This automated bulk filling system features a High-Lift Drum Dumper that automatically transfers bulk solid materials from drums to the dispensing valve dust-free and fills pails by weight. The lift-and-seal-type drum dumper is loaded at floor level onto a platen that lifts hydraulically to form a dust-tight seal between the drum lip and gasketted discharge cone. The entire drum carriage elevates hydraulically, then tips, causing the cone to mate with a gasketted receiving ring on the filling machine’s surge hopper lid, after which a slide gate valve at the cone spout is actuated, allowing material to fill the hopper with no dusting.
