Smarter, Safer Material Handling for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Dalmec Australia provides advanced manipulators that eliminate manual lifting, reduce Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) risks and improve operational efficiency across pharmaceutical manufacturing, packaging and distribution facilities. From raw material drums and ingredient bags to intermediate bulk containers, cartons and finished products, pharmaceutical operations require precise handling while maintaining strict quality standards. Dalmec manipulators allow operators to guide loads in a pneumatically balanced, near weightless state, removing the physical strain associated with repetitive lifting and positioning tasks. By improving ergonomics and reducing hazardous manual handling, pharmaceutical manufacturers can create safer workplaces while supporting compliance with Safe Work Australia guidance and maintaining consistent production standards.
6 Key Reasons Why Australian Companies Have Chosen Dalmec Zero Gravity Load Handling
Your operators guide the load. Dalmec carries it.
Every manipulator holds the load in a pneumatically balanced state, allowing operators to lift, transfer and position pharmaceutical materials with exceptional control while eliminating physical effort.
Designed and Built in Italy
Every Dalmec manipulator is engineered and manufactured in Cles, Italy. With more than 90,000 installations worldwide since 1963, Dalmec remains the original manufacturer and global leader in pneumatic manipulation technology.
Eliminate Manual Handling Injuries
Manual handling of ingredient bags, drums and containers can expose workers to unnecessary physical strain. Dalmec removes the weight from the task, helping businesses reduce hazardous manual handling risks and support safer operations.
Retain Your Best People
Reducing repetitive lifting allows skilled operators to remain productive throughout every shift while improving comfort and long-term workforce retention.
