The recent acquisition of Auramo Oy and Brudi by Bolzoni S.p.A now gives the BOLZONI-AURAMO group the possibility of offering to the market one of the widest range of attachments for forklifts.

Apart from the range traditionally offered (side shifts, fork positioners, parallel clamps, rotators) the group now offers a complete line of attachments for pulp and paper handling applications, covering the most diversified needs.

In fact, the Finnish-based Auramo Oy has developed a special "philosophy" of the handling cycle of paper, taking care of any phase of transportation, from production to the end user: it is not just a matter of producing a tool to move the rolls, but to care about products, avoiding damage to the product or to detect and monitor the damages.

THE RANGE
The range of paper roll clamps offers capacities from 1300 kg up to 12,000 kg and is articulated in the following versions:

- Rotating paper roll clamps, with single arm for handling one roll or split long arm for handling super jumbo rolls or up to 4 rolls at the same time. In most models the rotation is 180° obtained by cylinders with racks and central pinion. This ensures two main advantages:
a) very fast rotation,
b) certainty of always stocking rolls perfectly vertical, avoiding damage to edges.

- Tilting paper roll clamps, for horizontal and vertical handling of the rolls (for example, unloading a train wagon and stocking the rolls vertically).

- Rotating and tilting paper roll clamps, representing the most versatile solution for all types of handling.

- Non rotating paper roll clamps for handling several units, both on top of each other and side by side.

- Paper roll clamps with parallel arms, still designed to handle several rolls.

- The contact pads are one of the most critical items, as they must ensure the most effective grip without damages to the rolls. The range offered is very wide, in order to cover handling the most common types of paper:
- cast pads, for the softer paper grades,
- steel-sprayed pads, good for practically all paper grades,
- rubber-faced pads, for more delicate paper,
- polyurethane-faced pads, for a non-marking handling,
- tissue pads, characterized by oversized rubber surface for the safe handling of this soft type of paper.

THE COMPLEMENTS TO THE RANGE
Just to give a deeper idea about the philosophy of the paper handling, we want to list some specific products:

- The intelligent clamp, equipped with electronic devices automatically adjusting the clamping force to the minimum suitable pressure for the handling of the roll, thus minimizing the damages and the out-of-round to the rolls. The intelligent clamps come from 10 years experience and use the latest microprocessors technologies.

- The "Spider", is an electronic device to exactly measure the out-of- roundness of the rolls. The measurements can be visualized by connecting the device to a monitor or computer.

- The "Spy" is an acceleration measurement device. Practically it measures and records all the incidents directed to the load (practically the shocks) which can be downloaded on a PC for analysis.

- Corner guards, to protect the rolls stocked near the aisles in the warehouses.

- Preset pressure relief valves and mast tilt indicator, for a perfectly vertical stocking of rolls.
