In the same area, workers need to stack both bags and cartons — two very different loads to handle. Constant manual carrying tires them out, but buying two separate machines takes up space and costs more.

FullSharp installed an articulating jib crane with two independently swiveling sections, reaching into tight corners. An air balancer with an ANVER vacuum pump serves both tools, so switching the suction head takes the operator from bags to cartons in minutes.

Articulating Jib Crane with Air Balancer and ANVER Pump for Bags and Cartons

Equipment Installed

  • Articulating jib crane: two independently swiveling arm sections that fold to reach into corners and tight gaps.
  • FullSharp air balancer: suspends the load with air pressure, so releasing the hand leaves it hanging in place.
  • ANVER vacuum pump: creates and maintains stable vacuum for both types of suction head.
  • Bag suction tool: a suction face for woven and paper bags, gripping well even on slightly wrinkled surfaces.
  • Carton suction tool: a flat suction face for cartons, that doesn't dent the lid or corners.

Benefits for the Plant

One machine, two jobs

Sharing one crane and one pump, only the suction head needs changing to handle both bags and cartons.

Reaches tight corners

The articulating arm folds to reach spots a straight arm can't.

Light work all shift

The air balancer carries the weight, so the operator only pushes and positions the load.

Suitable Applications

  • Food plants handling both raw material bags and finished cartons
  • Logistics warehouses sorting goods by order
  • End-of-line packing, moving cartons onto pallets
  • Mixing areas emptying bags into hoppers

Installation Consultation for Your Plant

FullSharp reviews both load types, weighing them and measuring the contact surface to select a pump and a pair of suction heads that can be shared. Our engineers also measure the working area to set the length of the two articulating sections. Describe your bag type and carton size, and we'll survey the site and draft a plan.
