PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, loading, unloading and controlled positioning of raw material bags, packaged products, boxes, cartons, drums, canisters and process materials in food production lines.

In the food industry, handling operations must be evaluated according to hygiene, ergonomics, process safety, controlled unloading, packaging line transfer and production continuity.

Ergonomic Handling of Food Raw Materials

Manual handling of flour, sugar, cocoa, granule products and packaged raw materials can be difficult for operators. PM Manipulators allow these products to be handled in a more controlled and ergonomic way.

Compatibility with Hygienic Production Environments

Equipment used in food production lines must be suitable for the production environment. According to application requirements, stainless steel structure, food grade paint, hygienic design and custom end effector solutions can be evaluated.

Raw Material Loading and Packaging Transfer

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

• flour sack handling
• sugar bag handling
• cocoa bag handling
• granule raw material handling
• hopper loading
• mixer feeding
• box and carton handling
• packaging line transfer
