Operator’s Manual for Morse Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer Model 520-115
Serial Number 249855 to ______
Machine Description
The Model 520-115 Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer will pour a drum at up to 106”
(269 cm) high, measured from the floor to the lowest point of a horizontal
drum. It is designed to lift, transport, and dispense a ribbed 55-gallon (210
liter) steel drum 22.5” (57 cm) in diameter, as well as a fiber drum between 22”
and 23.5” (56 to 59.7 cm) in diameter. The maximum full-drum capacity is 800
Lb. (363 kg). The capacity is derated to 500 Lb. (227 kg) for a half-full drum.
The half-full rating is based on the tilt mechanism’s capacity for handling an
unbalanced bottom-heavy drum.
Options
A smaller diameter drum can be handled with the correct size 55/30
•
Series Diameter Adaptor installed (see
Diameter Adaptor literature
).
The
•
Bracket Assembly
(Part # 4556-P) is
required
to handle a plastic
drum without a top rim (see figure 2.1). It is also recommended to more
securely handle a fiber drum. You can use the Bracket Assembly with
a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic, steel or fiber drum. The brace at top and
bottom of the drum prevent it from slipping lengthways through the drum
holder. It adjusts for a drum 31” to 39” (79 to 99 cm) tall.
The
•
Top Rim Clamp
(Part # 4560-P) grips the upper rim of your drum
to prevent it from slipping through the drum holder (see figure 2.2). To
handle a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic drum with top rim, you
must
install
either the Bracket Assembly or the Top Rim Clamp. You can use the Top
Rim Clamp with a 55-gallon (210 liter) plastic, steel or fiber drum with
suitable top rim.
Machine Unpacking
