Pot Tipping and Pouring on a 200 kg Steel Rail

FullSharp installed a ceiling-mounted 200 kg steel rail with an electric hoist and a pot-tipping tool at a mixing area where two or three people used to carry and tip pots into a tank. The pot is clamped, lifted and tipped gradually, while the operator stands well back and controls everything from a pendant.

Pouring material by hand is both heavy and dangerous: two workers carry the pot up to the tank opening while a third holds it steady, tipping it little by little. One slip of the hands and the material spills out, risking burns or chemical exposure for anyone standing nearby.

FullSharp installed a 200 kg steel rail on the ceiling, carrying an electric hoist and a pot-tipping tool. The pot is clamped firmly, lifted, and tipped gradually through a rotating mechanism, while the operator stands at a distance and controls it with a pendant.

Equipment Installed

200 kg steel rail: hung from the ceiling on threaded rods, running from the pot storage area to the mixing tank opening.
Electric hoist: raises and lowers the pot at the push of a button, with a brake that holds firmly at the pouring height.
Pot-tipping tool: clamps around the rim of the pot and rotates it with controlled tipping, stopping at whatever angle is needed.
Control pendant: groups the lift, lower, and tilt buttons in one place, letting the operator stand outside the pouring zone.

Benefits for Your Facility

Safer pouring

The operator stands well away from the tank opening, with no need to hold the pot by hand.

Accurate pouring

Gradual tilting that stops at the desired angle means far less spillage.

One less worker needed

A single person now does a job that used to take two or three.

Frequently asked questions

How do you pour from a heavy pot without spilling?

A pot-tipping tool clamps around the rim and rotates the pot gradually, stopping at whatever angle is needed. Controlled tilting means far less spillage than tipping by hand.

Where does the operator stand during pouring?

Away from the tank opening. Lift, lower and tilt buttons are grouped on one pendant, so the operator stays outside the pouring zone.

How many workers does this save?

A single person now does a job that used to take two or three. The hoist brake holds the pot firmly at the pouring height.

Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp measures the pot's diameter and full weight, along with the height of the tank opening you need to pour into. We build a clamping tool to fit your pot's rim, install the rail line to match your layout, and test it before handing over.
