Paper and Pulp case study: BSLBATT lithium battery helps KALMAR
Do you work in a paper or corrugated packaging plant? Are you looking for a solution that powers your workload? Historically, the paper and pulp industry uses diesel forklifts. This is mainly because this industry requires higher equipment capacity. Although it was once a diesel-focused industry, we are pleased to announce that the KALMAR ECG80-6 electric forklift can replace a diesel engine. Thanks to the unique lithium battery...
How lithium-ion forklift batteries are a game-changer for the paper and packaging industry
Industry Challenge A typical paper roll may be loaded, transported, and unloaded 4-16 times on its way from the paper mill to the printing press. All stages of this transport chain require powerful, dedicated handling equipment to minimize downtime and operating costs. Newsprint, coated paper, craft, or linerboard – high-volume, uninterrupted processing of paper rolls, pulp, and waste bales requires powerful equipment. The power...
New generation of Signal Towers are brighter and simpler to order and maintain
Signal tower lights play a critical role in protecting the safety of people and equipment in manufacturing and process control environments, providing visual and audible indications of system status and alerts of dangerous conditions. They are relatively simple devices, but until recently, they have been notoriously difficult to configure, order and stock because of the proliferation of different sizes and options to meet the wide...
How can Port Terminal Operators save money on Heavy-Duty Forklift Equipment?
Port Sustainability: Delivering Clean Energy and Performance to Ports In port and terminal operations, having trucks to ensure that cargo can be shipped in volume and in a timely manner is key. For example, with the advent of large ships carrying more than 23,000 TEU, the terminal generates a lot of activity. Additionally, in the current environment, having an efficient fleet of high-capacity electric forklifts may help manage costs...
Ambassador Spotlight: Lithium battery is the best power source for a paper roll to be moved on the way from the paper mill to the printing machine.
Forklifts are an invaluable part of a paper manufacturer’s production process and for good reason. A typical paper roll may need to be loaded, transported, and unloaded five to twenty times over the course of its life cycle, from the paper mill to the printing press. Understandably, dedicated, powerful processing equipment is required at every stage of this transport chain, regardless of the type of paper being processed –...
