    Four Lifters Shown

    Image of ProductInUse. Side1 orientation. CrossSection view. Contains Annotated. Vacuum Lifters. Dust-Resistant Vacuum Lifters.
    Grip, lift, and move materials with uninterrupted suction—even in dusty environments. These lifters have no moving parts, so they’re less prone to clogs from dust and debris. Also known as venturi devices, you connect them to any compressed air source and they’ll generate suction through a single nozzle—no need for a centralized vacuum system. If a clog does occur, you can clear it easily by reversing the airflow.
    These lifters activate and release quickly, so they’re ideal for vacuum packaging and pick-and-place tasks. You can join multiple lifters together to create a system. Even if one vacuum cup fails to grip, the others will keep working.
    They include an exhaust muffler that reduces noise and filters debris without impeding airflow. The vacuum cups are Buna-N to resist abrasion and oil. Use them on nonporous surfaces such as metal, glass, and plastic.

    Food and Beverage Push-On Vacuum Cups for Soft and Porous Objects

    Press these cups onto unthreaded fittings on your vacuum system to pick up bread, pastries, and other soft material. They can also replace worn cups on threaded vacuum cups. With more bellows than other vacuum cups, they gently compress onto delicate, spongy objects without damaging them. They don't have pits, crevices, or tight angles, so they're easy to clean and won't harbor bacteria. They're made from FDA-compliant silicone rubber, so they're safe for direct contact with food.
    The metal additive in these cups will set off metal detectors if they fall into your line. They're also blue, so it's easy to find and remove stray cups. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to keep contaminated food from leaving your facility.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Food and Beverage Vacuum Cups for Soft and Porous Objects

    Connect these cups to your vacuum system to pick up bread, pastries, and other soft material. They have more bellows than other vacuum cups to gently compress onto delicate, spongy objects. They're easy to clean and don't have pits, crevices, or tight angles where bacteria can hide. Made from FDA-compliant silicone rubber, these cups are safe for direct contact with food.
    These cups help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to keep contaminated food from leaving your facility. All nonmetal parts have a metal additive that sets off metal detectors if they fall into your line. They're also blue, so they're easy to find and remove.
    Replace worn and damaged silicone cups with push-on vacuum cups. For a good fit, match the size of your current cups.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Plastic Fitting—Cups with a plastic fitting are lighter than stainless steel fittings, so they won't weigh down your robot arm. However, they are not as strong or corrosion resistant as stainless steel.
    Stainless Steel Fitting—Cups with a stainless steel fitting won't corrode from the harsh cleaning agents used in washdown applications. They're stronger than plastic fittings, but they're also heavier.

    These cups maintain their grip even as contents shift and the bag changes shape during lifting. Use these cups with a vacuum system to grip, lift, and move items. They have multiple bellows to compensate for different heights.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Metal Filter—Cups with a filter prevent material from entering the vacuum system.
