PM Manipulators are industrial pneumatic manipulator systems developed for ergonomic handling, controlled rotation, unloading and safe positioning of drums, canisters, buckets and cylindrical containers within production lines.

In drum and canister operations, liquid movement, gripping safety, unloading angle, operator safety and process area layout must be evaluated together with the load weight.

Ergonomic Drum and Canister Handling

Manual drum handling and unloading operations may create high safety risks for operators. PM Manipulators help drums and canisters to be lifted, positioned and transferred to unloading points in a more controlled way.

Controlled Rotation and Unloading

Drums and canisters may need to be unloaded into process tanks, mixers or filling lines. PM Manipulators can be developed with 90 degree and 180 degree controlled rotation systems according to operational requirements.

Gripper and Custom End Effector Solutions

Custom mechanical grippers, circumferential gripping systems or project specific end effectors can be developed according to drum type, diameter, weight and surface structure.

Application Areas

PM Manipulators can be adapted to drum and canister operations such as:

• drum handling
• canister handling
• bucket handling
• controlled rotation
• controlled unloading
• process tank feeding
• filling line transfer
• chemical production line handling
