Sometimes a simple lift and dump action is not the best approach to the process. You need a means to accurately place the discharge of your product as it flows from the drum.
A classic example of this is the loading of tablets into a coater having a vertical port with deep baffles. Simply tilting the drum and chute will result in extensive spillage. Tilting while lifting and positioning is risky for both the operator and the product. At the same time a mobile base is the only means of providing subsequent access to the coater for discharge and maintenance. |
