Ware handling innovation granted patent recognition
UK-based Pennine Industrial Equipment Ltd has been granted a European patent (EP 3348497) for its Swiftlink head protector link.
This follows the company having already been granted a US patent (US 10,358,293 B2).
Swiftlink has been designed to provide a different style of head protector that not only creates an uninterrupted transfer surface during hot glass container handling but also provides the ability to connect a chain rapidly when combined with Pennine’s Pennlock system.
This type of chain has been designed to deal with the ware handling requirements of all types of glass containers and allows for reduced maintenance times due to the rapid connection system.
