Mobile Bin Trolley for Lab-Scale Mixer

Product Description

The mobile bin trolley is specifically designed for use in laboratory or pilot-scale environments. It facilitates easy lifting and transportation of mixing bins to the top of lab-scale mixers for charging operations. Ideal for powders, granules, and liquids, the trolley supports versatile material handling in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and R&D sectors.

Core Functions & Applications

• Material Feeding: Transfers the bin directly above the mixer for vertical material feeding.

• Small-Scale Production: Suitable for R&D, pilot production, and small batch mixing processes.

• Versatile Use: Supports powder, granule, and liquid materials across various industries.

• Dual Functionality:

  • Acts as a charging hopper for downstream processes such as tableting, capsule filling, or liquid dispensing.

  • Functions as a storage and transfer bin from upstream batching or weighing.

Structural Design

1. Bin Mounting System

• Top & Bottom Mounting Design:
  Enables the bin to function flexibly between upstream and downstream processes.
  Improves bin utilization and ensures continuity in production flow.

2. Mobile Trolley Construction

• Heavy-Duty Caster Wheels:
  Easy movement across lab environments.
  Designed for manual positioning under or above mixers.

Design Highlights

1. Z-Axis Manual Lifting Mechanism

• Screw-Type Vertical Lift:
  A hand-crank driven T-screw lifts the bin along the Z-axis.
  Features high mechanical efficiency and precise vertical positioning.

• Guidance System:
  Includes guide wheels and/or linear slide tracks to stabilize the bin during lifting.
  Prevents shaking or misalignment in the elevation process.

2. X-Axis ±1° Axis Alignment System

• Alignment Accuracy:
  Ensures coaxial alignment between the mixer and bin shaft (≤ φ0.05 mm tolerance).
  Critical for smooth loading/unloading of the bin.

• Adjustable Support Frame:
  Fine-tuning mechanism integrated into the trolley base.
  Allows ±1° angular adjustment to correct misalignment on the X-axis.
  Guarantees smooth bin docking and safe material transfer.

Benefits

• Cost-Effective: Manual design requires no external power source.

• Easy Operation: No advanced training required.

• Improved Process Efficiency: Enhances bin interchangeability across multiple mixing systems.

• Safe & Stable: Built-in alignment and guidance systems reduce operational errors.

Ideal For:

• Laboratory R&D facilities

• Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical pilot lines

• Food and chemical product formulation

• Institutions and technical centers requiring modular material handling
