Drum blenders, also known as drum tumblers, are industrial mixing devices that uniformly blend dry powders and granules. They are also commonly used to keep ingredients in liquid suspension and break up powder clumps before discharge.
Efficiency and safety are paramount in industries that involve frequent handling and movement of drums. METO Systems has designed the PLM-01 Sanitary Drum Transporter to meet these needs, offering a versatile, reliable solution for transporting drums of various materials and sizes.
Lab scale blenders, also known as lab blenders, are specialized equipment most often used by the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. These advanced tools can mix a wide variety of ingredients or compounds in precise amounts for experiments, formulations, or product development.
For smaller-scale, lightweight applications, METO Systems offers the Mini Utility Lift series. These versatile lifts, designed to handle loads up to 500 lbs., are ideal for tight spaces without obstructing neighboring equipment.
Franklin Lakes, NJ, March 27, 2024 – METO Systems, a pioneer in material handling solutions for over 50 years, proudly unveils its latest innovation: the MetoFit Low-Ceiling Bulk Bag Column Lift. This groundbreaking solution addresses the pressing challenge of integrating bulk bags into manufacturing processes with restricted ceiling heights.
Efficient material handling is crucial in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food processing industries, where precision and hygiene are paramount. In this article, we will compare and contrast stationary column lifts and mini utility lifts, evaluating their suitability for use in these industries.
Efficient material handling is a cornerstone of productivity across industries. The right equipment can significantly improve workflow efficiency, enhance safety, and reduce labor costs. In this article, we will explore three types of material handling equipment: drum tilters, FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) column lifts, and drum blenders, and showcase their diverse applications in various industries.
As we witness the impact of climate change around the world, the drive for corporate sustainability initiatives has never been greater. Consumer demands and governmental policies for greener packaging and manufacturing solutions have increased the pressure on businesses globally to move to more sustainable solutions.
Dry blending is a vital step in the production of pharmaceutical drugs. These substances are usually powders but may also be in the form of granules. The active pharmaceutical ingredient or API is blended with a non-active ingredient known as an excipient to produce tablets. The excipients can serve different purposes; for example, they can serve as carriers for the active ingredient.
Whether you need drum manipulation equipment, container lifts or want to design a fully customized blending system from the ground up, you need a team of experts you can count on every step of the way. METO Systems provides everything you need for any size project. This is why we have earned an exceptional reputation in the markets we serve.
