Unit featured both "AUTOMATIC" and "MANUAL" modes of operation with status indicator lights. In manual mode, controls were "dead-man" type, requiring the operator to push and hold buttons for operation. In "AUTO" mode, PLC controls enabled the user to load the drum, depress and release a "RAISE CYCLE" button, the unit would seal drum to the pour cone, lift and rotate drum, seal the discharge nozzle against the receiving vessel, and open the valve to discharge the material. A single push of the "LOWER CYCLE" button would close the valve and bring the drum back to the "unloading position. The control enclosure included an Allen-Bradley fused lockable disconnect.
