Globe's engineering team noticed that distribution centers were using bent metal makeshift tools to unjam packages on conveyor systems. Sometimes the bent metal ends were welded or fastened and the sharp edges of the tool punctured the package or damaged the product. These makeshift tools aren’t easy to repair, causes product damage and are not safe for package handlers or employees.  Globe has created three different jam break products to address issues commonly encountered when using makeshift tool used at distribution centers.  And, Globe's jam break products provide an ergonomic solution to increase operational performance and enhance employee safety. Made with Brandonite® 1000-75D material, Globe's jam break products can withstand extreme wear and tear normally encountered at distribution centers, airports and warehouses.  Since not every situation is the same, Globe has designed three different tools to help unjam packages, parcels, baggage and other items typically found on conveyors... #### **Large Sort Jam Break Pole** Designed for demanding conveyor applications, the Large Sort Jam Break Pole is a rugged, lightweight tool to clear the toughest jams.   ![large sort jam break Shepherd's Hook Conveyor jam](https://www.globecomposite.com/hs-fs/hubfs/large%20sort%20head%20closeup%201.jpg?width=320&name=large%20sort%20head%20closeup%201.jpg "large sort jam break Shepherd's Hook Conveyor jam") **Large Rounded Head Reduces Package Damage **The unique 7" (17.8 cm) tall x 7-1/4" (18.4 cm) wide rounded head soesn't have any sharp corners and greatly reduces package damage and provides an ergonomic solution to increase operational performance and worker safety.  As with all Globe jam break products, the Large Sort Jam Break pole head is made of Globe's Brandonite® elastomeric material to provide years of trouble-free use.  **Heavy Duty Pole Also Available** The standard Large Sort Jam Break Pole has a 1" (2.5 cm) diameter aluminum pole that comes in an 8' (244 cm) length.  For even more demanding applications, the heavy duty Large Sort Jam Break Pole has a 1-5/16" (3.3 cm) diameter heavy schedule (1/8" thick) aluminum pole version. #### **Small Sort Jam Break Pole** ![small sort jam break pole conveyor package jam](https://www.globecomposite.com/hs-fs/hubfs/small%20sort%20head%20angle-1.jpg?width=320&name=small%20sort%20head%20angle-1.jpg "small sort jam break pole conveyor package jam")Designed for small to medium weight conveyor applications, the Small Sort Jam Break Pole is a compact tool to clear jams or re-direct packages in close quarters.   **Lightweight Head Reduces Fatigue and Package Damage **For lighter duty applications, the small sort jam break pole that has a 5" (12.7 cm) tall x 2" (5.1 cm) wide Brandonite® head and comes in three pole lengths:   - 2' (70 cm) long x 3/4" (1.9 cm) diameter   - 3' (91.4 cm) long x 3/4" (1.9 cm) diameter   - 4' (121.9 cm) long x 3/4" (1.9 cm) diameter As with all Globe jam break products, the Small Sort Jam Break pole head is made of Globe's Brandonite® elastomeric material to provide years of trouble-free use. #### **Shoot Poker Jam Break Pole** ![Shoot poker jam break pole conveyor jam Shepherd's Hook](https://www.globecomposite.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shoot%20poker%20head.jpg?width=320&name=shoot%20poker%20head.jpg "Shoot poker jam break pole conveyor jam Shepherd's Hook")Do you have overhead roller conveyors that need to be unjammed from underneath the conveyor?  Do package jams occur in heard-to-reach locations on your roller conveyor? Globe has specially designed the Shoot Poker Jam Break Pole that allows the head to easily fit between standard conveyor rollers.   **Thin, Strong & Flexible Head to Reach Roller Conveyor Jams **Globe has specially designed the Shoot Poker Jam Break Pole that allows the head to easily fit between standard conveyor rollers.  Made with our elastomeric and resilient Brandonite®  material, you can twist and turn the Shoot Poker head and not damage or break it. The head size is 6 13/16" (42.7 cm) wide " x 13" (33 cm) long x 1/4" (.64 cm) thick and comes with a sturdy 8' (243.8 cm) long x 1-5/16" (3.3 cm) diameter heavy schedule (1/8" thick) aluminum pole.  #### **Which Jam Break Pole is Right for You?** Not sure which model best suites your need?   **[Click Here to request a free sample for you to test](https://www.globecomposite.com/jam-break-tool-conveyor-package-parcel-baggage). **   Topics: [Airports](https://www.globecomposite.com/blog/topic/airports), [Product Showcase](https://www.globecomposite.com/blog/topic/product-showcase), [Material Handling](https://www.globecomposite.com/blog/topic/material-handling), [Transportation](https://www.globecomposite.com/blog/topic/transportation) ![Globe Composite](https://www.globecomposite.com/hs-fs/hubfs/favicon-1.png?width=50&height=50&name=favicon-1.png) #### Written by [Globe Composite](https://www.globecomposite.com/blog/author/globe-composite) Globe Composite Solutions is a full-service, ISO 9001:2015 certified, Design-to-Manufacturing company.
