Ibc post hoists for pharmaceutical manufacturing
When managing intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) in pharmaceutical production, precise lifting and handling are critical. Safety concerns and the need for accurate docking necessitate advanced handling solutions.
Safely lift and handle Ibcs with precision
The GEA range of IBC Post Hoists provides a versatile lifting and handling solution designed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry. Featuring a robust rack and pinion mechanism rated at four times the working load, these hoists significantly reduce the risk of chain breakages. The electric ‘braked’ motor ensures the load remains in place in the event of utility loss. The motor is mounted on the carriage for easier maintenance, and the fully enclosed column and drive motors enhance safety. The modular design includes options like an IBC Inverting Carriage and an IBC Weighing Carriage, making it adaptable for various applications such as IBC blending, filling, and discharge. The control system offers user-friendly operation with simple push buttons or advanced PLC/HMI systems from Siemens or Allen Bradley. GEA’s hoists support lifting capacities of 400 kg, 900 kg, and 1600 kg, and can handle different IBC sizes, making them ideal for a range of pharmaceutical processes.
