The Buck Systems™ blending technology is extended further with our range of Post Hoist Blenders. All of the features and benefits of the Pedestal Container (IBC) Blenders are repeated with the Post Hoist range. But the added benefits of elevating the IBC after blending allowing for direct discharge into a downstream process.

Milling and Blending
By carry out blending functions on the Post Hoist, the blender has the versatility to carry out discharge operations directly after blending. A common application is to allow blended material to be discharged through a mill or sieve into a receiving IBC. The IBC is aligned and clamped on the IBC Blending Cage, before being docked with the Buck® active valve on the inlet of the Mill. Controls and interlocks for the Buck® Valve are managed through the Post Hoist control system.
