Lifting column for drums and bins
Optimize your powder handling operations with a versatile lifting solution designed for precise drum and bin maneuvering, ensuring seamless integration into your production line while maintaining purity and reducing cross-contamination.

Lifts, Rotates, and Discharges Drums and Bins
The Colonna Girafusti e Giracesta from AGIERRE is an engineered lifting column designed for efficient handling and processing of drums and bins, widely applicable in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. It features a robust screw-driven lifting mechanism supported by a motorized slewing drive to achieve precise lifting, rotation, and positioning operations. This equipment is instrumental in streamlining the transfer and discharge of powders and granules, vital for specialty chemical production, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and nutraceuticals. It integrates effectively into existing powder transport systems, maintaining a smooth flow and ensuring minimization of cross-contamination within processing lines.
Built with an internal zinc-plated iron structure and an AISI304 stainless steel outer casing, it offers high durability and resistance to corrosive materials. Automated operation with PLC-controlled functions makes it suitable for continuous production setups, while the integration of safety features such as fall protection nuts enhances operational reliability. This lifting column supports a customized setup with adjustable limit switches and options for manual or powered rotation, tailored to specific process requirements.
