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.

• 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
