Drum Tumblers

Drum tumblers provide vigorous & homogenous corner-over-corner mixing of ingredients like granules, coarse pellets, powders, thick liquids & wet grains. Morse drum tumblers are ideal for tumbling a steel, plastic or fibre drum at speeds ranging from 2 to 20 RPM. These drum tumblers ensure user safety by reducing the risk of contamination and reducing worker exposure to hazardous components.
Morse 309 Series universal drum tumblers are ideal for tumbling steel, plastic or fibre drums at 14 RPM speed and are powered by an explosion-proof, 1 HP, single-phase electric motor operating at 230 / 400V, 50 Hz. They are rated for Class I Group D and Class II Groups F & G for user safety. These universal tumblers are capable of tilting mixed ingredients weighing up to 400 lb & 800 lb for half drum & full drum, respectively. They come equipped with a web strap, two top clamps & a ratchet around the drum for securing the drum in the holder.

Uses

Drum tumblers are used in the food & chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical food & chemical industries to rotate a steel, plastic or fibre drum corner-over-corner for vigorous mixing of drum contents like granules, powders, thick liquids, coarse pellets or wet grains.

Features

  • Morse drum tumblers feature vigorous corner-over-corner mixing of ingredients like powders, thick liquids, granules, coarse pellets or wet grains.
  • These drum tumblers provide homogenised, stratified layers and prevent sediment formation at the bottom of the drum.
  • Morse drum tumblers are designed for tumbling steel, plastic or fiber drums at 14 RPM (for fixed speed models) and offer speeds ranging from 2 to 20 RPM (for variable speed models).
  • These drum tumblers ensure user safety by reducing worker exposure to hazardous components and minimising the risk of contamination.
  • Morse drum tumblers are powered by an explosion-proof, 1 HP, single phase electric motor operating at 230 / 400V, 50 Hz. They are rated for Class I Group D, and Class II Groups F & G, for added safety.
  • They require a crane and a Morse below-hook drum lifter to load an upright drum and come equipped with a web strap, two top clamps and a ratchet around the drum for securing the drum in the holder.
  • Morse drum tumblers are capable of tilting mixed ingredients weighing up to 800 lb and 400 lb for a full drum and a half drum, respectively.

Working Mechanism

Drum tumblers provide a greater shaking motion compared to simply rolling a drum. They facilitate the free movement of contents from one end of the drum to the other during agitation. Unlike drum rollers, drum tumblers are large, stationary machines. These drum tumblers come in two styles, ensuring thorough mixing of contents to put valuable ingredients back into the suspension within the drum. Tilt-to-load drum tumblers feature corner-over-corner tumbling action achieved via an ergonomic power-lift for drum rotation, while end-over-end drum tumblers hold the drum at the centre and spin the drum end over end.

Standards and Approvals

  • Morse drum tumblers should be installed in accordance with OSHA subpart O.1910.212 standards to deliver high quality service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to power Morse 309-E3-50 universal drum tumblers?

Morse 309-E3-50 universal drum tumbler is powered by an explosion-proof, 1 HP, single phase electric motor operating at 230 / 400V, 50 Hz. It is rated for Class I Group D and Class II Groups F & G for added safety.

What does the half-full capacity rating mean in a Morse drum tumbler?

The half-full rating of a drum handler signifies the capacity for tilting an unbalanced, bottom-heavy drum. For example, the capacity of a Morse Hydra-Lift Drum Karrier is 800 lb (363 kg) for a full drum but reduces to 500 lb (227 kg) for a half-full drum.

What other variants of Morse Drum Tumbler are available on Raptor Supplies?

Raptor Supplies offers 309 Series Universal Drum Tumblers, 310 Series Tilt-to-Load Drum Tumblers and 311 Series Tilt-to-Load Drum Tumblers to accommodate a fibre, steel or plastic drum having heights ranging from 29 to 37 inches and diameters between 18 & 23.5 inches.

What safety precautions do we take while drum handling?

Heavy drums must be moved with the proper drum equipment, specifically designed for their handling to prevent serious injury, drum damage and wastage of valuable contents or contamination of the environment. All users who handle drums must be trained to use drum equipment.

What is the difference between a Morse drum roller and a Morse drum tumbler?

Drum tumblers are used to vigorously mix drum content, usually viscous or easy-settling fluids, coarse pellets, wet grains or powder. These units feature heavy stationary feet and, therefore, require moving of the drums for mixing. Drum rollers, on the other hand, are lightweight and mix the content more safely by holding the drums in place and turning them on rollers. These drum rollers are easily movable and can be transported to the exact mixing location.

What accessories are available for Morse 309-E3-50 universal drum tumblers?

Following accessories are compatible with Morse 309-E3-50 universal drum tumbler:
  • Morse CP-309-E3-400-50: These explosion proof control boxes are used with Morse 309-E3-50 universal drum tumblers to prevent damage caused by ignition or explosion.
  • Morse 92 Series below-hook barrel lifters: These drum lifters are designed to lift & transport plastic, cardboard, fibre and rimmed-steel drums. They feature self-adjusting, tong-like action for automatic gripping while placing 30-gallon drums into 55-gallon lifters or 55-gallon drums into 85-gallon lifters. Slim-profile grippers allow lowering a drum into a salvage or an overpack drum.

What drum handling safety tips are recommended for users while operating Morse drum tumblers?

Following safety tips are recommended for handling drum tumblers:
  • Heavy drums should be handled with proper handling equipment. Use below hook drum lifters, drum trucks or forklift attachments specifically designed for drum handling.
  • A full 55-gallon drum weighs over 2000 lb. When being moved, the drum's content may shift inside, thereby making the barrel / drum difficult to handle / control or even dangerous. Drum lifters should be chosen depending upon the load handling capacity.
  • Conditions such as uneven or slippery floors and restricted spaces can entail greater risks. Drums made of plastic or fibre should be handled with utmost care in such situations.
  • Moving a drum using a forklift truck should be done with care. Forklift blades can easily pierce through the drum and can cause spillage of valuable / hazardous contents.
  • Drum rollers are shipped without a switch, cord or plug. Customers should get them installed by an electrician according to local codes and work requirements.
  • The units should be kept away from an area having heavy foot traffic to prevent intrusion or injury while the power is ON.
  • The drums should be loaded & unloaded from the drum roller by ensuring secure footing and a firm hold.
  • It is recommended to use safety shoes, work gloves, hard hats and other personnel protection equipment while operating the drum roller.
  • Its pillow block bearings & drive chains should be greased using a multiservice lubricant every 6 - 12 months in an ordinary environment or monthly in dirty conditions.
