In the industrial sector, ensuring safety and efficiency, especially when handling volatile or flammable materials, is of prime importance. Grotnes, a trusted name in custom machinery fabrication, presents its range of steel pail closing tools, crafted to enhance operational efficiency while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Our closing tools can significantly speed up the process of sealing pails, increasing the number of units that can be processed within a given timeframe. For high-volume operations, the time savings can translate into substantial increases in productivity. And because our closing tools are inventoried for quick turnaround time, orders can be fulfilled as fast as one to two days through our online store.
Let’s delve into our various sealing solutions and how they contribute to greater production volume, better ergonomics and enhanced safety.
The Manual Closer: Combining Simplicity and Strength
Grotnes’ manual closing tool is a testament to engineering designed for ease of use without compromising on durability. Capable of closing lids ranging from 6-1/2” to 13-15/16” in diameter (the lid’s inner diameter), depending on chosen model, these tools can handle lids for drums weighing up to 120 pounds. Created from aluminum alloy for lighter gauge covers and robust steel for the heavier UN gauges, they provide an adaptable solution for various industrial needs.
Streamlining with Safety
Not only do these tools promise efficiency with their versatility, but they also offer a safer sealing process for operators handling caustic or volatile materials, such as solvents, chemicals and paint, with brass, sparkless options available for all closing tool models.
Ergonomic Benefits
Manual closing by other methods can be physically demanding and potentially lead to repetitive strain injuries. The lightweight design of our tools reduces operator fatigue, making the process less physically demanding. Moreover, maintaining these tools is straightforward:
1. Regular cleaning of the jaws prevents improper closures.
2. Weekly lubrication of moving parts ensures smooth operation.
3. Checking spider bolts for secure fastening avoids unexpected downtime.
In aiding our customers, we offer diagrams, manuals, spare parts and ongoing support, if needed.
Cost Efficiency
Grotnes values our customers’ investment. Because of this, we offer competitive pricing upon request and generous quantity discounts for bulk purchases of same-size tools.
The Semi-Automatic Steel Pail Closer: Speed Meets Precision
Moving toward automation, we offer semi-automatic closing tools that blend speed with precision. These air-operated tools come with a dual-hand control unit, enhancing operator safety by requiring intentional engagement.
Versatile and Rapid
With the ability to seal pails ranging from 1 to 7 gallons at a rate of up to five pails per minute, these tools are not just efficient but also adaptable. The interchangeable heads can accommodate both steel and plastic pails, offering a one-size-fits-all solution.
Fully Automatic Steel Pail Closer with Optional Scale
At the forefront of Grotnes’ innovation is the fully automatic steel pail closer. Positioned after the filling station, it seamlessly integrates into the production line. As pails are filled and lidded, this machine takes over, automatically sealing them and conveying them downstream.
Adaptive and Efficient
The closing head adjusts to various pail heights, from 1 to 16 gallons, and the tooling can be swapped to handle different types of covers. Designed to meet specific client needs, Grotnes draws on more than 125 years of expertise to tailor these machines to your operational requirements.
