PREVIEW PPMA 2014 OPERATOR SAFETY AND EASE OF HANDLING
Jarshire says its focus at PPMA may be summed up as operator safety, ease of handling, and waste reduction. A slitter process simulator utilising the Lift Assist from Dotec is an example of the coordination of process speed, operator safety and ergonomics. In terms of waste reduction, Jarshire’s Reelsaver will
restore 3", 6" and 8" ID cores on old or damaged reel stock with a flick of a switch, allowing customers to make big savings. Packaging material that once had to be put aside because of damage to cores sustained during transit or on-site handling can now be back in the production stream within minutes. Process speed can benefit from lightweight
airshafts from Svecom manufactured from aircraft- grade aluminium. The low weight of the shaft body allows easy and safe manual handling, resulting in efficient insertion and withdrawal of the shaft from the reels thereby increasing production through quicker reel changes.
Jarshire’s Recycling and
Environmental Division will feature the successful IPS V606 Vertical Baler that handles cardboard, paper and plastic. The V606 produces bales that are the most convenient size for recycling companies to handle. Safe, reliable and of heavy-duty construction, the
