Nimo-KG C3-SE/C4 Single Column Dumper

The Nimo-KG C3 Column Dumper machine (SKV 300 C3) is designed to empty standard DIN9797 200- or 300-liter meat carts, trolleys or buggies when the Backsaver NT/NTLT tipper’s dumping height is insufficient. The C3 Backsaver is available in different heights, between 1150 & 3250mm. The machine can be equipped with an adjustable dumping height on the column which allows the discharge height range to be set at 500mm difference in steps of 50mm.

The Column dumper is perfect for dumping trolleys in high buffers, mixers, tanks etc. without having the employee(s) to reach overhead or to walk up and down a stairs/ using a platform. This results in healthier & happier employees, reduction of risks such as back pain, strain and injuries, which improves the efficiency of the production process.

Improved process: Buggy handling as easy as it gets

Backsavers and Nimo-KG lifts are simple, easy-to-use machines that enhance production and reduce the risk of workplace injury. The control unit is placed on the column itself and the lifter can be operated by pressing the hold-to-run up- or down-button.

It can be easily integrated into a process line to discharge buggies into a high conveyor, buffer or a screw conveyor’s hopper for example. The standard Column Dumper is a fixed/static system.

Optional the Column Dumper can be delivered with a mobile undercariage to make it mobile and deployable anywhere in your facility.

Fixed power connection

Unlike our other Backsaver models, the Nimo-KG Single Column Dumper is standard powered by a fixed power connection. The reason for a fixed power connection with the Column Dumper is that these models will be mainly used as a fixed dumper and can be optionally used in different spots when equipped with the mobile carriage. The benefit with the fixed power supply is that this machine can run 24h/day, 7 days a week.

Operational safety: Hold-to-run up-& down-button to control the movement.

Unlike Backsavers, this machine is driven by an electrical motor in combination with a chain. Discharging & lowering the Buggy can be easily done by pressing the hold-to-run Up- or Down-button on the control box .

The reason for this usage is to avoid people getting trapped or hit by the column dumpers movement with an automated system, the operator must be within the machine operating space at all times when operating the the machine.

With a discharge height of 2500mm and above we need to switch to the C4 base model to avoid torsion issues and a safety fence around the machine will become mandatory.
An upgrade to a bigger double column lift like the Nimo-KG SKV 200 MK2 is a possible upgrade with high weights and preferable autonomous position.

Hygiene and food safety

Backsavers and Nimo-KG lifts are developed mainly for the food industry. They are safe to operate and suitable for direct contact with food products. The durable and hygienic design of these machines provide the possibility to clean with high pressure water beams (Mostly IP56).
