Tilt-To-Load Drum Tumblers with Safety Enclosure and Automated Controls

Morse Manufacturing Company offers an online demonstration video and detailed literature describing the "corner-over-corner" drum tumbler with the drum angled off of its center axis for greatest mixing effectiveness. Tilt-To-Load Drum Tumblers allow floor level loading of an upright drum, and powered raise of drum to rotating position. The advanced Automated Control Package installed by a Morse technician automatically lifts your drum, rotates it for the time you set, and then returns it to upright position at floor-level for easy handling. The built-in safety interlock on the enclosure automatically shuts off the drum rotator when the gate is opened.

Watch the video to see how it works.
