A Lode Arm Solves Material Handling Problems with Blood Buckets

A beef packing plant needed a safe solution to smoothly handle the payload of its blood buckets. One problem is that the buckets are equipped with very sharp spikes extending at a downward angle from each side to hold it in place. The bucket is not only heavy when it is full, but also the sharp spikes present a danger to the employees handling the bucket. Also, since the contents are liquid, spills are always a concern. The application must work in a food processing area that must be washed down daily with hot, soapy water from a high-pressure washer. Learn how a lode arm solved these material-handling problems.
