Hocker SL25 Tote bin inverter

• Transferring ingredients from tote bins into processing machinery such as mixers, grinders, or depositors.
• Emptying bulk ingredients like powders, granules, or small solid food items from standard tote bins.
• Feeding production lines with raw materials in a controlled and hygienic manner.
• Discharging waste or by-products from tote bins into collection systems.

Typical capacity

Designed for standard 200L or 300L tote bins (Eurobins), commonly handling loads up to 250-300 kg.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 0.75kW, 3-phase. For this class of equipment, 400V, 50Hz is typically required in the UK.

Construction material

As a food-grade unit, it is constructed from stainless steel, typically 304 or 316 grade, for hygiene and durability.

Inversion height

The discharge height is variable depending on the specific model and application, commonly ranging from 1.5m to 2.5m.

Safety features

Units of this type commonly include safety guarding, emergency stop buttons, and interlocks to prevent operation during unsafe conditions.

Footprint

The footprint is relatively compact for a standalone unit, typically requiring a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus operational space.

• What type of tote bins can this inverter handle?

  This Hocker SL25 is designed for standard Eurobins (tote bins). Buyers should confirm the exact bin dimensions and locking mechanism compatibility with the seller.

• Is this unit suitable for wet ingredients?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• How is the tipping angle controlled?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

Lifting and tipping equipment for food handling is valued for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, stainless steel components where applicable, and compliance with food safety standards. When purchasing used models, inspectors should assess mechanical wear, hydraulic system condition, and operational smoothness. Common strengths include longevity when properly maintained, efficient load handling, and adaptability to various food processing workflows. Equipment reputation generally remains strong provided previous maintenance records are documented and critical seals show minimal degradation.
