About Handling ADD
One material that is used for hard surfaces in homes, businesses, and even public buildings is ADD material. And one of the main tasks used to work with ADD is handling it. This includes both loading it, unloading it, positioning it on other equipment, and even placing it on fixtures where it will be worked. These tasks require engineered quartz equipment. In this article, we will take a look at what equipment is involved with fabricating ADD and we will touch on some other interesting points regarding it.
How is Material Handling Defined?
For ADD products, material handling involves many of the same concepts as other engineered quartz. But what exactly does that entail? For one, material handling involves simply storing ADD in a warehouse or a slab yard. Another part of material handling includes loading and unloading ADD for vehicles. Finally, when we say "material handling", we may be talking about maneuvering and/or positioning ADD slabs. This could be to cut the material or to finish it, either way, it is a facet of material handling.
ADD Products and Storage
Slabs in fabrication shops can sometimes sit for a period of time before they are used for creating a surface. That is where the storage aspect of material handling comes in. ADD slabs need to be kept somewhere when they are not being used. Fabricators make use of a ADD slab bundle rack to keep the slabs in until they are ready to use them.
ADD Transport Equipment
In a fabrication shop, slabs get moved from one location to another regularly. If workers were only able to carry ADD materials in slab form, think of how much more work it would take. Additionally, safety is factor as well. The more carrying that workers do, the more likely they are to become exhausted and then strength could become a factor. For situations where moving slabs of ADD are common, a double sided a frame for ADD or other product might be beneficial to have in the shop.
Equipment for Loading ADD
Working in a warehouse, slab yard, or fabrication shop means having to lift or hoist large lsabs of material repeatedly and it is no different when the material is ADD. Being able to get a good grip on the ADD slab can be the difference between success and failure. And with the right equipment, this is possible. One example of a piece of equipment designed to help workers get ahold of a ADD slab is a air only vacuum lifter. This machine, like others is designed to hold onto the material so it can be loaded or unloaded during the process of storage, delivery and/or fabrication.
In the end working with ADD is like working with any natural stone or other engineered quartz surface. It can be awkward and challenging to lift, position, load and unload. But having the proper equipment to handle it makes the work much easier to perform.
