DRUM TIPPER WITH INTEGRAL FLEXIBLE
SCREW CONVEYOR FROM FLEXICON
the flexible screw rotates, it self-centres within
the tube, providing ample clearance between
the screw and the tube wall to eliminate or
minimise grinding. The unit accommodates
drums from 115 to 200 litres weighing up to
340kg and measuring 915 to 1220mm in height.
The Drum Tipper is available constructed of
carbon steel with durable industrial finishes,
with material contact surfaces of stainless steel,
or in all-stainless steel finished to food, dairy,
pharmaceutical or industrial standards.

COMBILIFT LAUNCHES THE
COMBI-OP ORDER PICKER
which automatically adjusts according
to lift heights. Combilift developed the
world’s first multi-directional all-wheel
drive IC engine powered forklift in
1998. The company has more than
The new TIP-TITE Drum Tipper with integral
flexible screw conveyor allows volumetric
feeding of bulk material from drums into
downstream processes free of dust. A hydraulic
cylinder raises and seats the drum rim against a
discharge cone, after which a second hydraulic
cylinder tips the drum to an angle of 45, 60 or
90 degrees with a motion-dampening feature.
At full rotation, a pneumatically-actuated slide
gate valve opens and charges the conveyor,
which meters the material volumetrically according
to infinitely adjustable user controls. As
Intelligent and straightforward blower control
– that’s what makes the Sigma the solution for
blower station automation. This sophisticated
controller delivers maximum energy efficiency and
cost savings whilst making the station ready for
Industrie 4.0 applications. The core component
of a blower station, the Sigma acts as the central
mastermind and controls the individual machines
with maximum efficiency whilst perfectly adjusting
the flow capacity to match flow rate demand. All it
needs from the process control system is the desired
differential pressure value – the SAM 4.0 then
ensures optimal control of all blowers. Partial-load
bridging and individual solutions are therefore
things of the past, along with complicated setups.
Now, all applications are supplied by one central
blower station with a master controller that
analyses operating data in seconds and simulates
various scenarios in order to select the most efficient
solution. The result? Previously unimaginable
energy efficiency. www.kaeser.co.nz
Materials handling solutions provider
Combilift has launched the first
purpose-built order picker. The
Combi-OP is the first of its kind on the
worldwide market for long products.
Previously customers have had to
modify traditional order pickers to
cope with the specific demands
of long loads. The Combi-OP now
guarantees much more efficient and
non-compromised operation for
easy picking of long profiles in, for
example, steel service centres. This
man-up truck features a long platform
to enable the operator to access
long products stored at height. It is
fitted with guide rollers to enable it
to operate in existing guided narrow
aisles of just 1.4m – the same width as
those needed for Combilift’s GT truck.
It enables operators to easily and
safely hand pick orders for customers
from the roomy elevated platform
and it has a capacity of 450kg. Its
overhead guard, light anti-slip floor,
self-closing platform gate and guard
rails guarantee utmost safety, as does
the travel speed and steering angle
