Vacuum Handling

For products that need to remain in position along a conveyor line, such as lightweight empty plastic milk bottles that are required to remain upright or flat technical or electronic components that need to remain in the same orientation, a vacuum conveyor is the solution.

​

Our conveyors are designed and manufactured to suit a variety of applications. They can rise and fall where needed and are optimised for large open factory environments or enclosed areas with limited space, such as cleanrooms.

​

Holes in the belt allow air to be drawn through due to the channel underneath causing a negative pressure, or suction due to compressed air vacuum pumps. The product creates the seal over the perforations and therefore stays in position.

​

They are used across various manufacturing industries, including  healthcare, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and electronics.

 

Key Operational Benefits

​

• Secure holding of parts for inspection, photographs and digital cataloguing

​

• Ideally suited to lightweight plastics or thin materials, flat or small parts

​

• High-density (HDPE) plastic bottles are very lightweight but need to be held upright for the entire process

​

• Part and package infeed and outfeed speed matching

​

• Printing onto products that need to keep the same orientation

​

• Manual or automated assembly where parts are positioned accurately
