Roll Handling Equipment with Clamp Attachment and Retainers

Rolls or reels of film or foil can have a tendency to telescope, or drums can slip or crush when being lifted from the core or the circumference. This handling issue is usually overcome by using a higher rated torque unit to lift the rolls or drums. In some cases a higher rated torque unit is still not sufficient to prevent the rolls or reels from telescoping or the drums slipping whilst being lifted. In these situations an alternative solution is required.

This issue can be resolved by the use of a clamp attachment with adjustable retainers. These adjustable retainers are designed to cover a wide range of roll, reel and drum diameters and lengths, all of which can be lifted by the clamp attachment.

‘Star knobs’ are used to secure the retainers in place vertically by screwing into the sides of the arms. The width of the retainers is then adjusted using plunger pins through holes in the plates.

A fully stainless steel and anodised aluminium solution means that this roll handling solution is suitable for the food processing and pharmaceutical industries, ideal for handling rolls or reels of film or foil; and drums of ingredients.
