Drum Dumpers and Tippers are ideal for charging coaters; filling hoppers, reactors, and other process vessels; dispensing applications; and discharging powders, granules, pellets, and tablets.

Tippers position the drum downward, allowing the product to be easily discharged through a bung in the head of the drum.

Platform lifts, also known as stationary column lifts, are a smooth, efficient way to move products, containers, tools, and equipment to various locations in a manufacturing facility. They can reach separate floors, elevated charging chutes, and positions both above and below processing equipment. Our column lifts provide simple, reliable, ergonomic solutions that ensure the safety of the operator when heavy loads need to be lifted and handled.

FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) bags are highly durable and reusable. They are usually referred to as bulk bags and are used for the transportation of dry bulk goods such as fertilizers, plastic granules, seeds, resins, and powders. This makes them suitable for use in a wide variety of industries.

Many production or manufacturing tasks that require overcoming gravity to aid the process will require the use of vertical lifting equipment. In many instances, the process will call for a lift to elevate and position process equipment over downstream automatic ‘process equipment'. Choosing the right lift for a project involves analyzing the task at hand and partnering with the appropriate vendor who will deliver the safest, most efficient, and best-performing equipment in the market today.

Tumble Blenders, also known as drum blenders, are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, chemical industry, and electron industry to mix dry powder. Especially for materials with a high-quality mix demand or multi-product, multi-volume blends.

As commonplace as drum manipulation is in today’s industrial workplaces, choosing the wrong type of drum handling equipment can become a very costly mistake. Special lifting devices make it easy to pick up, tilt, rotate, and transport drums. This drum manipulation equipment not only protects employees from physical harm, but also increases the efficiency of the workflow as a whole.

Having a well-designed Drum Conditioner is essential for safely removing the hardened product from drums or boxes in the dry processing and bulk solids handling industry

Drum Conditioners also referred to as Drum Massagers, are used to break up packed or solidified material. When drums of dry powder become interlocked through road transport, heat, humidity, or simply from storage over time, it becomes difficult to produce material flow, or sometimes, any flow at all.

The safe manufacture of pharmaceutical products demands a high level of quality control in an ever-changing landscape. Years past, when large batches of drug compounds were mixed in huge steel containers, powder ingredients could easily escape via dust or caught in dust extraction filters, causing yield irregularities, pollution and threatening worker safety.
