  • Can you provide more details on how Drumwaiter™ functions?

    Yes, we can.


    The founders of Drumwaiter™, drawing on over 40 years of experience in Pharmaceutical Products, Science, Research and Manufacturing, originally developed Drumwaiter™ products specifically for the handling of bulk toxic and highly potent pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical agents, shipped in drums, and used in Bulk Powder Enclosures, Isolators, or Downflow Booths. Subsequent market feedback told us that  Drumwaiter’s™ application applies to numerous other industries and their bulk powder needs. 

     

    Drumwaiter™ is a cost effective, low pressure pneumatic lift device, specifically designed for use in a Bulk Powder Enclosure, Isolator, or Downflow Booth. 


    The core of Drumwaiter™ is the proprietary, patent-pending, Drumwaiter™ In-Drum Elevator. Installed into a drum prior to filling, the Drumwaiter™ In-Drum Elevator can fit almost any size/type drum, it has no contact with contents in a lined drum, it is committed to use in a single drum, and it is not reusable. 


    Externally, a drum equipped with a Drumwaiter™ Elevator, is physically indistinguishable from a conventional drum, and it has no additional shipping or handling procedures. A Drumwaiter™ equipped drum arrives ready to use and requires no modification to existing equipment.


    The In-Drum Elevator is activated by the external Drumwaiter™ Footpedal. The Drumwaiter™ Footpedal, is custom designed and built specifically to meet the specifications required for Drumwaiter™ Elevators. Only the Drumwaiter™ branded Footpedal is approved for use with a Drumwaiter™ Elevator. The Drumwaiter™ Footpedal is most often connected to the In-Drum Elevator through an iris port on the Bulk Powder Enclosure, Downflow Booth or Isolator. 


    The Drumwaiter™ Elevator and the Drumwaiter™ Footpedal, work together providing hands free operation, to raise, lower, or hold the contents of a drum at any height repeatedly until the drum is empty. When the drum is empty, simply incinerate or dispose of the elevator with the drum. The External Footpedal is reusable.
