Drum Cones

Drum Cones to control dispensing of dry material from your drum
(Model # 5-IV-45-23 shown)

Replace your drum lid with a properly sized Drum Cone to control
your dispensing operation by turning your drum into a precise
pouring instrument. Morse Drum Cones are available in
16 gauge carbon steel or type 304 stainless steel.
Clamp Collars are also available in carbon steel
or type 304 stainless steel.

  • Use your drum for controlled pouring
  • Greatly reduce dust when discharging dry material
  • Quickly start and stop dispensing instantly with slide gate or iris valve through 6" (15.24 cm) discharge opening
  • Extend the reach of pour
  • Models for open-head steel drums and fiber drums of various diameters
  • Order 45 or 60 degree angle drum cone, or asymmetric drum cone with off center discharge opening
  • Cones available for drum diameters from 15-7/8" to 23-3/8" (40.3 to 59.4 cm)

Attaching a Morse drum cone with a valve to your drum allows you to start and stop product flow,
and extends the reach of the pour by up to 15.5" (39.4 cm). This can be critical when you need to
reach beyond obstructions at the receiving container.

Drum Cones
 for use with
Vertical-Lift Drum Pourers
Hydra-Lift Karriers
Fork-Lift Karriers

Morse Drum Cones are designed for controlled dispensing of dry powdered or granulated material and to reduce dust while discharging. Dispensing can be stopped almost instantly with a slide gate or iris valve.

Applications for
Drum Cones

Drum Cones and Clamp Collars are ideal for use with several different Morse drum handlers. Stainless steel drum cone with an iris valve (Model 5SS-IV-45-23) is shown above on a fiber drum being lifted with Model 520-114 Vertical-Lift Drum Pourer. Drum Cones can be used with all Morse Vertical-Lift Drum Pourers, Fork-Lift Karriers, and also with Hydra-Lift Karriers.

Special Below-Hook Kontrol-Karriers are available with longer arms to provide the increased clearance required for rotating a drum with cone attached.

Valve Types
Choose the type of valve best for your application depending on the type of product you dispense.

The operator revolves the handle around the valve to open and close the flexible sleeve up to a 6" (15.24 cm) diameter opening. A wide range of fine to coarse materials can be handled without clogging the iris valve.

Iris Valves are for use with products having a maximum density of 60 Lb./ft3.
Valve Flange (VF)

Drum Cones are available with a Valve Flange to attach the valve of your choice. Please refer to the flange bolt hole pattern to ensure your valve will fit a Morse Drum Cone.
