Drum Cones

to control dispensing of
dry material from your drum

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
and Clamp Collars are 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
• Extend the reach of pour
• Models for open-head steel drums and fiber drums of various diameters
• Order 45 or 60 degree angle to 6" discharge opening
• Cones available for drum diameters from 15-7/8" to 23-3/8"

Attaching a Morse drum cone to your drum extends the reach of the pour by up to 15.5”. This can be critical when you need to reach beyond obstructions at the receiving container.

Valve Types

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

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 series of 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 500 Series Vertical-Lift Drum Pourers, 285 Series Fork-Lift Karriers, and also with 400 Series Hydra-Lift Karriers.

Special 185 Series Below-Hook Kontrol-Karriers are available with longer arms to provide the increased clearance required for rotating a drum with cone attached.

Drum Cones equipped with a Slide Gate are recommended for powdered material, but NOT for coarse granulated products.

Drum Cones with an Iris Valve are recommended for dispensing fine or coarse materials.

Iris Valve with aluminum body and 4 oz nylon sleeve for controlling the flow of fine and coarse materials. The operator revolves the handle around the valve to open and close the flexible sleeve. 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.

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.

Model 5-VF-60-23 is shown here.

Drum Cones are also available with a 6" diameter opening with no valve or flange.

Use a Clamp Collar to secure the cone in position on the top of your drum.

NOTE: When ordering cones or clamp collars, please specify the outside diameter of the top drum rim. Remove the drum lid and take several measurements across the rim at various points and calculate the average.
