Hygienic Design Minimizes Maintenance Needs

JBT Marel’s FTNON hydraulic bin tipper is designed with hygiene, safety, and convenience in mind. The system’s power outfeed conveyor can be de-tensioned with one simple movement. The belt frame can be easily accessed to allow for thorough and trouble-free cleaning. The design utilizes minimal bolted connections and horizontal surfaces, making it nearly impossible for dirt to build up.

FAQs

What are the control requirements?

The FTNON bin tipper system features a stainless steel control panel on the main frame with a main isolator, buttons to control up and down movement as well as to stop the machine, an emergency stop button, and a reset button. The controls are simple and intuitive, minimizing training requirements. The infeed of the bin in the system takes place via a hand pallet wagon or a forklift truck. 

How do the double outfeed conveyors work together?

The FTNON bin tipper’s optional double outfeed conveyor setup can be added to your processing line to ensure a more consistent production flow, with high side guards and adjustable speeds. The first conveyor functions as a hopper belt and can collect the full contents of the bin, while the second conveyor operates at a much higher speed to facilitate the process of pulling the product apart. The double conveyor configuration maximizes efficiency and ensures consistent processing speeds.
