Rolls of paper, fabric, plastic film, aluminum, steel coil and electrical cable weigh from 30kg to more than 1 tonne. Rolling or carrying them by hand damages the roll edges, loading them off-center onto the machine shaft causes downtime, and a rolling roll is an accident risk.
FullSharp has built hundreds of roll handling units for printing, packaging, textile, electronics and engineering plants. Depending on how the roll is picked from the pallet and fed to the machine, the equipment grips the inner core, clamps the outer surface or supports the roll from below, and can turn the roll from vertical to horizontal and back. All of them need only one operator.
The roll is held by the core or supported from below, never rolled on the floor or knocked, so outer layers do not need to be cut away.
Rolls reach the machine shaft at the correct height and centered, reducing downtime for roll changes.
Even a 500kg roll needs only one operator with an electric roll lifter or manipulator.
Yes, with quick-change shafts or self-centering cone shafts. FullSharp configures the shafts for the core sizes you use.
Use a roll lifter with a 90 degree rotation mechanism or a manipulator with a rotating gripper. See the horizontal roll lifters in the roll lifter category.
A heavy-duty manipulator or a crane with a C-hook core gripper. FullSharp designs it to the actual coil diameter and weight.
Every plant differs in load, part size, handling frequency and working space. FullSharp carries out a site survey, recommends suitable equipment, load-tests it before handover and trains your operators. The equipment is built at the FullSharp factory in Taiwan, with spare parts and warranty service available in Vietnam.
