Vacuum conveyor with lifting and swiveling columns

In many industries it is still common practice to fill filling systems, presses or containers by hand from above. This process is usually unergonomic for employees and rather time-consuming. This procedure often harbors undreamt-of dangers, for example that of a dust explosion

360° drehbare Hubsäule mit Vakuumförderer
360 ° rotatable lifting column that simply brings the vacuum conveyor onto the machine

An alternative to automated filling are lifting and swiveling columns that are equipped with a vacuum conveyor for material transfer. The vacuum conveyor sits in a holding fork that is mounted on the lifting column and can be steplessly raised and lowered.

Would you like more information on the topic or do you have a process that you would like to make safer, more effective and more ergonomic?
