Material Handling & Packaging

Dynatect’s cable/hose carrier solutions are idea for load containment processes like palletizers, stretch wrappers, and strapping systems. Pictured is a Wulftec high-throughput automatic strapping machine featuring Dynatect’s plastic cable carrier cable carrier which supports high-speed, vertical mounting, durability, and is self-supporting.

Dynatect’s bellows are ideal for automated positioning equipment – including heavy duty applications. Pictured here is a hydraulic lift used in a Northern Canada’s wet, cold outdoor environment servicing mining railroad cars. It is critical that the bellows (yellow and black) remain pliable and durable in this extreme application to protect operators from the lift mechanisms, while also protecting the mechanisms from dirt, debris, and foreign objects.

Dynatect’s VF Doors are ideal for unit load formation equipment like palletizers, stretch wrappers, and strapping systems. These processes often present hazards to nearby personnel and need a physical barrier like the vertical fabric safety door – light curtains will not sufficiently contain the process. While manual gates or doors slow down an entire process, Dynatect’s automated doors move up to 44”/second so that product can be loaded/unloaded quickly, then be re-secured to keep the operator safe during an automated process. These photos show a pallet handling process ((by Xigent Automation Systems)) with an Automated Machine Safety Door installed at the entrance of the robotic cell where pallets are conveyed into the building for automated pallet restacking.

Polyclutch slip clutches offer an added level of safety and protection to both the machine and its operators. Pneumatic (Slip-Aire) clutches can have tension adjusted during operation.

Dynatect’s cable/hose carrier solutions are idea for transport equipment (conveyors, cranes, industrial trucks), positioning equipment (lift/tilt/turn-tables, hoists, balancers, manipulators, jack lifts, dock levelers, dock locks, jack lifts), unit load formation equipment (palletizers, stretch wrappers), and storage equipment (carousels, automatic storage/retrieval systems, delivery systems). Pictured here is a three-axis mast lift system featuring Dynatect’s modular cable carrier servicing both the horizontal and vertical axis. Dynatect’s Nylatrac cable carrier is ideal for applications where modular construction, snap-in plastic crossbars, and weight are critical. Photo courtesy of Handling Specialty Manufacturing Ltd.

Cranes are a critical material handling application. Large crane rigs often feature hydraulic cylinders, which are required to operate with long service life between maintenance and inspection periods. The original bellows in this application were not lasting due to sagging. Dynatect was brought in to engineer a better bellows design which included stiffer neoprene nylon, a better extended to retracted ratio, and easier installation. Dynatect provided a durable sewn bellows designed to withstand outdoor conditions and heavy grease lubricant from within. The zipper feature is essential for installation and future access.

Safety Meets Style-Facility managers at this cosmetics manufacturing plant faced a challenge: the exposed scissor lift mechanism (upper left) was a concern for both safety and aesthetics. Dynatect partnered with their team to design custom-engineered LiftGuard bellows that fit perfectly on their existing platform. These were tailored for unique mounting requirements, the ideal ratio of extended-to-compressed dimensions, and durability for this industrial environment.

The result? A safer, cleaner, and more professional look that checks every box.
