Mobile Lifting Turner for Food Industry – Stainless Steel Automated Feeding System
Overview
This case analysis examines a mobile lifting and turning platform customized for the food processing industry.
Specifically designed for raw material handling processes, it features an all-stainless steel platform and mobile structure, achieving precise 110-degree turning operation at 1350mm height, effectively addressing the industry’s demands for high hygiene standards and frequent process changes.
Basic Parameters
Parameter | Value/Specification |
---|---|
Rated Load | 2000 kg |
Platform Size | 1200×1200+1200×800 mm |
Turning Angle | 110 degrees |
Lifting Height | 1350mm (including self-height) |
Platform Material | 304 Stainless Steel |
Drive Power | 4KW Hydraulic Power Unit |
Lifting Cylinders | φ90-70×2 units |
Turning Cylinders | φ90-70×2 units |
Mobility Configuration | 4 brake casters + 4 manual support legs |
How It Works
The equipment achieves flexible mobility and fixation through four brake casters and manual support legs.
After placing the pallet box on the stainless steel platform, the lifting cylinders elevate the platform to the 1350mm working height, where operators insert safety pins to secure the position.
The turning cylinders then drive the platform to complete a 110-degree turn, accurately pouring materials into the hopper.
The entire system adopts an integrated design with the power unit and electrical cabinet moving along with the equipment.
The Challenges
The food processing industry faces several challenges in raw material handling:
- Manual feeding is labor-intensive with low production efficiency
- Traditional equipment has sanitary dead angles difficult to meet food-grade requirements
- Production processes require frequent position changes, making fixed equipment unsuitable
- Feeding height needs precise control to avoid material splashing and waste
- Flexible solutions needed to adapt to different container specifications
Solutions
- Mobile Design: Brake casters and support legs enable flexible movement between workstations
- Food-Grade Materials: 304 stainless steel platform and anti-corrosion treatment meet hygiene standards
- Precise Control: 1350mm optimal feeding height with 110-degree turning angle minimizes material loss
- Safety Assurance: Dual safety pin design ensures stable and secure turning process
- Integrated Design: Combined power unit and electrical cabinet eliminate safety hazards from external piping
- High Load Capacity: 2000kg capacity meets mass production requirements
