Food-processing facilities must be able to move heavy product containers efficiently. FPEC's pivot dumper was created to simplify this task.
This precision-engineered machine provides a safe and reliable way to lift empty bins without putting strain on operators. Its pivoting action promotes smooth, controlled dumping, keeping production lines moving steadily while reducing workplace risks.
We manufacture our pivot dumpers using heavy-duty steel construction. What's more, the machines include numerous standard features intended to support the food-processing industry.
The customizable discharge height and durable dumpers make our equipment the ideal fit when your operations demand optimal uptime and ease of maintenance. The stainless steel buckets are easy to sanitize, and the extended pivot precisely places materials where you need them to go.
Addressing Material Handling Challenges With the FPEC Pivot Dumper
Manual lifting and dumping can cause injuries and slow production to a crawl.
If you experience bottlenecks at the dumping stage, it can interfere with downstream processing requirements. As facilities scale up, relying on manual labor for heavy handling often results in higher operating costs, especially when dealing with tricky or sluggish materials.
FPEC's pivot dumper offers a safer and more expedient solution.
Our heavy-duty dump machine automates the process, effortlessly moving bins and totes through the production line. The easy maintenance design makes for optimal efficiency and minimal downtime. Our pivot dumper is built to withstand the rigorous day-to-day use you rely on it to perform.
