Palamatic handling systems for reels

WHY CHOOSE PALAMATIC?

Reel/Roll handling poses many

problems. Every day thousands

of reels are taken off printing or

converting machines to be

stacked on pallets. At the other

end of the production line this

process is reversed. Reels can

spiral when picked from the core

using mechanical grippers and,

in many cases, the reel has to be

rewound. Occasionally this can

mean a totally wasted reel.

Damage to the edge of the reel

is widespread when badly

handled. As with all manual

handling of heavy loads the

operator cannot always protect

the product if dropped or

knocked against a work surface.

The Palamatic reel manipulating

systems solve both with specially

designed suction feet to cope

with varying diameters. Grip is

achieved across all the windings

which, when lifted prevents any

spiralling occuring. Because the

reel is now weightless the

operator can exercise more care

when manoeuvring it. With the

addition of manual or

pneumatically powered turning

systems, the reel can safely and

easily be turned through 90°.

The benefits of Palamatic lifters

include

All giving

you a low maintenance, high

efficiency system.
