pneumatic power sources depending upon your requirements; the pneumatic air powered system (as photographed) requires an airline connection; this version is designed for ATEX and UKEX hazardous areas, zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.
Featuring powered clamp, lift and rotation, this model is a great fit for those companies looking for efficiency gains in departments that handle drums. All our units are installed with fully-compliant lift circuits; STS qualified engineers install all our units with the mandatory safety features and emergency stops to keep operators safe during use.
This stainless steel power-clamp drum tipper also features a clamp pressure gauge to allow operators to monitor the clamp pressure during use. Additionally, the hydraulic rams are protected by burst valves should a hose or fitting be damaged during use.
Fully compliant circuits
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
We construct these machines from 304-grade stainless steel and treat the surface to ensure they have a smooth clean finish - operators can easily clean and disinfect the unit between uses if needed.
The unit is fitted with Ackermann-style rear-wheel steering giving maximum control when tipping drums into your process; the wheels are 6.29” (160mm) in diameter and contain two precision bearings. We fit rear operator-controlled park brakes on all drum tipper models to ensure the unit remains stationary when it is left unattended. STS can help with custom leg configurations if this is a requirement for example when interfacing with a wide vessel or narrow machine.
Controllable rear-wheel steering
ATEX and UKEX-certified for gas and dust zones 1,2, 21 and 22 (optional)
When explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres exist, we are able to supply ATEX and UKEX compliant drum tipping equipment. Our pneumatic-hydraulic model can be certified for use in Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 environments. Unfortunately, we are not currently able to offer an electric ATEX or UKEX drum tipper as part of our range; it is possible to get an electric model converted by a 3rd party if required.
Each of our 'Ex' rated drum handlers is designed to ensure electrical continuity, a path to ground is always present. We supply a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity which states compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
