Flexicon Corp., Bethlehem, Pa., introduced the TIP-TITE drum dumper, designed for use with poorly-flowing or agglomerated materials, allowing rapid transfer of free- and non-free-flowing bulk solid materials dust-free.
Similar in performance to open chute dumpers, but with total dust containment, the outlet on the downstream end of the dumper is nearly equal in area to that of the drum opening, allowing agglomerated materials and large chunks to be discharged with minimal possibility of material bridging.
