Thanks to the precision with which they are designed and manufactured, Stemm orange peel grabs and clamshell grabs have a remarkable service life, which is increased by the different services offered by Stemm: renewal plans, repairs, etc. One of the highlights is the possibility of having interchangeable joints.

Stemm's interchangeable joints allow the same grab body to be used for different materials and densities, multiplying each machine's applications, increasing its versatility, and maximizing its profitability. In this article, we explore how these joints can transform the way you view your industrial equipment, maximize its service life, and provide flexibility.

Interchangeable joints: maximizing profitability

Enabling selective replacement of grabs and grabs joints offers several advantages that redefine the industry's durability and efficiency standards. The main advantage of interchangeable joints on orange peel grabs and clamshell grabs is the noticeable extension of equipment life. Instead of replacing the entire unit when an essential part wears out or fails, the owning company can replace the affected grabs, resulting in significant savings in downtime, as it is a more streamlined activity than manufacturing from scratch. This approach is more economical and promotes sustainable practices by reducing the amount of waste generated by premature machine obsolescence.

In addition to increased durability, interchangeable joints offer unprecedented flexibility. Orange peel and clamshell grabs equipped with this system can adapt to different tasks and working conditions by changing grapples. This versatility improves productivity by enabling an agile response to the changing demands of the working environment. It optimizes resource utilization by ensuring each machine perfectly matches specific weight and density requirements.

The gripper exchange process becomes less complex and more efficient by reducing design and manufacturing lead times, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational availability.
