Materials processing workstation MPL/APL

for workshopsheight-adjustablelifting

Description
The APL automatic workstation elevator is a stable and compact lifting device specifically designed for manual sorting stations within waste treatment and recycling plants. Driven by an electronic control card paired with a hydraulic linear unit system, it allows immediate height adjustment to perfectly match the morphology of each sorting operator. Featuring a precise 150 mm height adjustment range, the APL series is the ideal solution to drastically reduce strain and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) on high-throughput sorting lines.

Industrial Advantages

• Ergonomics & Occupational Health : The millimeter-accurate adjustment ensures a healthy posture for all operators, directly boosting productivity and daily comfort inside sorting cabins
• High-Stability Lifting Kinematics : The device features a heavy-duty lower chassis firmly anchored to the facility's structural framework, supporting 4 independent linear units (cylinder + linear guide system) powered by an integrated hydraulic group
• Optimized Acoustic Comfort : Thanks to high-grade insulation and premium components, the A-weighted sound pressure level remains below 65 dB(A) at 1 meter during operation, exempting the facility from any specific noise-reduction measures
• Safety & Compliance : The equipment strictly complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU

Options & Accessories

• 90° Configuration: Features a drop chute conveniently located on both sides of the operator (to their immediate right and left)
• 45° Configuration : An enlarged version maximizing legroom and under-chute foot clearance

Applications

• Commingled Recycling Sorting Plants (MRF): Posture customization for operators manual-sorting plastic bottles, beverage cans, and liquid packaging boards.
• Municipal Solid Waste Facilities (MSW) : Improving working conditions at quality control or final sorting cabins.
• Commercial & Industrial Waste Lines (C&I) : Ideal for picking stations targeting bulky waste, wood, paperboard, and scrap metals.
