Suction pads for food manufacturing processes that support various workpiece shapes and materials

If you have this problem

• Problem 01

  Cannot properly grip liquid-filled bags or pouches.

• Problem 02

  Concerned about using pads due to worry of foreign object contamination from pad fragments.

• Problem 03

  Want to know about various suction pads that can be used in food manufacturing processes.

To solve these issues

Suction Pad for Packaging Bags VSP-□PB Series

The VSP-□PB Series provides high conformity to workpieces and stabilizes their orientation during transport. It can securely grip a wide range of bagged items, including liquid-filled bags and pouches.

■ Two types of anti-suction adapters available
The anti-suction adapters are available in a spherical type and a flat type. You can choose the one that best suits the bag.

■ Two types of lip hardness available
Two types are available: an extra-soft material (pink) for easily deformable packaging bags, and a soft material (blue) for thick vinyl or sheet-like packaging bags.

Metal Detector-Compatible Suction Pad VSP-□BE/BD Series

The VSP-□BE/BD Series uses a silicone rubber pad blended with metal powder. In the unlikely event that a piece of the pad breaks off and enters the product, it will be detected by a metal detector, preventing contaminated products from being shipped.

■ Available in two types: with ribs and without ribs.
The suction surface is available with or without ribs.
* The ribless type is ideal for spherical workpieces. A bellows shape with protrusions to prevent the lip and bellows from sticking.

■ Iron powder and SUS specifications available
The iron powder specification has double the response ratio compared to other companies (according to our research), and with the SUS specification, rubber wear particles are resistant to rust.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can it be used in food manufacturing processes?

     
  Yes, it is compatible with the "FP Series," which can be used safely and securely in food manufacturing processes. The lubricating oil for flow path and sliding parts is food-grade (NSF H1), and the flow path parts use materials compliant with the Food Sanitation Act (resin/rubber).

• Is it possible to borrow a sample to determine which pad is appropriate?

     
  We have sample evaluation units available, so you can test them with your actual workpiece. Please feel free to contact us for details.

Application Examples

Suction Pad for Packaging Bags VSP-□PB Series

The extra-soft material (pink) is for easily deformable packaging bags and is ideal for gripping bags containing liquids, while the soft material (blue) is for thick vinyl or sheet-like packaging bags and is ideal for gripping pouches.

Metal Detector-Compatible Suction Pad VSP-□BE/BD Series

The silicone rubber pad blended with metal powder reacts to metal detectors, making it ideal for processes where foreign object contamination must be avoided, such as food manufacturing.
