Lifting and Tipping Unit (LTU) / Lifting & Positioning Unit (LPU)

The Lifting & Positioning Devices are used to transfer and discharge the material dust-free and without
human touch with products help to control the contaminations. In pharmaceutical industries, these devices
are used to Load powder into Tablet Compression Machine hoppers, RMG, Sifters, etc.

Lifting and Tipping Unit (LTU) / Lifting & Positioning Unit (LPU) Complete setup.
Introduction:

Lifting devices are used to lift, Tipper & lower the Bins and FBD bowls in the Granulation area of every
pharmaceutical industry. These devices are operated hydraulically & pneumatically & lift the Bins & fill Sifter,
RMG, Mills, SCM/Multi mill /Quandromil l/Oscillating granulator, and tipping the FBD bowl FBD.

Technical Specifications:

LTU and LPU are customs designed to lift and position any type of container or bin. These units are
constructed/made using various s assemblies which helps with the different operation and product transfer
of solid dosage manufacturing and also for liquid compounding operation. These LPU & LTU also reduce the
contamination and human intervention in products and also help to achieve dust-free transfer of drug in-
process product materials. These systems are also enhancing the cGMP standard. Now one new system
also working in pharma industries i.e., the Product Transfer System (PTS) with the help of piping and
vacuum pump systems.
