Safe and Efficient Drum Handling at Jacobi Resins
At Jacobi Resins’ production facility in Finland, safety and ergonomics are key priorities. By introducing a TAWI vacuum lifter for drum handling, the company has successfully improved both efficiency and employee well-being in its daily operations.
Improving workplace ergonomics with the TAWI drum lifter
The company, part of the international Jacobi Group, employs 53 professionals across production, administration, and product development. Jacobi Resins specializes in chromatographic separation resins and specialty polymers, with over 90% of its production exported worldwide—mainly to Asia, North America, and Europe.
The challenge: Heavy manual drum handling
Before introducing TAWI’s lifting solution, employees manually handled heavy drums weighing up to 200 pounds. This demanding work created physical strain and potential safety risks for the team. The company started to seek a more ergonomic and efficient way to manage drum handling.
The solution: TAWI ergonomic vacuum lifter
To address these challenges, Jacobi Resins implemented a TAWI vacuum lifter for drum handling in November 2024. The installation and start-up process went smoothly, and the equipment quickly became an essential part of production.
The drum lifter quickly proved to be a highly effective tool in daily operations. It enables operators to lift and move drums effortlessly and safely, eliminating the need for manual handling. The risk of hand and finger injuries has been significantly reduced, and the lifter’s intuitive design makes it easy for all employees to use—regardless of experience.
The results: Safer, more efficient, and motivated employees
Since adopting the TAWI drum lifter, Jacobi Resins has noticed clear improvements in workplace ergonomics and overall safety. Employees have been very satisfied with the new solution, and feedback has been entirely positive.
The company’s experience demonstrates how even a small investment in ergonomic technology can make a big difference—improving both safety and employee well-being while boosting motivation and efficiency.
Jacobi Resins plans to continue investing in safe and efficient working methods to ensure that every employee can perform their work comfortably and effectively.
