The CMP sanitary captive style tote dumper can be designed for fork lift loading. The captive style design is used to minimize debris carry over from the pallet during the dump process. Debris and FM include screws, knots, broken pallet pieces, etc. The Captive Style Tote Dumper design is equipped with a hydraulically powered lifting floor that elevates the tote once placed on the unit to seal the lip of the totes to the top rim of the unit. This prevents debris from the pallet or outside of the tote from contaminating the product during the dump. The use of fasteners has been minimized with fully welded construction and all welds are cleaned to eliminate possible harborage points.
