Hygien Elevator Pump Lifting Carriage
Hygien Elevator Pneumatic Pump Lifting Carriage
The Hygien Elevator carries, lifts and regulates the immersion of a piston pump. It is a wheeled stainless steel pneumatic lifting column: the drum stays on the floor, and the elevator raises and lowers the pump suction tube into and out of it, holding it at a set immersion depth while the drum empties.
What Problem It Solves
- Drum changeover without manhandling a heavy pump
- Consistent immersion depth, so suction does not break as the level drops
- Lifting the pump clear for cleaning and inspection
- Operator safety and reduced manual handling in a hygienic area
Published Specification
Available with several double-ball pump options with maximum flow rates from approximately 20 to 45 litres per minute. Adjustable height 1800 to 2200 mm, width approximately 1400 mm, depth approximately 1050 mm. Frame weight approximately 110 kg, or 120 to 140 kg with a pump fitted. Lockable wheels. Pneumatic operation, intrinsically safe, with ATEX Zone 1 or Zone 2 execution available.
Not a Drum Tipper
To be clear about what this is: the Hygien Elevator lifts the pump, not the drum. If your requirement is emptying very high viscosity product that will not flow to a suction tube at all, the Hygien D-Unloader with a follower plate is the correct unit.
The High Viscosity Transfer Range
Related equipment: Food Pump (general food-grade viscous transfer), Hygien Pump (hygienic and pharmaceutical grade), Hygien Cart (mobile pump trolley), Hygien Elevator (pneumatic pump lifting carriage) and Hygien D-Unloader (drum unloader with follower plate).
Installation, Pipework and Support
Product transfer rarely stops at the pump. Hygienic pipework, fittings and CIP compatibility are handled by our piping works and instrumentation team, positioning and commissioning by equipment installation, and servicing by maintenance and repair.
