Post Hoist Blenders
GEA's blending technology is further extended 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, with the added benefits that the IBC can be elevated post-blending to allowing for direct discharge into a downstream process or vessel.
By utilizing a post hoist during blending, it is then possible to perform discharge operations directly after homogeneity has been achieved.
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 to 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

From fossil fuels to future-ready: The rise of heat pumps
While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
