Special Schneider devices for handling blister film

Film reel lifters from Schneider are economically designed handling devices for in-house transportation of film reels from the goods-in area to their processing location in line with cleanroom conditions, and where required also in compliance with explosion-proofing requirements.

Schneider offers a wide range of stainless steel lifting devices to address the many different demands imposed on the handling of film reels, alongside a range of matching attachments for gripping, holding and rotating. All are ideally adapted to the individual needs of our customers. Put an end to laborious manual handling of film – we at Schneider will take care of the job for you in absolute safety with our smart transportation solutions.

Using our Robusto GBK, the classic among our lifting devices, fitted with a special gripping and rotating mechanism, a well wound blister film reel can also be engaged from the outside. Lifting film reels off the pallet and turning them into the working position no longer requires muscle. Just ask our Schneider advisory team.

The benefits:

• No need to change spindle adapters,
• Simpler transfer, as no precise spindle-to-spindle alignment is required,
• Pick-up of film reels lying on a pallet and rotation into the working position,
• Optimum ergonomics and occupational safety in the handling of film reels.

• Due to its serviceability characteristics (as described, these can take many different forms)
• In terms of its practical significance and its appearance
• In respect of its pure material value (aluminium scrap – prices are determined primarily according to the LME (London Metal Exchange).
• In terms of investment in aluminium producers, given the anticipated increased demand for aluminium on the world market (cf. share performance of the two biggest aluminium producers in the world market – Alcan and Alcoa)
• And finally due to improved processes for the recovery of secondary aluminium (aluminium recycling)
