Features
Technical specification
Capacity: 10 to 80 kg/sack
Lifting range: 1,700 mm (2,400 mm possible)
Palamatic Process has the solution for all types of paper, plastic or jute sacks weighing up to 110 kg. The operator can maintain an output of 6 to 9 sacks per minute (depending on the surface to be covered).
These systems not only feed raw materials to all your process inputs, but also palletize your finished products.
A safety system is integrated into all systems, protecting the operator in the event of a power failure: the tube slowly relaxes, and the gripped load gently lands on the floor. There is no risk of the load falling (our systems are used for handling glass, car windscreens, TV sets, etc.).
All this with low maintenance for a highly efficient system.
