A new Tip-Tite High-Lift Box/Container Dumper from Flexicon, Bethlehem, Pa., discharges dust-free into vessels 6 to 10 ft above the plant floor. Boxes and other containers are loaded at floor level and hydraulically seated against a discharge hood. The assembly is then hydraulically elevated and tipped, causing the discharge-hood spout to seat against a gasketed receiving ring installed on a receiving vessel or process equipment. Opening of a pneumatic slide-gate valve at the spout outlet allows controlled, dust-free discharge, while closing it allows partially empty boxes and containers to be returned to the plant floor. The unit accommodates Gaylords and other boxes. Constructed of stainless steel finished to industrial or sanitary standards, the unit is also available in carbon steel and with optional receiving hoppers configured with the company's mechanical or pneumatic conveyors to transport discharged material to any plant location. 610-814-2400 • flexicon.com Stainless-Steel, High-Lift Box Container/Dumper MATERIALS HANDLING SHEET EXTRUSION TECHNOLOGY LEADER Processing Technologies International, LLC | 2655 White Oak Circle Aurora, IL 60502 | Tel: 630.585.5800 | Fax: 630.585.5855 World Class Sheet Extrusion Systems HVTSE ® Model 170mm/42D w/3500 Co-extruder Model GCH841830 Horizontal Five Chrome Roll Stand HVTSE ® DRYER-LESS EXTRUSION SYSTEMS M-ATEX ™ Die Splitting Support TITAN ® Plus Control Automation 100% Flake Capability A/B/A Co-ex Structure 5 Zone Temp Station Dual Payoff Lamination Cell Film Access Hatchways High vacuum twin screw extruder by Bandera Not Just Another Screen Changer… A Complete Filtration System Hackensack, NJ 07601 • Tel: 201-488-0010 www.screenchanger.com 1969-2017 Our 48th Year HITECH ™ screen changers represent the state-of-the-art in polymer melt filtration, supplying a complete filtration system that fully integrates the functioning of the screen changer with the entire extrusion process • Automatically maintains uniform melt pressure for months of uninterrupted production • Constant head pressure improves product quality with tighter tolerances • Continuous roll of screen lasts f or months.
