***Bulk Bag Unloaders Offer Custom Features***
YORK, NE: Bulk Bag Unloaders are designed to be easily customized for safe handling and clean unloading of any free-flowing dry material in bags. These Bag Unloaders are ruggedly built to support all sizes and styles of bulk bags and unload them without slippage or spills. Flow aids that lift bag sides and massage bags to ensure thorough emptying are included on basic models. Frames are constructed of heavy-duty welded and bolted tubular steel for durability and operator safety. Carbon steel 2-ton frames with hopper trays are standard. Stainless steel and epoxy coating can be ordered for all material contact points. The bag hoist can be manual, pneumatic, or electric. The trolley that pulls the suspended bag into position over the discharge hopper can be manual or motorized, according to customer preference. Hoppers come either with a vent stub for remote dust collection or with an integral Cyclonaire bin vent mounted directly to them. ---Cyclonaire Corp.
***Conveyor Comes With New Perforated Belt Option for Cooling and Draining Applications***
HARTLAND, WI: Designed for light- to medium-duty applications, the 2200 Series Conveyor now comes with a new feature to better accommodate cooling and draining applications -- a perforated bedplate. The option is ideal for applications where the product needs to be cooled. Pre-manufactured holes in the bedplate allow air to naturally flow through the frame and bedplate of the conveyor, cooling passing product. The conveyor can also be hooked up to a vacuum to supply additional air through the bedplate. Another useful feature of the perforated bedplate is that with applications calling for either liquid to be sprayed on passing items or items that are damp from a previous process, the pre-manufactured holes allow moisture to properly drip through the modular plastic belt and bedplate without the worry of collecting inside the frame. The perforated bedplate option is available on 2200 Series conveyors with a width of 12 inches or wider. ---Dorner Mfg. Co.
***Powered Stacker Ideal for Tight Spaces***
ATTLEBORO, MA: The versatile, fully powered PowerStak 8482; Counterbalance Stacker works with any style pallet or skid and is ideal for servicing racks, loading/unloading trucks, feeding machinery, and other applications where straddle legs could get in the way. With a load capacity of 1100 pounds, a load center of 15", and a lift height of 62", the unit has a short yet stable wheel base to maximize maneuverability in tight quarters on uneven floors and ramps. The tilt of the mast is adjustable. Overall height is 82", overall width 32". The forks are each 3" wide and 30" long. The ergonomically designed handle puts all controls within easy reach for maximum operator comfort and convenience. Forward- and reverse-drive "thumb" switches are located on both sides of the handle to accommodate left-hand or right-hand operation. An auto-reversing "belly bump" switch protects operators from potential injury when walking the unit backwards, while an automatic brake immediately halts travel when the stacker is reversed. The polyurethane drive wheel is fully shrouded to protect the operator's feet. ---Presto Lifts Inc.
