The Vertical Spindle is fully motorised and allows the reels to be lifted or lowered as well as being rotated to and from the vertical and horizontal orientations.
These actions can be carried out simultaneously and are made via a handheld ‘pendant’ which provides the operator with easy operation and precise control. In addition, a further powered drive is provided for the reel gripping and release actions with the reels being securely gripped by the core.
This mechanism has a torque limiter fitted so that the clamping fingers do not over or under tighten in the core. These features combine to enable the operator to lift and handle reels with complete confidence and safety.
The attachment has been specifically designed to provide a high load capacity with great strength and durability as well as improved wear resistance providing an enhanced ease of use with a simple and safe action.
This attachment is manufactured from stainless steel and anodised aluminium which makes it entirely suitable for the pharmaceutical and food industries and other hygienic applications.
Furthermore, it is backed up by a full bespoke design service so ensuring that the right solution can be made to suit most reels. All Packline attachments are fully interchangeable and can be easily fitted or removed from any model of Compac lifting machine that is fitted with the quick release system.
The lifting capacity of this unit is 300kg (661lbs), however, larger capacities and to suit greater reel widths, may be available on request.
