BPM Manipulators Ensure Safe, Balanced, and Precise Handling of Ceramics, Washbasins, and Toilets in Production Lines
Handling Challenges and Safety Needs in Ceramic Production
Ceramic and vitreous products are both heavy and fragile, requiring high attention and balance during transport.
Manual handling carries the risk of surface damage and causes operator fatigue.
BPM Industrial Manipulators provide pneumatic handling solutions that eliminate these challenges on vitreous production lines.
The system moves products without scratches, drops, or effort; operators can safely position washbasins, toilets, ceramic panels, or lids single-handedly.
Vitreous Product Handling Technology with BPM Manipulators
The system uses pneumatic balancing to neutralize the load weight.
The operator only guides the product while the pneumatic system keeps it balanced.
This ensures fast handling without damaging the surface.

Twin-Rope Models – For Medium and Fragile Products
Twin-rope PM models are ideal for transporting medium-weight and delicate vitreous products.
The pneumatic balancing system makes the load “weightless” and prevents surface damage.
-
BPM Transporter – Up to 120 kg
Ideal for quickly moving light to medium ceramic products.
Advantage: Rapid cycles, easy operation, high maneuverability with vacuum or pneumatic gripper.
-
BPM Helpful – Up to 180 kg
Perfect for medium-weight items like washbasins, toilets, and ceramic lids.
Advantage: Pneumatic balancing eliminates operator effort; scratch-free, balanced handling.
Application: Glazing lines, packaging areas, quality control stations.
Rigid-Arm Models – For Heavy and Large Vitreous Products
Rigid-arm BPM manipulators provide maximum stability for large and heavy vitreous items.
The load moment is transferred directly onto the arm, resulting in vibration-free, controlled, and durable operation.
-
BPM Forceful – Up to 450 kg
Ideal for heavy toilet bodies, large washbasins, and ceramic blocks.
Advantage: Safe vertical–horizontal rotation (0°–90°), high stability, precise positioning, long-lasting performance.
