TBDICS

Empty drums and bins with hard frozen product

Does your industry benefit from emptying drums or tote bins with frozen product and crushing it into smaller, manageable flakes for further processing or use? 

Enhance processing efficiency and improve safety with the Tote-Bin-Dumper-Ice-Crusher (TBDICS) from Fluidor Equipment. Designed for an efficient emptying of open top drums or bins containing products like (hard frozen) fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates. 

Juice:
35 bins or 120 drums per hour

Ice:
120 drums per hour* (when used in combination with 2x CIM)

Concentrate:
29 bins or 70 drums/hour

*Without using Bag Squeezer, frozen drums well pre-thawed

How the TBDICS works:

  • Per dumping cycle, 2 drums can be emptied. Hard frozen products in drums need to be pre-thawed until the frozen product block is free from the liner and drum. 
  • After production, the CIP cover can be closed and the twin screw can be used as a CIP circulation pump.
  • The drums and bins are placed on the driven pallet roller conveyor system where the lid(s) are removed and liner(s) are opened. 
  • After opening, the drums and bins are transported in the holder of the TBDICS that can handle all the different types of packages.
  • The drums and bins are clamped and lifted by stainless steel hydraulic cylinders and emptied in the hopper.
  • The hydraulic operated grid is opened for frozen product and closed for liquid products in bags. 
  • The operator feeds the bottom part of the liner into the squeezer and the remaining product is squeezed out, reducing the product loss to a bare minimum.
  • When dumping hard frozen products, the electric driven crusher with pins crushes the product into flakes. 
  • At the heated bottom of the hopper, the driven screw conveyor pushes the product into the twin screw product pump. 
Efficient

The TBDICS efficiently crushes product from tote bins into smaller, manageable pieces, preventing product loss and saving time.

Safe & easy

The TBDICS is food safe according to the regulations and easy and safe to operate and clean.

Versatile

The TBDICS has several extra options, can be integrated into automated production lines and can be combined with other Fluidor machines.

TBD-FLUIDS

Empty tote bins and drums efficiently

Does your industry work with liquids stored in containers and do you want to transfer these liquids to production processes or other storage facilities? The Tote Bin Dumper-Fluids from Fluidor Equipment empties your tote bins and drums quickly, efficiently and safely.

The TBD-Fluids is designed for an efficient emptying of tote bins and drums with liquid product in aseptic bags, like fruit juices and concentrates or other liquids up to 70°. Depending on the bin / drum infeed and your product, it can handle 20 tote bins or 40 drums per hour (2 drums per cycle).

How the TBD-Fluids works:

  • After production, CIP covers are placed and TBD-Fluids can be integrated into your CIP-process.
  • The tote bins or drums are placed on the roller conveyor system by fork lift truck. 
  • The covers are removed and the bag is opened by an operator.
  • Bins and drums are centred for correct infeed in the bin/drum holder for pneumatic lifting / dumping. 
  • The bag falls on the grid and the product flows towards the product discharge pump. 
  • Operator feeds the bag into the squeezer, reducing the product loss to a bare minimum.
Efficient

The TBD-Fluids empties tote bins and drums fast and consistent, which increases production throughput and saves time.

Safe & easy

The TBD-Fluids minimises the risk of spills and accidents, reducing manual lifting and tilting. For a safer work environment and less physical strain on workers.

Cost reduction

The TBD-Fluids automates and integrates into your production lines, designed to completely empty containers. That results in lower labour costs, less material waste and lower maintenance expenses.

TBD-PASTE

Empty tote bins and drums safely and efficiently

Does your industry require emptying tote bins and drums with thick materials like pastes? The Tote Bin Dumper Paste (TBD-Paste) from Fluidor Equipment is designed for automatic emptying of tote bins and drums with aseptically packed viscous products like Cold Break, Hot Break or Super Hot Break Tomato paste (with press plate).

Depending on the infeed and your product, it can handle up to 20 tote bins or 20 drums per hour.

How the TBD-Paste works:

  1. The bins or drums are transported into the roller conveyor section of the bin/drum holder. 
  2. The bin/drum is clamped and lifted by pneumatic cylinders. At the highest tilting point, the aseptic bag falls out of the bin/drum and spreads out on a stainless steel wire belt.
  3. The electric driven press plate lowers and flattens the aseptic bag (option for Super Hot Break). 
  4. The wire belt transports the closed aseptic bag through the washing tunnel, provided with a set of spray-nozzles to clean all sides of the bag with high pressure. The cleaning water is collected and drained. 
  5. Above the product hopper, the aseptic bag is automatically grabbed by the bag squeezer. A pneumatic cylinder pulls the bag squeezer over the driven knives that cut the bag open at the bottom side and the tomato paste flows into the product hopper. 
  6. The aseptic bag is emptied completely by the bag squeezer, reducing the loss to a bare minimum (<0,1%). The empty bags are collected in a waste container at the outlet side of the machine (not in scope of supply). 
  7. At the bottom of the hopper, a driven screw conveyor pushes the product into the external twin screw product pump for the next process step.
  8. After production and short manual pre-cleaning, the C.I.P. covers can be closed and the C.I.P. cleaning with an integrated set of nozzles can be started.

Due to variation in quality (hardness) of the poly liner filler caps, which cannot be influenced by Fluidor and can differ per (bag)supplier, there is a possibility that filler caps from certain bags can break during squeezing, which may lead to pieces of plastic ending up in the product. Fluidor offers a solution for this with transfer caps.

Versatile

The TBD-Paste is versatile, capable of handling a wide range of paste-like substances across various industries.

 

Safe & easy

The TBD-Paste improves workplace safety by minimising the risks associated with manual handling, ensuring a safer environment for operators.

Productive

The TBD-Paste enhances operational efficiency by automating processes for handling and transferring paste-like materials.

How the TBD-Paste LTD works:

  1. The bins or drums are transported into the roller conveyor section of the bin/drum holder. 
  2. The bin/drum is clamped and lifted by pneumatic cylinders. At the highest tilting point, the aseptic bag falls out of the bin/drum and spreads out on a conveyor of tubular rollers. 
  3. The conveyor transports the closed aseptic bag through the washing tunnel, provided with a set of spray-nozzles to clean all sides of the bag with high pressure. 
  4. Above the product hopper, the aseptic bag is automatically grabbed by the bag squeezer. A pneumatic cylinder pulls the bag squeezer over the driven knives that cut the bag open at the bottom side and the tomato paste flows into the product hopper. 
  5. The aseptic bag is emptied completely by the bag squeezer, reducing the loss to a bare minimum (<0,1%). The empty bags are collected in a waste container at the outlet side of the machine (not in scope of supply).
