Container dischargers are also commonly known as box dumpers, bin dumpers, drum dumpers, gaylord dumpers, and tote, or fiber drum dumpers. NBE container dischargers allow for the controlled unload and discharge of dry materials from hard-to-handle loads while reducing manual labor and eliminating the need for equipment operators to bend to lift heavy material containers. Safe, efficient, dust-free, and complete unloading of materials from containers will always be critical material handling design factors. The NBE Forward Thinking philosophy brings sealed container discharger design up to the process integration level. NBE drum, bin, box, barrel, or gaylord dischargers consistently provide a reliable and repeatable material supply as your system demands.
From the simplest container dumper to a completely automated container discharger material processing system, the Real Results obtained everyday by NBE’s customers include: increased throughput and productivity; improved system controls integration; reduced operating costs through savings in direct labor and material losses due to spillage, incomplete container discharge, and foreign material contamination.
Features And Options
When it comes to container dischargers, three decades of experience in designing and manufacturing specialty drum and container dischargers for controlled unloading of dry bulk materials has certainly taught NBE one thing - no two dry bulk materials or unloader applications are the same. The wide variety of available drum, tote, barrel, box, or other container styles and sizes, specific material flow characteristics, material process demands, and application constraints require that the discharger equipment manufacturer possess the kind of keen insight that only the experience of a company like NBE can provide.
By looking downstream into your system's material handling needs, NBE applies its vast materials and process knowledge to configure the required container discharger features that will optimize your entire system's bulk material handling and system integration performance. Whether your specific needs require dischargers for specialized hydraulic unloading, or standard drum or tote dumpers, NBE has the systems engineering experience to solve any application.
Automation And Integration
Consideration of the container discharger's unloading function within the larger process is built into every drum, bin, tote, box, or other container discharger we make. NBE designs beyond the simple stuff like ensuring containers fit within the discharger, or considering dump height, available floor space and ceiling height. NBE designs to the deeper questions when we develop automated container dischargers. How will material be introduced to the unit? What material characteristics might alter the method of unloading from the discharger? What is the best method of discharging the material from the dumper to the process? What is the optimal processing rate, plant sanitary requirements, opportunities for discharge automation of the dumper, and other considerations necessary for successful integration of the container discharging equipment into the process?
Regarding the supply of your dry bulk material from the discharger to your process, NBE will select the best discharge method to fit your process needs. For material dumping applications where it's impossible to discharge material directly into your process, NBE first analyzes your material and downstream system. We then select the optimal conveying system to transfer the material from the container dumper to the heart of your process. Screw conveyors, pneumatic conveyors, belt conveyors, bucket elevators, drag conveyors, etc. can all be seamlessly integrated into your material dumping process with an NBE container discharger.
Regardless of the type of machine linked to an NBE container discharger, our goal is to improve your process operation bottom line through the improved efficiency of your integrated container discharge system. And, to further ensure that your specially designed NBE discharger will be perfectly tuned to your process, it is extensively factory tested using your product and containers prior to shipment. Of course, your best first step in researching a container discharging system is to put NBE's skilled application engineers and designers to work on your toughest material dumping process challenges. Our staff is uniquely qualified and equipped to engineer and build container dischargers from the ground up. Intelligent. Inventive. And always attentive to your desires and goals; the NBE team stands ready to apply their expertise and experience to deliver Real Results for you and your company.
At NBE we believe intelligent automation makes all production processes safe, user friendly and just plain more efficient. Current advances in PLC control technology makes automating unload and dump processes more economical than ever before and directly reduces discharge equipment labor costs. That's why, at NBE we offer dischargers for every process application from simple automated container dump tasks to fully automated, and synchronized unloader discharge systems. The real result of intelligent automation from NBE is a drastic reduction in long term operating costs while increasing throughput due to the speed and timeliness of repetitive tasks.
Our lift and seal container dischargers allow for a wealth of automated functions throughout their operational cycles. With the push of a single button, optional PLC controls can automate everything from simple dumper operations (such as taking a container from placement in the equipment to its final discharge position) to automating the entire sequence of operations. Indeed, when integrated with our indexing and staging conveyors, our most complete automated container dischargers can reduce human involvement to literally placing full containers at one end of the discharging system and removing empty ones at the other. All at a rate that optimizes the capacity of the entire process. Now that's Forward Thinking!
