EROWA UPCThe widely spaced support surfaces of the UPC chuck make the palletizing system extremely tilt-proof. The pallet is pre-centered with chucking spigots. Then four robust centering segments take over to ensure precise positioning in the pallet und chuck. Compressed air is used for opening and cleaning. The closure generates a pull-down force of 50,000 N.
