Handling Hams

Companies producing sausages and hams are generally equipped with automatic lines that end with a packaging machine for packing the hams into a plastic net, as the machie s produced by Tecnobrianza in Italy.

Every 20 seconds, the packaging machine releases 1 hanger with 4 bresaole. The worker has to pick up the hanger and place it on a cart. The weight of each bresaola varies from 4 kg to 12 kg each for a total weight of the hanger to be handled ranging from about 17 to 49 kg including the weight of the empty hanger.

Each day it is necessary to lift and move about 4500/5000 bresaolas; given the high weight of the load to be handled, the frequency and speed with which the operation is to be performed, it is necessary to equip the workplace of a manual load handling aid in order to reduce the effort for the operator and to ensure safety and ergonomics.
