Machine Description
The Morse 310-CE Series CE Marked Tilt-To-Load Drum Rotators are designed to receive an upright steel, plastic or fiber drum at floor
level, hydraulically tilt up to clear the floor, and rotate the drum “corner-over-corner” between 4 and 16 RPM. The maximum full drum
capacity is 363 kg (800 Lb.). Capacity is derated to 181 kg (400 Lb.) for a half-full drum. Half-full Capacity is an indication of the capacity
for tilting a bottom-heavy drum. A partially full drum with an unbalanced and shifting load is harder to tilt than a full drum.
Controls
There are two powered functions for
the operator to control. Each function
is controlled separately by levers
mounted on the control station (shown
right).
The “TILT” function, for vertical
1.
positioning of the drum holder. The
lever on the right side is the “TILT”
control valve. Raising the lever
causes the drum holder to rise.
Lowering the lever will lower the
drum holder.
The “ROLL” function, or the
2.
rotation of the drum holder. The
lever on the left side is the “ROLL”
control valve. Raising this lever
causes the drum holder to rotate.
Lowering the lever away from the
operator will stop the drum holder
from rotating. The rotation speed
can be varied with the flow control
valve (item 13 on page 9). Turn
the valve clockwise to increase
speed up to a nominal 16 RPM,
counterclockwise to decrease
speed down to a nominal 4 RPM.
Drum Holder
The drum holder is the component on the CE Marked Tilt-To-Load Drum Rotator that securely holds the drum for rotating. The drum
holder features the web strap and ratchet mechanism for tightening the drum at the middle and two top clamps for holding the drum end-
to-end.
