Lifting device for vacuum boxes on Hvbfs
Maintaining vacuum boxes on Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filters (HVBFs) typically involves high-risk tasks due to the use of manual lifting equipment like hand-operated winches and levers. These methods can lead to personnel injuries and require significant labor effort.
Enhances safety during vacuum box maintenance
The SmartLIFT from ANDRITZ SEPARATION is a lifting device designed to enhance safety and efficiency during vacuum box maintenance on HVBFs. It employs a bellow-supported frame that is pneumatically lifted to bear the weight of the vacuum box, allowing for easy, stable maintenance. The device stands out by reducing downtime for vacuum box maintenance by over 30% and minimizing the risk of injury by stabilizing the vacuum box throughout the lifting and lowering process. It can be retrofitted to any HVBF regardless of brand or size, thus offering flexibility. Its low-maintenance design, with no pivoting points, further simplifies upkeep.
