Recycling Metal Transport to Hot Melting Crucibles
Rigid-Arm PM Manipulators Make Feeding Metals into Hot Melting Pots Safe, Controlled, and Ergonomic in Recycling Lines
The Need for Safe Handling in Hot Melting Processes
In aluminum and metal recycling facilities, transporting pressed bales and metal blocks into hot melting pots is one of the most critical operations due to high temperatures and metal fumes, posing serious safety risks for operators.
PM Industrial Manipulators, with their specially designed rigid-arm pneumatic systems, allow metals to be safely and remotely placed into melting pots, eliminating the need for operators to approach hazardous zones.
Remote-Controlled Product Placement with Rigid-Arm Manipulators
Rigid-arm PM manipulators feature high-temperature resistant construction and pneumatic release mechanisms, enabling operators to place metals into hot pots from a safe distance.
The rigid design transfers the load moment directly through the arm, ensuring vibration-free, balanced, and controlled movement.
This provides precise alignment and full control when placing metals into the pot.
