'''End Tipping Hopper''' has many industrial and construction applications. It’s compact size and maneuverability saves space and time in a busy workshop. The End Tipping Hopper adds a level of safety to an already automated process. | |||
==Operation Principles== | |||
When the front of the hopper comes in to contact with the container into which it is being emptied, or any other fixed edge, two spring loaded buffers release a locking hook allowing the full hopper to roll forward and empty its contents. The empty hopper will then roll back and automatically lock in the original position ready for reuse. | |||
All hoppers are fitted with safety catches to prevent accidental tipping. A safety chain is fitted and used when the hopper is lifted, this is to prevent the hopper from sliding forward on the forks of the lift truck being used. | |||
Castors can be fitted, giving the ability to move the hopper by hand to collect waste from several locations or to positions not easily reached by lift trucks. | |||
Rope hooks may be added as an option to allow the hopper to be fitted with a plastic sheet cover. | |||
==Common Specifications== | |||
Standard width of End Tipping Hopper is 3.1m. | |||
Belt widths are 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2100mm and 2400mm. | |||
Belts are supported on heavy duty 4" pitch roller side chains with a breaking capacity of 15000lb. | |||
Belts are thick reinforced rubber (not thin pvc) and have moulded chevrons to assist the emptying of the hopper and to prevent crop slippage on the belt. | |||
12.5 x 18 wheels and removable drawbar are fitted. | |||
Hopper back rubber is adjustable in height to accommodate different height trailers. | |||
Belt top drive shaft is driven from both sides to give a positive and robust drive system necessary when working in tough conditions. | |||
Variable speed via an inverter gives the ideal belt speed for the job. | |||
