Overhead Roll Handling Solution for Dispenser Loading

The customer required a safe and efficient solution for handling rolls supplied two per pallet, horizontally stacked. Each roll measures 2200 mm in width, 445 mm in diameter, and weighs 78 kg. The rolls are delivered on a four-way entry, closed-bottom pallet measuring 1500 x 1000 mm.

For the client’s process, it was essential to lift the rolls from above by gripping their outer diameter, as the core needed to remain accessible for fitting a mandrel prior to loading into a dispenser.

Solution:
Packline designed a tailored overhead lifting solution featuring a geared clamping attachment that grips the rolls securely on their outer circumference, leaving the core free for mandrel insertion. This allows for seamless loading of rolls into the dispenser from above.

The lifting system is equipped with a handwheel-operated geared clamp and an electric lift, complete with remote control operation for ease of use. The entire system is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, making it fully compatible with food and pharmaceutical clean room environments.
