Electrohydraulic Tong Grabs for Handling Straw Bales

Efficiency and safety in handling straw bales and other agricultural residues are essential in the renewable energy and biomass generation industry. An innovative and technologically advanced solution is the electro-hydraulic clamp, designed to facilitate these tasks with precision and robustness. 

Advantages of Electrohydraulic Tong Grabs for Agricultural Tasks

Electrohydraulic tong grabs have become a handy tool for streamlining and easing the handling of agricultural materials. Their design combines hydraulic strength with precise electric control, enabling efficient and safe manipulation of rectangular bales, agricultural waste, grass, and other light or heavy materials.

Electrohydraulic tong grabs improve productivity and ensure operational safety by reducing the risk of accidents and minimising damage to loads. Compared to other lifting methods, such as traditional forks or manual grabs, electrohydraulic tong grabs offer greater precision, less human effort, and a notable reduction in operation times. In other words, they lead to more efficient and safer operations.

The Stemm Model 11.0080

The Stemm model 11.0080 is a standout example of electrohydraulic tong grabs. It is distinguished by its advanced features and robust design, which can withstand up to 6 million cycles at maximum load.

This equipment is ideal for handling rectangular bales, agricultural waste, grass, and light waste, among other materials. The versatility of the model 11.0080 allows it to be used in various agro-industrial applications. Its compact and horizontally balanced design facilitates handling and ensures stability during operation, which is crucial for work efficiency and safety.

The structure of model 11.0080 is made of high-elastic-limit steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance under demanding conditions. The jaws are electro-welded and feature reinforcement ribs synchronised with a mechanical self-centring mechanism, optimising grip and automatic material centring.

The model 11.0080 features a gripping system with detachable and adjustable tongues and penetration claws, offering flexibility and adaptability in handling different loads. Its unique double suspension, central and with two shackle rings, enhances safety and stability during lifting.

This model prioritises load security, as the package can never fall, ensuring the integrity of the material and the operator's safety. Moreover, it is maintenance-free and requires no lubrication, reducing operational costs and downtime. The hydraulic cylinders are fully protected, increasing the system's durability and reliability.

Other notable features include a low-noise level pump (75 dB), which minimises noise pollution in the workplace, and a pollution-free oil tank, hermetically sealed and protected from environmental impurities, contributing to the equipment's sustainability and efficiency. The FG46 food-grade compatible medicinal hydraulic oil ensures smooth and safe operation.

The design and construction of model 11.0080 comply with norms that guarantee compliance with international safety and quality standards. The finite element fatigue calculation (ANSYS) ensures the design's robustness and longevity. Finally, the ISO 9001 quality management procedure and the EC Declaration of Conformity certify manufacturing excellence and regulatory compliance.
