205-Litre Drum Tumbler Electric (ATEX/UKEX)

All of our STS drum lifters have been designed to easily load and unload the end-over-end drum tumbler. If you have a forklift drum attachment this can also be used providing it fits within the mixer cage. The base plate of the mixer head is 330mm from the ground and therefore it is important to ensure that any lifting equipment has sufficient lift height and is both safe and ergonomic to use.

To comply with the EU Machinery Directive our drum tumblers are manufactured with a complete guarding arrangement as standard. The guarding fully surrounds the unit and prevents operators from accessing the machinery during mixing. Guarding is a mandatory requirement and is an important consideration when purchasing a new piece of machinery.

The drum securing arrangement is suitable for steel, plastic, and fibreboard drums with heights from 860-1010mm. If your company handles drums not shown in our photos or videos get in touch and we can advise further on the compatibility with different drum types. Additionally, if you have any smaller drums we can offer a small drum adapter (SDA01) as mentioned below.

Customers always need to consider whether or not their drums are suitable for use in a zoned hazardous environment. Steel drums can easily be checked for conductivity whereas plastic and fibreboard drums may need to be made from specialist materials to ensure safety and compliance.

Hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheres require operators to use zoned ATEX / UKEX equipment. Having assisted numerous companies in a variety of sectors with the handling of flammable materials, we understand different requirements and can offer an 'Ex' rated drum tumbler to suit.

Our electric drum tumblers can be supplied ATEX / UKEX-compliant, suitable for use in zones 1, 2, 21 and 22. Please specify your ATEX / UKEX classification requirements so we can ensure we can offer a compatible solution. Each of our 'Ex' rated tumblers is manufactured to ensure electrical continuity, and a path to ground is always present. Each piece of equipment is supplied with a manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity which demonstrates compliance with the directives and relevant British and ISO Standards.
