Packline Develop High Shear Mixer Head Lifter

One of the leading manufacturers of High Shear Mixer Heads approached Packline to assist in developing a lifting device that they could offer their customers as a safe and reliable means to handle their range of Mixer Heads.

Utilizing the technology used on the company's recently launched Compac Mk5 range of product a purpose designed lifting machine and attachment was designed to lift and lower the mixer head assemblies in and out of mixing vessels.

Because the majority of applications would be in clean room environments where hygiene and resistance to chemicals was of paramount importance the mixer head lifter was produced in stainless steel and to facilitate cleaning built to an IP65 rating.   To enable access to large diameter mixing vessels the High Shear Mixer Head Lifter was designed with a wide leg span and because the equipment is sold worldwide the legs are also removable to minimize packing space saving consignment costs.   Built to meet the latest international Health & Safety directives the High Shear Mixer Head Lifter incorporates many features ensuring both operator safety and ease of use some of which include: - Electrical overload trip, Emergency stop button, and Lift & Lower travel limit switches.   Manufactured with three different attachments and catering for loads of up to 110kg the lifter covers the complete standard range of High Shear Mixing Heads and for those special applications the company offer a full bespoke design service.

Chris Baker, Packline's Managing Director, said "One of the company's strengths is our ability to work closely with our clients to create lifting solutions specific to their requirements" he went on to add " Not only do we develop and manufacture the solution but we also provide comprehensive documentation and full technical support to back it up"
