PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, unloading, positioning and controlled transfer of bags, drums, canisters, raw material containers, process materials and different packaged products in the chemical industry.

In chemical production, handling operations are important not only for ergonomics but also for process safety, controlled unloading, hazardous area compatibility, material safety and production continuity.

Chemical Raw Material Handling

Manual handling and unloading of chemical raw materials may create safety risks for operators. PM Manipulators help bags, canisters and drums to be moved in a more controlled way.

Controlled Unloading and Process Feeding

In chemical production lines, raw materials may need to be transferred into reactors, mixers, hoppers or process tanks. PM Manipulators help the product to be positioned at the correct angle and support safer unloading processes.

ATEX and Special Environment Applications

According to application requirements, ATEX compliant manipulator solutions can be evaluated. This is especially important for production areas that may include explosive atmosphere risks, solvents, dust or chemical vapors.

Application Areas

PM Manipulators can be adapted to chemical industry operations such as:

• chemical raw material bag handling
• drum and canister handling
• controlled unloading
• hopper loading
• mixer feeding
• process tank feeding
• ATEX compliant environment applications
• custom gripper and end effector systems
