Hand ^aakina frc^ bulk bins: Four storages in Peru were hand pack- 

 ing from bulk bins. Each operation was somewhat diffe>^ent, but 

 each grower was attempting to make the operation as efficient as 

 possible. In 3 packing sheds, the bulk bins are set on frames which 

 can be rotated by the packers. The frames may be stationary or on 

 rollers. When the frame is stationary, it is necessary to allow 

 room between the packing station and the bin so that the bulk bin 

 can be turned. As a result, the cartcns dre farther from the bins. 

 When the frame is on rollers, it can be pushed away from the pack- 

 ing station, the bin turned and then returned to its original loca- 

 tion. 



Grower- fabricated bulk bin dumpers: Both Vito Truncal i, Marlboro, 

 and Michael Lembo, Modena, have designed and constructed their own 

 bulk bin dumpers. The dumper constructed by Mr. Truncali sets at 

 floor level and can be operated in a room with a 9-foot ceiling. 

 A bin of apples is set on a lift with roller sections in front of 

 the tank. When the bin in the tank is empty, this bin and the full 

 bin are hydraul i cal ly lifted simultaneously. The full bin is pushed 

 onto the roller section occupied by the empty bin. The empty box 

 slides onto another roller section where it remains until drained. 

 The empty bin is then turned, pulled onto rails and allowed to 

 slide to the floor.
