The AN tippers are hydraulically driven by a 62kW diesel powered hydraulic power source designed and manufactured by Olitek. The specifications include full fluid bunding, E-Stops and safety interlocks integrated between the tipping controls and hydraulic power unit.

The controls comprise of 2 easy to use operator control consoles (one for each tipper) that allow the safe control of 4 functions.

1. Tipping,
2. Container Vibration to dislodge sticky prill
3. Auger start/stop and direction
4. Container lock down control and monitoring

The system has been designed with interlocks to ensure the equipment cannot put the operator or equipment in danger due to incorrect functions being operated at the wrong time.

1. The ability to raise/lower a shipping container filled with AN for the purpose of pouring AN from the container into a tubeveyor / auger.
2. Vibrate the tipping frame & container to ensure the smooth flow of AN.
3. The ability to operate the auger in a continually forward motion to propel the AN into a tubeveyor / auger from each container or reverse direction momentarily for any blockages.
4. Safety indications such as Tipper Home Position and Tipper Clamped indication.
5. Safety interlocks such as raise/lower interlocks based upon clamping.
6. Key safety systems such as an emergency stop shutdown and an operator dead-man switch.
