These ingenious devices are the industry standard method for lifting basic loads such as paper sacks and cartons at around 25kg but their versatility allows them to go further- dealing with semi-porous materials such as timber and concrete at loads of more than 100kg. The vacuum allows the lifter to stick to the product and, as the vacuum level increases, it causes the lift tube to shrink thereby lifting the load. By careful matching of the tube area and suction foot area it is possible to ensure that, in the event of a power failure, the tube will always lower the load before it drops the load from the foot- thus making it an inherently safe product. Suspended from either simple jibs or more extensive rail systems, appropriate areas of the factory can be covered to give the manual handling help required. For the food and pharmaceutical industries we have a range of stainless steel units of the standard expected in these demanding applications.
