Rotate & roll with new drum handler
April 1st 2010

The new STE01-RCG Quick Changer developed by STS Safety Trolley Systems can pick up and rotate rolls with different internal core diameters.

This is achieved because the operator can change the core gripper sleeve from 76–150mm. It takes the operator 45 seconds to change from one to another.

Another problem with core grippers was that they could only pick up rolls that did not telescope. This new unit is able to cope with telescoping rolls by adding an external powerclamping arm. The arm automatically clamps to the outside of the roll once the core gripper has expanded in the roll.
