Most Efficient Tipper In the Industry

At Micromatic, we pride ourselves on being the leader of efficiency in the tipping industry. This achievement is attributed to our high-efficiency actuators, which not only minimize frictional forces but also reduce pressure requirements for lifting loads.


The result? Lower engine RPM, decreased fuel consumption, and minimal wear and tear – lower pressure to lift means more efficiency and lower cost of ownership.

Heavy Duty Steel Hooks vs Risky Latch Springs

While many competitors opt for latch springs in their tippers, Micromatic takes a different approach with the use of heavy-duty hooks, specifically in our ROTAC® tippers. Unlike latch springs prone to wear and tear, our heavy-duty hooks feature a robust design with built-in hard stops, reducing latching stress. With no springs in our tipper design, concerns about fatigue parts and changing forces are eliminated. The durability of our hooks ensures reliability during the tipping process, enhancing both safety and efficiency.


Rotary Vane Actuator vs Helical Actuator

In the world of actuators, the choice between helical and rotary vane is crucial. Competitors may opt for helical actuators, but Micromatic embraces the simplicity and efficiency of rotary vane actuators. Our design boasts only one moving part, a self-contained structure, and zero metal-to-metal contact, avoiding internal debris that can compromise seals. The rotary vane actuators deliver the highest torque output at standard operating pressure, available in various models catering to both pneumatic and hydraulic capabilities. ROTAC® Tippers uses a simple, industry proven actuator designed specifically for the waste industry and the harsh conditions it is required to operate in (rotary vane actuator shown below).
