New suction cups offer a combination of lips and bellows

The piGRIP™ suction cup is a new innovative product from Piab, a leading supplier of industrial vacuum technology equipment

The piGRIP™ suction cup is a new innovative product from Piab, a leading supplier of industrial vacuum technology equipment. It is the first modular suction cup on the market, allowing companies to choose the ideal combination of lip and bellow to optimise the pick-up and movement of different weight products with different surface finishes using suction.

The choice of different sizes and materials allows the suction cups to be matched perfectly for every application, allowing machines the flexibility of handling a wide variety of different items. Versions are also available in FDA approved materials certificated for the food industry, making them ideal for applications where direct food contact is necessary.

Matching the cup and bellow to the specific application means that more often than not, packaging lines can handle products at much higher speeds, increasing productivity and also save a significant amount of energy by reducing the vacuum needed to the ideal level for any product.
