Grippers
Pack Air has designed our Grippers to be modular in design but unique in operation. Initially designed as an in-line elevator/lowerator, Pack Air has added functions such as product upending and inverting, lift sections for diverting, and a rotating discharge which allows products to either be conveyed in-line, inverted, or upended, depending on product changeover requirements.
Key Points
- Products are gently squeezed between soft plastic bulbs attached to belts for transport and/or reorientation
- Products can be elevated or lowered within a very small area
- Products can also be reoriented or redirected while being elevated or lowered
- S-shaped, C-shaped, upending, and combined (changeable) configurations are available
- Can be used to facilitate operations such as metering, inspecting, washing/rinsing, and assembly/disassembly of products
- Adjustable to accommodate products of different sizes
- Adjustable infeed and discharge heights are available
- Lift base configuration is available for diverting products
- Pneumatic take-ups provide constant and even belt tension to both sides of the gripper
