Suction cup for efficient bag handling
PIAB's new BL40-5 suction cup is designed for pick and place applications, mainly in the food industry, and optimized to handle difficult bags. With difficult bags we mean bags that are filled with liquids, heavy bags with material that is not in one piece e.g. heavy pet food bags, bags with frozen food etc.
Thanks to the very thin lip of the suction cup, the sealing properties between the lip and the bag/food will be very good. As you will have a more secured grip it will be possible to increase the packing speed and have fewer planned and unplanned stoppages. The bellow will compensate for different levels, if the products to be picked are not homogeneous.
The silicone material of the suction cup complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.2660, giving you have the flexibility to use the same cup for lifting bags as for lifting the food directly.
