According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, more than one million workers suffer from back
injuries each year. This type of injury accounts for one
of every five occupational injuries. A recent study determined
that up to one-third of back injuries could be prevented
through better equipment design. The MAGMA™ Series
melter/applicator design offers a safe, simple solution
to the loading process. To minimize fatigue and potential
back injury, all MAGMA's™
are designed so that the average operator between the height
of 5’5” and 5’7” will lift no more
than chest high and will not reach out over fenders.
The MAGMA's™
ergonomic Quick-Close™ angled doors
provide splash-proof loading because the door is closed
when the sealant block falls into the tank. The angled door
system is designed so that back posture is correct throughout
the process.
