Drum Manipulators
Sometimes, simply lifting and dumping isn’t the best way to approach that step in the process. You need a way to accurately position your product as it flows from the drum.
In industries like pharmaceuticals, for example, merely tilting the drum and chute can result in extensive spillage. This is particularly true for operations that load tablets into a coater with a vertical port and deep baffles.
METO Systems’ sanitary drum manipulators are fitted with a patented cam-action lift and tilt, which means they can precisely place the discharge point inside the coater while it lifts the drum to the proper angle for discharge.
Since tilting while lifting and positioning can be risky for both the operator and the product, METO drum manipulators are equipped with powered floor-locking devices, to minimize some of this risk. The mobile base helps ensure fluidity of movement and access to the coater for discharge and maintenance, and white polyolefin wheels protect against marking.
Drum lifter and tilter helps to handle heavy drums in the manufacturing unit efficiently. It not only reduces manual labor but it also reduces any wastage due to spills and such others. METO Systems provide drum inventor, lifter, and tilter with 3 different drives – Pneumatic, Electric, and Hydraulic. These tilters are very easy to install and operate. They are designed to handle drums of different sizes and we offer customizations to suit your business needs.
