A bi-layer tablet press requires two vacuum conveyors / hoppers to be raised and docked onto the two inlets of the tablet press. A dual vacuum hopper post hoist is the perfect solution to achieving an effective dock every time, reducing manual handling and improving safety, while quickening the process.
Application
The dual vacuum conveyor hoist lifts two hoppers on one post hoist to the same height, using two separate arms, and once at the required height the hoist then slews the hoppers above the bi-layer tablet press, before lowering and docking them onto the respective inlets.
Once the material has been discharged from the vacuum hoppers, the dual vacuum conveyor hoist then lowers the two hoppers to ground level for cleaning and maintenance.
Choose the Post Hoist that Suits your Requirements
We supply a range of post hoists, including customised lift systems, to raise and lower vacuum transfer hoppers / conveyors as required.
Whether your application requires the post hoist to be electric, pneumatic or manual – or fixed in one place or mounted to a mobile cart / trolley – we have the solution for you. The Uni-Hoist is available in six standard models to satisfy various applications, all of which are available as a dual arm hoist, with custom built hoists also available:
> Uni-Hoist HES (Hoist Electric Stationary)
> Uni-Hoist HEM (Hoist Electric Mobile)
> Uni-Hoist HMS (Hoist Manual Stationary)
> Uni-Hoist HMM (Hoist Manual Mobile)
> Uni-Hoist HPS (Hoist Pneumatic Stationary)
> Uni-Hoist HPM (Hoist Pneumatic Mobile)
Our Uni-Hoist systems are engineered for safe and repeatable operation in hygienic environments. The hoist lift systems utilise various lifting mechanisms (such as lead-screw or chain), with fail-safe features to prevent the vacuum transfer hopper from slipping in case of malfunction.
The standard post hoist models are manufactured from 304 stainless steel (150 grit) and designed for use in hygienic GMP environments, with smooth surfaces and polished aesthetic welds.
Post hoists are suitable for use with the Hanningfield Uni-Vac vacuum conveyors, or can be used with any other type / brand / manufacturer.
