Simpro Handling Equipment
Options and Accessories
Standards & Compliance
All Simpro machines can be specified to meet international standards for machinery safety, including ISO 12100 and AS/NZS4024 up to Cat4/PLd. This may involve additional features such as a programmable control unit, Emergency Stop buttons and uprated circuitry
Compressed Air Power
Machines that are to be used in hazardous or explosive environments may be supplied with a compressed-air power system, eliminating potential ignition hazards. A compressed-air supply of 0.7MPa or more is required.
Custom Cradles
A range of custom cradles and attachments are available to allow handling virtually any commercially-available bin, box, drum, carton, crate, mixing bowl or container, up to maximum dimensions of 1200 x 1200 x 1200mm.
Custom Doors
Machines with cage guarding can be supplied with a left hinge door, right-hinge door, swing-up door or roller door.
Swing-up doors and roller doors take up less space, but are more complex and may require additional maintenance.
Custom Tipping Chutes
Frame-mounted tipping chutes are available for operation where the machine cannot be placed right against the skip or hopper. The chutes are easily attached, and can be folded up out of the way when not in use.
316 Grade Steel Construction
All machines can be fully or partially constructed from 316 grade stainless steel, with molybdenum alloys for additional corrosion resistance, suitable for use in extremely acidic or basic environments.
Corrosion-resistant fittings and lifting chains are also available.
Polycarbonate Guarding Panels
Unbreakable transparent polycarbonate guarding can be supplied in place of the standard mesh guarding. A polycarbonate operator guard panel (splash shield) can also be fitted adjacent to the controls, to protect the operator when tipping liquids.
Auto-Cycle Operation
Machines wth cage guarding may be supplied with an auto-cycle controller, allowing the operator to move away while tipping.
A digital control unit (PLC) is also available, allowing complex programmable behaviours.
Custom Controls
Operator controls can be fitted anywhere on the machine, on pendants, or in remote locations, to suit layout, productivity or safety requirements.
Dual-hand controls are available, to prevent operators from carrying out other interactions while using the machine.
Other Options
- Digital scales: accurately weigh product as it is lifted.
- Custom guards: foot-guard panels, front-guard panels, etc.
- Custom design and engineering: solutions for unique bin lifting and tipping requirements.
