High Containment Lift Systems

Containment is developing into an evermore important consideration as high potency ingredients and API’s become more prevalent.

Containment is a common driving force behind capital expenditure and site improvements, as engineers and operators alike are all too aware of the dangers of contamination and exposure.

High containment lift systems are an excellent way of overcoming common problems associated with material handling. A lift system can be integrated with process valves and silicone sleeves to provide the dust-tight, fully contained transfer of powders, liquids or other process material.

Hanningfield’s high containment lift systems incorporate intelligent positioning sensors to align inlets and outlets, enabling the fast and accurate transfer of powders, granules and liquids etc without loss of products - offering a total containment solution.

Another important feature of Hanningfield’s high containment lift system is the ‘failsafe’ design which offers security by preventing the lift, and hence the load, from falling in the event of a breakdown.

The Uni-Hoist high containment lift systems is designed and manufactured by Hanningfield in the United Kingdom. Hanningfield have manufactured more than 200 hoists and have been working with high containment processes for more than 20 years.

Column Hoists

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Hanningfield Uni-Hoist is a high quality column lift designed for the pharmaceutical, food, chemical and associated industries.

Capable of lifting up to 1500kgs, the hoist is suitable for almost any application and provides both a safe and reliable solution.  Morevover, the hoists boast a hygienic, cGMP design and are manufactured from stainless steel.

 

 

With over 200 built and installed worldwide, the Uni-Hoist has a wide range of applications, notably for the lifting and rotating of IBCs and drums.

Intermediate Bulk Container Handling

Intermediate bulk container handling is an important part of processing, as powder is nearly always, at some point, stored in an intermediate bulk container (IBC).

There are various ways in which one might consider the handling of an IBC:

Loading an IBC with Powder -powder often needs to be loaded into an IBC, either direct from a bag, a blender, a fluid bed dryer, or another other process machine.  This can be achieved using a Hanningfield vacuum conveyor, which transports powder in a fully contained, dust-free manner.  Click here for more info.

Unloading Powder from an IBC - Alternatively, an IBC already containing powder may need to be unloaded, sucking the powder from the IBC and transporting it to the next stage of the process.  This allows powder to be transferred directly from an IBC to a tablet press, capsule filling machine, a blender, a mill, or any other process machine.

Lifting, turning and inverting an IBC - Sometimes it is preferable to lift an IBC for processing, to feed the below process machine using gravity feed.  This allows the powder in the IBC to fall downwards and is an extremely common method for IBC discharge. Click here for more info.

IBC Post Hoists

The lifting of IBCs and other bulk containers is very common in the pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries.  The handling of heavy containers can often prove problematic and can also be extremely dangerous.

The use of an IBC post hoist provides a simple, safe and space-conscious solution to the lifting of IBCs.
