Vacuum Tube Lifter JumboErgo Is an Attractive Lifting Aid for Canisters on a Roller Belt

Type of handling: Manual handling
Sector: Logistics
Component: Canisters, Food

Located in Lichtenau near Rastatt, Germany, the Schell-Ölmühle company is a traditional, family-run business that has dedicated to the production of cooking oils for over 100 years. The cooking oil is poured into bottles (or canisters) and then sold to food retailers, industrial customers, and the food service industry.

The canisters are filled automatically using a roller belt, but they have always been carried away by hand. Since the canisters can weigh up to 10 kg each, and a large number must be processed each day, this has proven to be very strenuous for the employees. The firm was looking for a solution that would allow the work to be done faster and would be less harmful to the workers' health.

The vacuum tube lifter JumboErgo 65 was just what they were looking for. It is equipped with a special gripper and a main beam that is 1,200 mm long. Five single-hook heads are attached to the main beam. These allow the canisters to be lifted by their handles. This makes it possible to simultaneously lift five canisters weighing 10 kg each and place them on the pallet. The pallets are sealed in plastic film using a stretch wrapping machine and then delivered. The employees are particularly enthusiastic about the ergonomic operating unit of the vacuum tube lifter JumboErgo, and they do not want to do without it. Being able to unload roller belts more quickly increases productivity. This adds to the customer value and shows that Schmalz has an answer for every problem, even if it requires a highly customized solution.
