BTM/400/1700/M/G Single Pillar Compactor Bin TipperThis Compactor Bin Tipper was a single pillar tipper designed to lift and tip a mobile plastic bin (1200 x 800 x 820mm High) containing recycled tins and cans at a discharge height of 1700mm into a Compactor. The Compactor Bin Tipper was manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel and was a welded construction throughout. The Compactor Bin Tipper was mobile on castors to allow it to be moved away for maintenance access to the Compactor. The lifting is achieved by a ¾” Duplex chain driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the main column. Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery GuardsThe Compactor Bin 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 Compactor Bin Tipper to a height of 2200mm on three sides with a hinged guard door on the fourth side. The guard door is electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the Compactor Bin Tipper from operating when the door is open. Additionally, the guard door can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the full down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised. Compactor Bin Tipper Electrical ControlThe Compactor Bin Tipper was fitted with an IP65 Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the main column at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). 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 control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility. The Compactor Bin 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 Compactor Bin 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.
