Description

PPM crate and tote handling systems make filling and unloading bulk containers efficient and easy. Dump and fill units can work together or separately to handle bulk storage ahead of final processing. They are robust and flexibly designed for a wide range of configurations, with design features that reduce product bruising and damage.

Typical units handle totes or crates of 1,000 to 5,000 lb and can be built in stainless steel or coated mild steel that meets FDA requirements for direct food contact. The open tubular frame is easy to clean, gives the operator good visibility, and operation is safe, intuitive and low-maintenance.

Typical configurations

  • Basic crate dumper
  • Twin discharge feeder
  • Compact dump station
