PCHR Rotating Basket Hoist
PCHR Rotating Basket Hoist
The PCHR is a cantilevered dual axis programmable, rotating basket material handling system based on the standard Baron Blakeslee PCH Hoist Design.
PCHR Rotating Basket Hoist
The PCHR is available as a standard option on Baron Blakeslee degreasers, but may also be integrated to existing degreasers of any manufacture.
The unique design of the PCHR overcomes many of the limitations of conventional rotating basket hoist designs. Some rotating basket designs have massive structures to accommodate mechanical components. The PCHR design is intended to be of minimal mass. Some rotating basket designs use basket drive systems that increase solvent dragout. The PCHR features a unique telescoping driveshaft that minimizes solvent dragout. Some rotating basket systems are very tall due to drive design. The PCHR telescoping driveshaft also facilitates overall height reduction.
