What are the advantages of using vacuum handling?
Using vacuum lifters offers you, at least, four main advantages :
1 – Fast speed of operating
In one second the vacuum contained in a vacuum tank is transmitted to the pad; sucking is instantaneous . In two seconds the vacuum in the pad returned to atmospheric pressure; the releasing is instantaneous.
2 – Safety
The vacuum of a lifter is always coming from a tank. This reserve maintains load several hours in case of power cut of the vacuum pump.
The vacuum level is permanently controlled. A sensor indicates the eventuality of a leak and when the load must be released. As long as vacuum is existing in the pad the load cannot drop. This is a physical rule.
3 – Financial
The use of a vacuum lifter allows a reduction of employees on stocking areas. The sucking and releasing can be done by only one man : the crane conductor. In many cases, it is possible to reduce the number of workers having hard and dangerous work. Cost save also exists in the speed as handling with vacuum devices is very quick.
Vacuum handling device leaves no marks on product and allows handling of delicate material.
4 – Easy lifting
As vacuum pads act on the upper side, the positionning becomes easy, as well as the picking, placing and releasing. This is one of great advantage to use vacuum lifters for transport of loads.
