(PRWEB) - New to Packline Materials Handling and Ultrasource, is the roll handling attachment designed to lift and rotate rolls of film or foil with a large internal core size. Constructed mainly from stainless steel, this roll handling solution is ideal for clean room environments, such as those found in food processing and pharmaceutical industries.

The 10” core vertical spindle attachment was designed to meet a requirement to lift and handle rolls of material with a large internal core size. Roll sizes are constantly increasing, and this can include the core size. This attachment caters for this.

Geared rotation allows the operator to re-orientate the roll just by turning the hand-wheel. The front plate centralises the spindle lifting attachment in the core. Having large chamfers on the end plate enables the operator to easily line up the spindle to lower onto the roll’s core.

This lifting solution enable the operator to pick up large rolls, rotate them and then raise them up above head height in order to load them onto a processing line.
Most roll sizes can be catered for, and therefore this solution was designed specifically for a customer with very large rolls of material.

Specifications:
Maximum Capacity: 60kg (132lbs)
Load Centre: 718mm (28”) from front of column
Attachment Mass: 75kg (165lbs)
Main Materials: Stainless Steel 304, Aluminium 6082/T6, Delrin Polypropylene, Brass, Phosphor Bronze.
