Automated Truck Tipping Device for a Global Chemical Industry Leader

Industry: Chemical Manufacturing

Region: Guangzhou, China

Service: Design and Manufacture – Automated Truck Tipping Device

Overview

CNIM Asia designed and manufactured an automated truck tipping device for a leading global chemical industry company located in Guangzhou. This device was essential for unloading raw materials in the form of small particles, which are shipped by container to the company’s air-powered material conveying system.

Challenge

The customer required an efficient solution to unload lightweight raw materials from containers, leveraging gravity to facilitate the process. The system needed to replace traditional small bag and big bag methods, which are labor-intensive and costly. Key project requirements included:

• Container Compatibility: The device needed to handle both 20 and 40 feet containers.

• Ease of Operation: Ensuring the system was user-friendly.

• Fast Unloading: Maximizing unloading speed to enhance productivity.

• Enclosed Dumping: Preventing pollution and containing the materials during unloading.
