Parcel Tipper

BTM/2P/750/1400/B/G Parcel Tipper

This Parcel Tipper was designed to lift and tip a 750 Kgs Pallet Box of Parcels (1200mm L x 1000mm W x 1500mm H) at a discharge height of ¬1400mm. The Parcel Tipper is manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, is a welded construction throughout and is designed to be bolted to the floor. The lifting is accomplished via chains driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the one column with a crossover shaft to the other column. The parcels are tipped onto a V shaped divider plate in the hopper to guide the parcels onto two separate outfeed conveyors.

Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards

This Parcel Tipper was supplied complete with a safety guard to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 2.0mm stainless steel sheet. It encloses the Parcel Tipper to a height of 2200mm on two sides, 1200mm at the tipping position with a pair of hinged guard doors on the fourth side. The guard doors are electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the Parcel Tipper from operating when the door is open. Additionally, the guard doors can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the full down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised. The safety guarding extended down each side of the hopper at the tipping position to prevent access around the end of the guard.

Parcel Tipper Electrical Control

This Parcel Tipper is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the Safety Guard at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). The control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility.

Upper and Lower end of travel limit switches are positioned to prevent inadvertent adjustment or damage but are easily adjustable by trained personnel for fine adjustment on site. The guarded Parcel Tipper operation is latched so that pressing the ‘Up’ push button once will raise the lift to the full tip position. Once the product has been discharged, pressing the ‘Down’ push button once will return the Parcel Tipper to the full down position. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
