Tote Systems
Tote® Blenders are an integral module in the Tote® material handling process. They are unmatched in quality and known for their ability to achieve high blend uniformity in a short period of time. Our idea is clear and effective. The same Tote® container that is used throughout the entire manufacturing process also serves as the blending unit. This eliminates cross contamination, costly product change-over times and blender cleaning and preparation. Tote® Blenders also greatly reduce the potential of segregation by eliminating material transfers from container to blender and back to container.
TOTE® Discharge Stations are the foundations for bulk contained product transfer from our containers to destination. These units usually feed equipment such as tablet presses, encapsulators, process vessels, granulators and mills. Many options are available for automation, segregation prevention or metered output.
TOTE® Discharge Stations are an integral part of the TOTE® Side Door Bin system. The TOTE® "Tilt Station" is used to transfer product from the TOTE® Side Door Bin by gravity into a transition hopper which can be equipped with a screw conveyor, vibratory feeder, vacuum conveying system or other material handling devices. The process can be accomplished completely automated or manually by an operator. The TOTE® Tilt Station can be manufactured to many regulated specifications including FDA and USDA/3A.
Difficult to flow products are handled with simplicity with the use of the large receiver hopper on the TOTE® Tilt Station.
Considering that there are hundreds of thousands of TOTE® containers in use today, it's not surprising that our Side Door Bin is the number one intermediate bulk handling container in the industry. Our extremely efficient patent pending door design (invented by TOTE® in 1946) has been utilized in virtually every conceivable bulk handling situation. The most common examples include pharmaceutical, food, plastics, chemicals and so many more. The unique design of our door allows even the stickiest of materials to discharge quickly and completely.
TOTE® containers are the center component of the TOTE® material handling system. Our containers were the first, and to this day remain unsurpassed in their ability to efficiently transport and contain bulk materials. Each container integrates perfectly into the manufacturing process. TOTE® containers are by far the most efficient method of transporting bulk product through your manufacturing process. With increased speed and a reduction in labor, TOTE® containers are a tremendous asset to any bulk handling facility. One TOTE® container has the same capacity as 20 fiber drums. They can also be used for blending and off-line storage as well as over-the-road transportation by truck or rail.
TOTE® Systems Premier Line Bins are the best we have to offer. Meeting or exceeding cGMP standards, they are manufactured exclusively with vertical weld seams which reduce sanitation concerns and promote improved product flow. TOTE® bins are an efficient, cost effective method of handling dry solids. The ability to dose, store, blend, transport and discharge from a sealed container minimizes cross contamination, reduces operator exposure and helps maintain batch integrity and control.
