Why APPI: When you are the world leader in equipment that grinds, crushes, crumbles, breaks, flakes, hulls, hammers, shreds and pelletizes a nearly endless list of food and fodder you also must be a world leader in maintaining that equipment. CPM is that leader and to help maintain that position they have standardized on our HD2000 pneumatic hoists packaged for use on their die hoist trolleys for more than 15 years.

Adam Benner, their Product Engineering Manager says, “Our pellet mills have consumable parts that must be mounted, removed, and replaced regularly and our Columbia die hoists allow us to do that safely, quickly, and reliably. We chose “Allied Power” as our preferred vendor because of their exceptional product knowledge, sales and service quality”.

To help keep their production process as efficient as possible the pneumatic die trolley hoist is provided on a mounting bracket with the directional control valve mounted and plumbed on it. This reduces installation for CPM to putting in four bolts and connecting two hoses.

The photos show CPM customers using the die handling hoist rigged with two-parts of line to put a die ring weighing 3500 lb. into position for installation on a pellet mill.

Why APPI: Long Valley Reservoir (Crowley Lake) is the largest reservoir in the Los Angeles Aqueduct System and ultimately the source of drinking water for 4.3 million customers.

To meet California Department of Safety Of Dams requirements, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power must place a three-section segmental plug weighing 5000 pounds 80 feet below the reservoir water line to block an emergency diversion tunnel. Up to 10,000 lbs. of line pull may be required to remove this plug and pull it free.

Critical factors in purchasing this unit were its high-efficiency planetary reduction, sealed construction without any greasing requirements, and automatic brake.

According to the workers who use this unit, their barge-mounted Columbia Pneumatic Hoist turns what would have been a time-consuming and nearly impossible task into a routine operation.

Maintenance workers can now pull felt rolls on paper machines using a capstan. Unlike a winch that requires a line to be pulled off a drum and then rewound on the drum, this pneumatic capstan allows them to be ready to pull as soon as they put the friction wraps around the capstan head. In addition, the proportional pneumatic control valve provides the operator with complete control over the pulling speed.
