Distribution and storage of the Covid-19 vaccinations have posed major logistical challenges in the battle against the virus. The vaccinations must be packed in dry ice during transportation, and for distributors who don’t have ultra-low-temperature freezers, dry ice can also be used to maintain vaccine integrity for up to 30 days after delivery.
Mohler Material Handling had a customer reach out to them with a need to improve the ergonomics of their dry ice workflow.
Solution:
Utilizing conveyors from Mohler Material Handling, with aluminum framing and pneumatics from JHF, our team built a simple solution for this problem. The bin tipper smoothly conveys and rotates 140 lb. dry ice tubs.
Impact:
We are proud of these simple machines and the support they offer to behind-the-scenes workers who are making Covid-19 vaccination a reality. Ergonomic equipment makes their jobs less strenuous and protects them from injury, and we would love to create more solutions to help!
