Pneumatic Assisted Handling System – MANUPAC

Pneumatic Assisted Handling System – MANUPAC

The MANUPAC pneumatic assisted handling system has been developed to simplify and optimize lifting and handling operations in industrial environments. By combining vacuum lifting technology with pneumatic assistance, it enables operators to easily handle heavy or bulky loads such as panels, doors, plasterboards or industrial components, while significantly reducing physical effort.
Robust, ergonomic and reliable, this system provides an ideal solution for repetitive handling operations, palletizing and depalletizing, while improving both workplace safety and productivity.

1. Ergonomics and Ease of Use

The MANUPAC system is designed to provide smooth and intuitive handling. Its lightweight and well-balanced design allows operators to move loads with minimal effort.
The system mainly consists of:

• a turbine vacuum unit generating the required vacuum level
• a flexible lifting tube (TDL – Lifting Tube) with smooth sleeves at each end, providing excellent freedom of movement
• an ergonomic suction head equipped with a control handle

These components ensure precise and comfortable handling, reducing operator fatigue during intensive use.

2. High Lifting Capacity

The system is designed to handle loads of up to 250 kg, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
It can be installed on different support structures, such as:

• wall-mounted jib crane
• pillar mounted jib cranes
• suspended monorail system
• Ceiling-mounted crane on existing structure
• Pillar-mounted jib crane overhead crane

This flexibility allows easy integration into production workshops, logistics warehouses or industrial processing lines.

3. Versatility and Motion Control

The system can be equipped with a manual or pneumatic tilting mechanism up to 90°, allowing the load position to be adapted according to the application.
This function is particularly useful for:

• handling panels in horizontal or vertical positions
• feeding machines or panel saws
• precise positioning of products on pallets or workstations

This versatility enables the system to be used in many different industrial configurations.

4. Industrial Safety and Reliability

To ensure safe and durable operation, the MANUPAC system integrates several safety devices:

• anti-drop safety valve, maintaining the load in case of accidental vacuum loss
• dust filtration unit with cartridge filter, protecting the turbine and vacuum circuit from particles
• suction pads adapted to the handled product, ensuring a stable and secure grip

These features guarantee a high level of safety and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.

A High-Performance Solution for Industrial Handling

The MANUPAC pneumatic assisted handling system combines ergonomics, safety and performance to improve lifting operations. Its robust design and versatility make it an ideal solution for optimizing production flows while protecting operators.
