Improved ergonomics and ingredient handling
ColumnLift vacuum-receiver systems (photo) provide access to mixers or other process vessels that have opening and closing hatches. Users will find improved ergonomics due to reduced lifting and stair climbing, greatly reducing the risk of injury. The ColumnLift system also improves sanitation practices, since equipment can be serviced from ground level instead of working at an elevation. Also, the system reduces the ingredient-handling stage of the process by allowing cleaning and sanitation to occur during the mixing process. The ColumnLift system works with all types of bulk powder containers, including paper bags, drums, intermediate bulk containers, bulk bags or silos. Booth 1219 — Vac-U-Max, Belleville, N.J.
