A new handling system for plastic drums

Dalmec presents a new Partner Equo industrial manipulator designed for handling plastic drums and equipped with a gripping tool adapted to metal grippers. This new system has been designed specifically for picking up, lifting and transferring plastic drums, so as to position them above a tank or other drum and allow them to be emptied at the end of the stroke.

Always in search of innovation, and in line with its commitment to the fight against RSI, Dalmec has developed this new equipment by equipping it with a customized gripping tool for picking up drums of different diameters, capable of reversing the load through 180° thanks to a pneumatic device. 

This new equipment is an easy-to-use, column-mounted, self-balancing pneumatic solution designed to meet the handling needs of a wide range of industrial sectors. 

For example, this new drum manipulator can be used to prepare mixtures and pour powders, grains, salts, liquids or other ingredients in the food, chemical, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in the construction industry for the manufacture of building materials. 

In order to facilitate safe and easy handling of drums with loads of up to 400 kg, and in view of the limited ceiling height available in central weighing plants, this manipulator is available in a low-profile version. 

Designed for balancing and compensating heavy loads, this new Partner Equo manipulator has been designed to adapt to the type, dimensions and loads of the drums to be handled, in accordance with the needs of users and their working environment, whether in a workshop with limited space or on a production line, and to do so quickly, precisely and safely, without any effort.

An evolving structure

The Dalmec Partner Equo is a pneumatic manipulator with an articulated arm that balances the weight of the applied load evenly and stably in the absence of effort. 

All movements are obtained by simple manual guidance, which guarantees high precision of movements applied to the load. Its modular structure has been designed to withstand the torsion generated by this type of load. This equipment fits perfectly into cramped working environments, thanks to its evolutionary structure and the infinite possibilities of varying the shapes and dimensions of the terminal arm.

This equipment complies with the requirements of European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and has been subjected to a risk analysis.

Features Partner Equo : 

  • Max. force 550 Kg
  • Max. working radius 4000 mm
  • Vertical travel: 2450 mm 
  • Control: pneumatic
