Phelps Industries, Inc. products

Phelps Industries, Inc. offers tilters that can be designed to either load or unload 20 to 40 foot intermodal containers. These can be set up to work with flatbed trailers or a transfer car rail system. The bulkhead retainer, with or without a discharge manifold, can be used to interface with your takeaway system. Our systems are not a “one size fits all”. We will modify our equipment to suit your systems and materials handled. Tilters can be set up to elevate from 30 degrees to 65 degrees. Phelps’ tilters may be permanently affixed to a concrete foundation or equipped with a sub-frame for semi-portable operation on a concrete slab. Tilters may be equipped with a scale system for continuous weighing. Bulk loads delivered in intermodal containers are a step to the future, and we’re here to help.

Phelps Industries developed the Corn Hopper to handle bulk deliveries of raw corn from self-dumping trucks. This receiving hopper is available in a variety of holding capacities and discharge rates. It can be custom built to suit your receiving tonnage and unloading needs. A hydraulically operated reciprocating floor moves the corn to your current conveying system. This transport system provides easy viewing, a clean surface and an efficient mode of bulk unloading. A Phelps Corn Hopper can improve working conditions, increase production, and save time and labor. Production and profits increase because of a faster trip time obtained by trucks to and from the plant. Therefore, plant efficiency is improved due to a steady flow of material, quicker unloading, and less spillage of the product.
