Features
Technical specification
Capacity: 10 to 110 kg/bag
Lifting stroke: 1,700 mm (up to 2,400 mm stroke )
Palamatic Process has the solution to handle all types of paper, plastic or hessian bags up to 110 kg. The operator can maintain a rate of 6 to 9 bags per minute (depending on the area to be covered).
These installations allow raw material infeed of your process but also ensure a palletization of your finished products.
A safety system is integrated to all systems and protects the operator in the event of a power failure: the tube expands slowly and the load is gently laid on the ground. There is no risk of the load being dropped (our systems are used for the handling of windows, car windscreens, televisions, etc.).
All this with little maintenance for a highly efficient system.
