Packline Materials Announce The Production Of Their New Lifting Equipment With Vertical Spindle Attachment For Handling Narrow Rolls Of Film Or Foil


The Roll Lifter for Handling Narrow Rolls is the ideal solution to increase efficiency and improve health and safety conditions.

New to Packline Materials Handling and Ultrasource LLC, this Roll Handling Equipment is designed to handle a range of narrow rolls of foil or film for rotating and positioning onto a processing or packaging line. Constructed from stainless steel, this roll handling solution is suitable for the food, drinks and pharmaceutical industries.

This Vertical Spindle Attachment was designed in response to a customer requirement to handle a range of narrow rolls with varying widths from 4.72” (120mm) to 17.71” (450mm).

The Vertical Spindle Attachment incorporates a ‘collar block’ to allow for the narrow rolls, ensuring that they are securely held in position. The collar can easily be removed to handle larger rolls.

In addition, serrated fingers on the vertical spindle attachment engage with the roll. The serrated fingers, together with the attachment collar, hold the roll centrally along the vertical spindle.

The rolls are securely gripped by the core. This mechanism has a torque limiter fitted so that the clamping fingers do not over or under tighten in the core. This enables the operator to lift the rolls with complete confidence and safety.

This model has a gearbox with manual handwheel for the rotation to and from the vertical to horizontal orientations. A further handwheel provides the reel gripping and release action.

The attachment has been designed to provide strength, durability as well as improved wear resistance and enhanced ease of use which provides a simple and safe action.

This handling solution is suitable for the food, drinks and pharmaceutical industry and other hygienic applications. Furthermore, it is backed up by a full bespoke design service so ensuring that the right solution can be made to suit most reels.

All Packline attachments are fully interchangeable and can be easily fitted or removed from any model of Compac lifting machine that is fitted with the quick release system.

The lifting capacity is 264lbs (120kg) however larger capacities, and to suit other types and styles of reels with their materials, may be available on request.

Suitable for rolls of film, foil, labels and various packaging materials, this attachment is backed up by a full bespoke design service so ensuring that the right solution can be made to suit most requirements.
