Tong infeed unloaders are lined with rubber ‘soft-landing’ at the infeed section for the gentlest receiving and handling of crop.

All Tong infeed unloaders can be specified as a completely mobile unloader unit. Built upon a heavy duty chassis with robust 12.5 x 18 road wheels and removable heavy duty tow bar if required.

Tong’s rear infeed unlaoders offer the perfect unloader solution for intake of product from bulker lorries, trailers or similar. Fitted with flexible rubber seals, Tong’s end feeding unloaders create a seal between the unloader and the trailer during product transfer, to ensure no spillage. With a standard rear entry width of 3.1m, the Tong end tipping unloader can be manufactured with a choice of 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2100mm and 2400mm wide belts, depending on your throughput requirements.

Also referred to as a ‘rise and fall’ unloaders, Tong manufactures a range of even flow unloaders. Designed to offer a controlled ‘buffer’ holding capacity at the infeed of the handling line, ensuring a continuous and steady flow of crop at all times. Ideal in situations where the vegetable handling line requires a constant feed of crop, the even flow unloader is often used when feeding specialist weighing and packing equipment. Offering maximum flexibility and throughput. The conveyor in the unloader starts in an ‘up’ position, and as it is fed, the conveyor lowers to create the holding capacity. Once the conveyor starts moving, the belt rises to feed crop onto the line. The even flow unloader is integrated with the vegetable handling line’s controls, and a sensor controls the infeed to the line as it is required. Maintaining a continuous feed of crop.

Tong offers a custom built unloader solution to suit all handling requirements, including high capacity infeed unloader to feed bulk materials safely and effectively. Whatever your handling need, Tong can design a unloader that will perform in the most demanding situations with high capacities and heavy duty operation.

Tong wet unloaders ensure an exceptionally gentle reception of crop at high throughputs. Suitable for the infeed of dirty or clean vegetables including potatoes, carrots, parsnips, swedes and more. Tong wet unloaders receive crop carefully and transfer it onto an outfeed web piler where crop is drained as it exits the unloader. Wet infeed unloaders are popularly specified in packhouse environments as the presence of water means that excess debris, soil and sand separates from the crop within the unloader. Giving the crop a light soaking action, which can be enhanced when crop is left to ‘soak’ in the tank for longer dwelling times. All debris from the crop is then easily removed from the tank via the wet unloader’s dump valves. With the option of an integrated tank auger for even more effective accumulation and removal of soil and debris.

For situations where the unloader needs to be transported, often in areas where space is tight or narrow. Tong’s foldable side unloader offers robust design, with optimum mobility.
