The Wyma Bin & Bag Tipper is a versatile, automated tipping system designed to gently unload fresh produce from bins, boxes, or large-format bags (up to 2 metric tonnes / 4,000 lbs) that are too heavy for manual handling. Its robust design and adaptable configuration make it ideal for a wide range of packhouse operations.
Key Features:
- Multi-purpose capability: Suitable for wooden, plastic, or cardboard bins/boxes and large big bags.
- Capacity: Handles loads ranging from 0.5 to 2 tonnes.
- Flexible sizing: Available in models to suit bin, box, and bag widths from 900 mm (3 ft) to dual 2450 mm (8 ft).
- Quick changeover: Effortlessly switch between bin and bag configurations using a removable bin support frame.
- Height adjustable: Bin/box retainer bar can be adjusted to accommodate different heights.
Performance & Integration:
- Designed to pair effectively with Takeaway Conveyors, Evenflow, Wet Hoppers, or Creep Feed Hoppers, depending on the product type and handling process.
- The tipping process begins while the produce is mid-air, requiring a compatible receiving system for optimal performance.
- Controlled tipping rotation up to 140°, ensuring complete product discharge.
Safety & Control:
- Gentle tipping to preserve product integrity.
- Durable construction built to withstand heavy-duty use and incidental forklift impact.
- Hydraulic power pack optimized for speed and load-specific operation.
- Dual linkage arms ensure smooth, energy-efficient motion.
- Integrated spring-loaded hooks securely hold bags, especially those with base-mounted straps.
- Sensor-assisted automation: Detects when bins or bags are empty and returns the cradle to the loading position. User-friendly control panel (when electric controls are supplied) enables easy and safe operation.
Operational Workflow:
- Bins, boxes, or bags are placed into the cradle by forklift.
- For big bags, the operator manually secures the bag using integrated hooks.
- The tipper then rotates at a controlled speed, adjustable by the operator or through product-depth sensors.
- Upon emptying, the tipper automatically resets to its load position.
This advanced tipping solution eliminates the need for separate bin and bag tippers, reduces footprint, and enhances workplace safety while maintaining Wyma’s commitment to gentle, efficient produce handling.
