Barrel Dumper Questions and Answers
Barrel Dumper Recommendations
A Barrel Dumper is a very key piece of drum dumper equipment, which is indispensable to any business that utilizes drums to any significant degree. Many businesses that operate large industrial facilities make extensive use of 30- and 55-gallon drum barrels. Very often, these drums are utilized by companies that manufacture or distribute either chemicals or liquid or solid food products. Due in large part to their weight coupled with the frequency with which they’re used, drums necessitate specialized equipment to efficiently maneuver them. This equipment includes drum stackers, lifters, carriers, and jacks, to name several. Please take a few moments to read the following brief article to learn about stationary drum dumpers and how they can significantly increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your industrial facility.
Barrel Dumper equipment models are absolutely essential overall design of the drum dumper equipment process for any industrial business that operates a large, open-air facility in which 30- or 55-gallon steel, plastic, or fiber drums are frequently used. When full, these drums are extremely heavy and necessitate the use of heavy-duty drum mover models, drum tilters, and stationary drum dumpers to efficiently transport them, maneuver them, and empty their contents. One key reason for industrial companies to purchase and employ drum dumpers is basic ergonomics and worker safety. The task of manually emptying a single, full 55-gallon drum would place very significant physical strain on any worker. Asking a worker to empty several drums one after the other would be extraordinarily ill advised from a health-care standpoint. Strain or injury ultimately resulting in absenteeism, medical care, and worker’s compensation claims would be a near certainty.
Mechanized stationary drum dumper equipment, when properly used, virtually eliminate the chance of a worker injury caused by emptying a drum. These hydraulic drum dumper models operate at the push of a button, freeing the employee from any lifting or bending. Apart from protecting workers from strain and injury, drum dumpers also dramatically increase the speed and effectiveness with which drum dumping is handled, thus enabling the facility to operate much more efficiently. They allow a single worker to quickly and efficiently empty many drums during a short period of time. For large, busy factories and distribution centers that dispense many drums on regular timetables, the speed and efficiency that these drum dumpers provide is vitally important.
Another key attribute of Barrel Dumper models is that they lower instances of drum spillage. Because barrels can hold up to 55 gallons of product, spills often can be costly due to ruined contents. In addition, since barrels may contain corrosive chemicals, spills of such contents can cause costly damage to the area where the mishap occurred, and, sometimes, to nearby equipment that the spilled chemicals came into contact with. And, if a spill involves a chemical that is highly toxic, it can become physically hazardous to workers. A key Barrel Dumper feature that works to reduce spillage is the ability to dispense at various heights. This ensures that the barrels will be dispensed at the proper height in relation to what they’re being emptied into, thereby reducing the chance of spillage.
