Truck is reel deal September 1st 2009 Flexible packaging specialist,
Printpack (European Division), has
improved the safety of workflow
associated with unloading finished
reels from high-speed slitter
rewinders with a custom stacker truck
from the Reel & Shaft Handling
Company (RaSHCo).
Printpack's standard reels normally
weigh around 18kg each, but for
larger products such as those used for
multi-pack bags finished product
weights can be over 40kg and are
unsuited to manual handling.
The RaSHCo truck allows
operators to safely remove finished
reels from the line and move them on
to the labelling, wrapping and
palletising area. The truck cradle
slides easily into place under the
finished product reels, then gently
pulls them from the shafts. More articles from The Reel & Shaft Handling Company Ltd: |
