Ibc post hoists for pharmaceutical manufacturing
Ensure precise material handling with advanced lifting solutions designed for seamless integration into pharmaceutical production lines, enhancing operational control and safety.
Lifts, Docks, and Blends Pharmaceutical Materials
The GEA Post Hoist offers a comprehensive solution for pharmaceutical manufacturers handling sensitive materials. This versatile lifting system employs a robust rack and pinion mechanism, designed to carry up to four times its working load, ensuring reliable and safe operation. Specializing in the lifting, docking, and blending of powders and granules, it facilitates processes such as IBC inverting and weighing.
Typically utilized in the production of antibiotic granules, pain relief, and oncology tablets, as well as vaccine powdered ingredients, the IBC Post Hoist excels in challenging environments. With options for manual or electrically driven slewing, it provides flexible integration into continuous or batch processing lines. Engineered with a user-friendly control interface, including Siemens or Allen Bradley PLC/HMI systems, it supports sophisticated control needs and variable speed operation.
The IBC Post Hoist’s all-electric, braked motor eliminates hydraulic issues, aligning with GMP requirements and simplifying maintenance. It supports static and dynamic operations, suitable for environments demanding high safety standards, and meets compliance regulations. Equipped with a fully enclosed column and remote control system, this hoist ensures seamless integration with upstream and downstream processes, enhancing efficiency and productivity in pharmaceutical, food, and fine chemical industries.
