Every day, raw material needs to be moved, lifted, and dumped to keep your line productive. But when your current system introduces safety risks, requires constant maintenance, or doesn’t align with your production flow, it slows everything down.
That’s why processors turn to FPEC for dumpers that boast a higher performance and a longer lifespan. Built for heavy-duty food processing use, our dumpers are engineered for operator safety, ease of cleaning, and seamless integration with existing upstream and downstream equipment.
Contact our team today to find dumper equipment tailored to your specific meat or pet food processing application.
The Best Way to Protect Uptime and Eliminate Risky Manual Lifting
Manual dumping creates opportunities for delays, spills, and injuries. Over time, workarounds and outdated dump stations become liabilities. When your equipment can’t handle the material load or breaks down mid-shift, your line suffers, and so does your bottom line.
When your equipment affects your goals, you can’t remain stationary. You need to act fast to get the material handling equipment that supports the pace and sanitation requirements of your modern food processing plant. With FPEC’s customized dumper systems, you can move raw ingredients and in-process material with more control, less effort, and fewer interruptions.
Our Dumpers: Engineered for Food Plant Efficiency
Whether you’re working with drums, bins, totes, or custom containers, we offer a full range of dumping systems designed for high-volume, high-compliance food processing environments.
All FPEC dumpers are built from stainless steel and designed with UL-listed controls built in-house. Every design is tailored to your specific capacity needs and plant layout, letting the equipment adapt to your existing processes, rather than forcing a fit.
Our standard dumper features, unless specified, include:
- 3,000 lb. capacity, higher capacities available
- Self-contained stainless steel hydraulic power unit
- Lifting carriage fabricated from 3/8″ thick formed plate
- Electrical components mounted in NEMA 4X enclosure with slope top box
