The Backsaver BR tipping machine is designed to empty wide plastic bins, pallet crates and other large containers. Unlike the Backsaver ST tipper, it’s a wider, larger stationary machine that can occasionally be moved. This machine easily accepts loads from pallet jacks, pallet trucks or forklift trucks.
Improved process: Big time at deboning plants
Backsavers are simple, easy-to-use machines that enhance production and reduce the risk of workplace injury. Independent controls on both sides of the machine are reachable regardless of its actual position with respect to a post-processing or sorting table, thus eliminating all the extra walking around the machine to operate it, reducing downtime and making it a very popular solution at deboning facilities. This machine can also be easily integrated into a process line to discharge large bins onto a belt conveyor or into a screw conveyor’s hopper.
Health and enhanced productivity: Reduced risk of back injuries; increased throughput
This machine is designed to be installed at specific locations for emptying operations. When needed, it can still be occasionally relocated. A bin of product (meat, fish, vegetables, etc.) is moved to the designated area and loaded into the tipper with a pallet jack or forklift. The bin is then tipped in a single smooth motion until the product starts to come out or even further to the maximum set angle. Because manual lifting, crouching and bending are no longer necessary, the risk of back pain, strain and injury is reduced. Healthy personnel are happier, more efficient and productive, and throughput is maximized.
Powerful rechargeable battery
Backsavers are powered by rechargeable batteries, so they can be used everywhere on the work floor. The battery is suitable for operation in refrigerated areas and can be plugged in overnight for convenient charging. With a fully charged battery you can handle approximately 50 tons of products.
Operational safety: No forced lowering; warning sound for caution
The BR, with two heavy-duty locking swivel casters mounted outside of the frame for maximum stability, can optionally be set to a tipping angle of up to 110 degrees while remaining safe and stable. Like other Backsavers, this machine is driven by a hydraulic cylinder that uses gravity for the lowering action. So, it’s very safe because it significantly reduces the risk that its moving parts might incur bodily injury. For even greater safety, it features an audible backup signal that warns others about parts in motion, ensuring extra attention during operation.
Hygiene and food safety
Backsavers are developed especially for the food industry. They are safe to operate and suitable for direct contact with food products. These machines are stainless steel for easier cleanups and wash-downs making it possible to use power washers. BR has been engineered, designed and manufactured in the Netherlands since early 1980s, and the very first machines are still in use today!
