Lower in kick out handlers
Standalone lower-in handlers, also known as let-downs or stop-indexers, are essential components in the seamless operation of pipe handling systems. Designed to facilitate the loading of conveyors, pipe rotation units, and other equipment, these handlers adeptly lower pipes from a higher to a lower level for further processing, enhancing efficiency and safety in pipe handling operations.
Solution:
Lower-in handlers can be seamlessly integrated into inbound, intermediate, or outbound line equipment, catering to the diverse needs of pipe handling facilities. Typically deployed in pairs to accommodate the length of the pipes, these systems are configurable to the specific requirements of your plant, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with existing infrastructure.
Key Features:
- Base Frame Integration: Easily integrates into conveyor lines for streamlined operations.
- Lower-in Arm with Padding: Ensures gentle handling of pipes, minimizing the risk of damage.
- Hydraulic Operation: Provides robust and reliable lowering action, suitable for various pipe sizes.
- Polyamide Padding Material: Offers durable and protective support for pipes during handling.
Advantages:
- Versatility: Compatible with any pipe length or diameter, from inches up to 144″, including bespoke measurements.
- Operational Flexibility: Can operate in free mode (manual), semi-automatic, or fully-automatic modes, adapting to the specific needs of your facility.
- Safety and Efficiency: Reduces the need for cranes and manual labor, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
- Sustainability: Offers a sustainable alternative to heavy lifting equipment, with a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance and fuel consumption.
How It Works:
The lower-in handler operates through a hydraulic system that controls the movement of the lower-in arm. The system is equipped with sensors to detect the arm’s position and the approach of pipes, ensuring precise and synchronized operation with the control center system. Optional pipe detection sensors can further automate the process, allowing for efficient and accurate handling of pipes.
The Full Scope:
Lower-in handlers are versatile solutions that can be tailored to meet the unique demands of both less automated and more manually operated plants. Their ease of operation, low maintenance requirements, and compatibility with a wide range of pipe dimensions make them an ideal choice for diverse pipe handling applications.
Product Range:
- Standard Offer: A pair of lower-in handlers, with customization options available to accommodate specific plant requirements.
- Alternatives: Pipe-indexers for highly automated systems, with the lower-in system serving as an ideal solution for more manually operated environments.
- Automation: Hydraulically operated with optional pipe detection sensors for enhanced automation and integration.
