The tipper is used to empty the bins where the olives are stored. It is equipped with a hydraulic control unit that drives a piston that allows emptying into the charge hopper of the installation.
FAQ Tipper
What is the OMT tipper for?
The tipper is an accessory component used to empty the bins in which the olives are stored before processing. It lifts and rotates the bin to discharge the olives directly into the system's feed hopper, automating an operation that would otherwise be manual and strenuous.
How does the tipper work mechanically?
The tipper is fitted with a hydraulic power unit that operates a hydraulic piston. The piston lifts and tips the bin containing the olives, allowing it to be emptied in a controlled way into the system hopper. The movement is adjustable to avoid impacts and damage to the olives during transfer.
Is the tipper compatible with all types of bins?
The tipper is designed for the standard bins used in olive harvesting. For particular bin sizes or types (custom formats, specific materials), it is best to ask OMT for technical advice to check compatibility or for dedicated solutions.
Is the tipper included in the standard system packages?
The tipper is classified in the accessories category (Accessories, Filtering and Waste) and is generally supplied as an optional component. For systems handling large volumes of olives in bins, the tipper is particularly recommended to optimise hopper loading times.
What are the advantages of using an automatic tipper compared with manual loading?
Reduced hopper-loading times, reduced physical effort for operators, a lower risk of damaging the olives during discharge, better continuity of system feeding and greater overall productivity of the business during the olive harvest.
