With the reel rotator, you can lift heavy reels from a pallet, rotate and place them in a packaging machine without physical effort.
The two main benefits of the reel rotator: Avoiding manual material handling; and ensuring precise and careful handling of heavy reels.
To manually lift and turn heavy reels is a physically straining, exhausting and very inefficient solution for handling such large objects. With the reel rotator, you can boost your performance, as one operator can do the job repeatedly, without compromising on quality, efficiency or safety.
Note that on models with electric rotation, it is only possible to rotate at lifting heights above 825 mm, meaning that the gripping arms cannot touch floor or legs.
Working with reels requires careful movements and precise placement. Besides from being large and heavy, the reels are often fragile and very valuable, and must be handled with care. The risk of dropping the reels or causing damages/scratches is high, but with the reel rotator you ensure a high level of safety – for your reels, your employees and your surroundings.
The reel rotator is a perfect match for companies in the printing and packaging industry. Together with the Logitrans Reel Lifter, you have the optimal solution for handling your reels.
The main differences between a manual reel rotator and an electric reel rotator:
ELFRRM 1001 (electric lifting and clamping, manual rotation and propulsion)
- The tilt degree can be set for every 90° (with a locking system)
- Remote control for reel fastening/releasing
- Positioning valve available (precise and quiet positioning of the load)
ELFRRE 1001 (electric lifting, clamping and rotation, manual propulsion)
- Programmable tilt degree and rotation speed
- Light indicator when reel is fastened
- Controlled rotation start/stop
- Remote controls for reel rotation and fastening/releasing
- Positioning valve available (precise and quiet positioning of the load)
