Morse 310 Series Tilt-to-Load Drum Tumblers rotate a closed drum "corner-over-corner" to thoroughly mix the contents. Morse Tumblers are used to ensure homogeneous and uniform batches, remix valuable settled or stratified ingredients, or smooth rough parts by tumbling with media.
310 Series models rotate a drum from 5 to 20 RPM (4 to 16 RPM for 50Hz models). Motors are 2 HP. Model 310-A is air-powered, and includes air controls.

One can quickly load an upright drum onto the base plate of a Tilt-To-Load Drum Rotator at floor level with model 81 Drum Spotter...

...or with a below-hook drum lifter and your hoist or crane. Secure your drum in holder using the polyester web strap and ratchet around drum, and two clamps on top of the drum.

The ergonomic power tilt control raises the drum to rotating position. Turn the motor on to activate drum tumbler hydraulics. Tilt the drum to top position with the RAISE control valve. Use the second control to start and stop drum tumbling. Begin drum rotation with the ROTATE control valve.

Install all Morse Rotators in accordance with requirements for enclosure and safety interlock, etc. One way to accomplish this is with a Morse enclosure with safety interlock, so the rotator automatically turns off when enclosure door is opened. Power connections and motor controls must also comply with applicable local codes.
For OSHA compliance in the USA, 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."
NEMA 4/12 Control Box includes Timer, Start and Stop Buttons, Red Emergency Stop Button, Lockable Main Disconnect, and Wire terminals for safety interlock switch. NEMA 7/9 Explosion-Proof Control Box includes Start and Stop Buttons, and wire terminals for external connection of safety interlock switch.
Only NON-Explosion Proof AC Control Packages include a pre-wired control box. Explosion-Proof Control Packages have no wiring from the NEMA 7/9 control box to the motor. Please consult an electrician to complete the wiring in accordance to your local code.
Explosion-Proof motors are rated for Class I Group D, and Class II Groups F & G.
Air powered model 310-A requires plant air at 50 to 60 PSI and flowing at a rate of 60 SCFM. Filter, Regulator, Lubricator and Valve are included with model 310-A.
