Gripping and handling sacks
Lifting, lowering, swinging, guiding of many different loads without physical effort – with the vacuum tube lifter Jumbo from J. Schmalz GmbH, crates, barrels, sheets of wood, cardboard boxes and in particular, sacks of all kinds can be moved easily and safely in production, trade and distribution. The powerful "Jumbos" are the intelligent answer to the continually increasing demands in material flow and internal logistics. Depending on the model and version, the vacuum tube lifters can grip and lift loads of all types weighing up to 300 kg – without the need for chain or rope hoists, cranes, manipulators or similar lifting tackle.Where the main task is the handling of heavy and unwieldy objects such as sacks of granulate, the vacuum tube lifter of the type “JumboSprint” is the best choice. The lifter and the load (such as paper or plastic sacks) can be guided precisely with two hands. The operator controls the vacuum with an integrated vacuum valve on the ergonomically designed operator handle: increasing the vacuum lifts the load, reducing the vacuum lowers it, in each case at up to 70 m/min. The directly driven blower developed especially for use in vacuum tube lifters offers major benefits: due to its high suction capacity, it is possible to handle even porous objects safely. The warranty period for the complete system is 24 months (in single-shift operation).
The Jumbo is designed in accordance with the latest ergonomical principles and permits almost effort-free lifting, lowering and movement of loads. Regardless of the working height, the operator can always adopt a healthy posture. The special sack gripper SG permits a single person to move paper and plastic sacks ergonomically, quickly and easily. The special shape of the gripper also ensures that the packing materials are not damaged.
Great attention has also been paid to safe operation: the quick-acting non-return valve and the large area of the vacuum gripper prevent inadvertent dropping of the load – even in the case of a power failure.
