Barrel tipper Backsaver BRL

The Backsaver BRL tipping machine is designed for emptying barrels, drums or cylinder-shaped containers.

Improved process: Backsavers for easier food-processing operations

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, thus eliminating all the extra walking around the machine to operate it, reducing downtime and making it a very popular solution at food-processing facilities.

Health and enhanced productivity

A barrel of product (intestines, vegetables, pickled food products, sauces or other ingredients) is slid onto the tipper’s platform and moved around the facility to the location where it has to be emptied. The load is then tipped in a 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 regardless of the power-supply location. 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 30 tons of products.

Operational safety: Gravity used for downward movement

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 perfect for the food industry

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. BRL has been engineered, designed and manufactured in the Netherlands since early 2003.
