Paper Roll
Clamps specialized for paper rolls through mills, warehouses, newspaper
publishing plants, printing houses, converting houses, harbors, forwarding companies
and converting facilities.
Ten
objects that look like snails after packing are Paper Roll Clamps. SINOLIFT are
going to send them to our customers in Turkey. These Paper Roll Clamps can
weigh up to 1000kg, and in order to protect them better in transit, we use iron
pallets and pack them in many layers. During the whole loading process, our
sales manager, Moy, has been carefully and patiently arranged.
A roll
clamp truck is similar to a forklift, but instead of forks, it has a special
hydraulic clamp attachment for handling rolls of paper. Clamp trucks are
essential for moving large paper rolls throughout the supply chain. From the
time a roll of paper comes off the winder to when it is delivered to the
converting equipment, which is often in a separate facility, a single roll can
be handled as many as 15 times. Each time the roll is touched, there is an
opportunity for damage to occur, so it is important to use the right clamp
truck and follow proper handling procedures to prevent damage.
Here are
some questions about how to use Paper Roll Clamps properly:
1. How is
roll damage prevented when handling paper rolls?
Damage can
be minimized by wrapping the roll with a protective outer layer, selecting and
maintaining the right equipment, following standard handling procedures, and by
avoiding any unnecessary handling of rolls.
2. How is
the proper roll clamp truck selected?
The proper
equipment depends on the roll weight, width, and diameter, the paper type, and
handling and storage requirements.
3. What is
the clamp force factor?
The clamp
force factor is used to determine how much force can be applied to a roll
without causing damage. It is the ratio of the clamping force to the weight of
the roll.
4. What
are common roll damage categories?
Most
damage falls into the following 4 categories: structural (e.g. out of round),
end, edge, and belly damage.
5. How can
out of round rolls be prevented?
From an
equipment standpoint you should ensure the clamps pads are in good condition
and the appropriate clamping force is applied.
