MUCKI Tipping Devices
Our MUCKI tipping devices are directly driven systems designed for the safe and controlled emptying of containers at low to medium discharge heights. Thanks to their particularly robust design and modular construction, the tipping devices can be flexibly adapted to a wide range of process environments and container types.
Whether used for feeding conveyors, packaging systems, belt conveyors, or shredders – these tipping devices provide a reliable and ergonomic solution for container handling. Intelligent options such as container clamping or side loading also allow for the seamless integration of demanding automation concepts.
FUNcTION
JOEST tipping devices are designed for the controlled emptying of containers at low to medium discharge heights.
The containers to be emptied are placed in a rugged load-handling attachment, where they are secured either actively or passively. Depending on the configuration, the tipping motion is driven by an electric or hydraulic system, which allows for stepless and precise control of the tipping angle – up to 180°.
Thanks to the flexible container interface, a wide range of container types can be handled – from mesh boxes and laundry carts to custom containers. The units can be loaded from the front or the side, and integration with AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), or conveyor systems is also possible.
MUCKI tipping devices stand out for their compact design, high load capacity, and long service life. Optional features include drop height limitation, damped tipping motion, or the direct connection of downstream systems such as chutes, hoppers, or vibratory feeders. This makes them ideal for ergonomic and safe emptying across a broad range of industrial applications.

Equipment Options
Tipping angle up to 180 degrees – steplessly adjustable
Depending on the application, the tipping angle can be flexibly adjusted – from shallow discharge angles to full overhead emptying.
Front or side loading possible
The loading direction can be flexibly adapted to suit system layout and space requirements – also compatible with AGV or conveyor technology.
Funnels or chutes can be integrated
Closed discharge systems such as funnels, chutes, or enclosures can be added as needed.
Gentle tipping motion with drop height damping
For sensitive products or noise-sensitive areas, the tipping motion can be dampened to reduce impact and material discharge.
Automatic locking and position monitoring
Sensor-monitored locking and end-position control increase safety and automation potential during operation.
Stainless steel and ATEX-compliant versions available on request
Certified stainless steel and explosion-proof variants are available for hygienically sensitive or hazardous environments.
