  • Standard electric control includes start, stop and jog functions
  • Other motor voltages, explosion proof, and air motors are available
  • Sturdy frame built to resist stress and shock of tumbling load

Drum Tumbler Applications

  • Mix dry powders, wet grains, dyes, fine and coarse granules, settled liquids and powders with these drum tumblers

To rotate plastic or fiber drumNote: End-Over-End Drum Tumblers are designed for a 55-gallon steel drum. To rotate fiber or plastic drum end-over-end, order custom End-Over-End Drum Rotator with Tilt-To-Load style drum holder or order Tilt-To-Load Drum Rotator.

Optional Equipment for Drum Tumblers

Load Cranes assist in loading your drum onto End-Over End Drum Rotator

Optional Loading Crane for End-Over-End Drum Tumbler
Load Crane

Load Crane for self-contained loading capability has a short piece of alloy lifting-chain with a connector to attach the Drum Lifting Hook. The Load Crane uses the Drum Lifting Hook to engage a horizontal drum. The lifting range and pivot travel of the Load Crane enables lifting a horizontal drum from floor in front of the drum tumbler up to and into one drum-holder of the drum tumbler, and back again.

Order ONE load crane for single drum tumbler. Order TWO load cranes for a double drum tumbler.

  • Model 300LC - Load Crane factory installed: welded to right side of 1-300 or 2-300 end-over-end drum rotator.
  • Model 300LCL - Load Crane factory installed: welded to left side of double end-over-end drum rotator.

Load Cranes for Field Installation - Dimensional drawing

  • Model 300LCF - Load Crane for field installation. Bolt to right side of your 1-300 or 2-300 end-over-end drum rotator.
  • Model 300LCFL - Load Crane for field installation. Bolt to left side of your double end-over-end drum rotator.

The Load Crane assists in loading a drum into the tumbler for those without a hoist over the machine. A more ergonomic solution for the same application is provided by the Tilt-to-Load Drum Tumblers with power lift of an upright drum from floor level.

Enclosures with Safety Interlock
Enclosure with safety interlock for drum tumbler
Guard Enclosure GEK-2-300-1-115
(Drum Tumbler sold separately)

Note: OSHA Requirement for enclosure with safety interlock Install all Morse Rotators in accordance with OSHA requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc. so the rotator automatically turns off when enclosure door is opened. One way to accomplish this is with a Morse enclosure with safety interlock.

For OSHA compliance, see OSHA subpart O.1910.212(a)(4) "Barrels, containers, and drums. Revolving drums, barrels, and containers shall be guarded by an enclosure which is interlocked with the drive mechanism, so that the barrel, drum, or container cannot revolve unless the guard enclosure is in place."

Power connections and motor controls must comply with applicable codes.
