New from Flexicon
(Europe) is an Open
Chute Box Dumper that
offers a safe, low cost
method of discharging
bulk solid materials from
boxes, totes and other
containers when dust
containment is not a
requirement. The unit
accommodates boxes and bins with
sides from 915 to 1220mm and
heights from 990 to 1120mm.

The box-container lift assembly is
tipped hydraulically until material
discharges from the container onto a
smooth, flat chute that allows
unobstructed discharge of freeflowing
materials – as well as nonfree-
flowing products containing
large agglomerates –
into receiving vessels.

Twin hydraulic
cylinders pivot the
platform-chute assembly,
with the container
secured from sliding by
transverse sidewall
braces, to discharge
angles of 45 or 60°
beyond horizontal, including a
motion-dampening feature at the
termination of container rotation.
