Can you predict the risk of injuries?

“Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) cover a broad range of health problems. The main groups are back pain/injuries and Work Related Upper Limb Disorders, commonly known as “repetitive strain injuries”. Lower limbs can also be affected.

Lifting, poor posture and repetitive movements are among the causes. Some types of disorders are associated with particular tasks or occupations.

MSD are commonly reported work related health problem by European workers: 30% complain of backache; 17% complain of muscular pains in their arms and legs; 45% report working in painful or tiring positions; 33% are required to handle heavy loads in their work.”

Vacuum technology

How does it work?
An electric vacuum pump, or ejector pump, pumps out the air which creates the desired vacuum level.

When a suction foot is placed (airtight) on an object, e.g. a cardboard box, the result is lower pressure. The difference in pressure makes the tube contract vertically and the object is lifted.

Unique safety
Since the suction foot is always dimensioned in accordance with the vacuum lift tube, you don’t risk dropping lifted objects that are too heavy. If the weight is too much, the tube lift will simply not lift it.

This eliminates the risk of personal injury and damaged goods. If the vacuum pump should stop, the depression is retained so that the load can be lowered in a controlled manner.

Vacuum lifter solutions

Need to reduce injuries
Many industries today meet the need to reduce repetitive strain injuries caused by manual handling of goods. To some extent the problem can be solved by automation but in many industries the need for flexibility, both with regard to what is handled and how it is handled excludes that solution.

Automation usually also involves a general redesign of the complete handling system which can be a very costly and complex operation.
