    Lift and move porous, uneven, and delicate items without damaging them. Unlike other vacuum lifters, which seal to the surface of your workpiece, these lifters pick up items without touching them. Also known as Bernoulli lifters, they use a compressed air source to create a negative pressure zone, so you don’t need a separate vacuum generator. They’re also low-maintenance—they don’t use vacuum cups, and the durable steel housing is built for a long service life. These lifters are not for use with electronics or other items sensitive to static discharge.
    If your workpiece is uneven, it may touch the lifter surface as it moves.
    Capacity and air consumption are based on lifting a flat workpiece horizontally.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Lifters with Steel Pads
    Vacuum Lifter Dampers—To create a soft area for your object to touch, add vacuum lifter dampers to the lifter face. These rubber discs gently press against your workpiece, adding enough friction to keep it from slipping and dropping.

    The oval shape of this cup provides a greater surface area than other cups, so it is good for lifting long, thin objects without bending them. Use it with a vacuum system to grip, lift, and move items.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    The oval shape of this cup provides a greater surface area than other cups, so it is good for lifting long, thin objects without bending them. The unthreaded mounting hole is for use with vacuum systems that have an unthreaded fitting such as a barbed fitting. Made of vinyl plastic, these cups have excellent wear resistance.

    Food and Beverage Vacuum Cups for Long and Narrow Objects

    Pick up long, narrow items in your sanitary facility with these cups—they connect to threaded fittings on your vacuum system. The oblong cups grip evenly across objects to lift without bending them. Their bellows compress as they contact an item, giving them a better hold than flat cups. Made from FDA-compliant silicone rubber, they're safe for direct contact with food.
    To make cleaning easier, the cup and the fitting are a single piece without crevices or tight angles where bacteria can grow.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Stainless Steel Fitting—Cups with a stainless steel fitting won't corrode from the harsh cleaning agents used in washdown applications.
    Clear Cup—Clear cups are often used to lift packaged food and nonfood items in sanitary areas. They're safe for use with food, but they're not metal detectable, so you won't be alerted if they fall into your line.

    Single Bellows—Metal-detectable cups with a single bellow have a deeper cup than other single-bellow cups, which gives them more surface contact with round objects and a better grip.
    Stainless Steel Fitting—Cups with a stainless steel fitting won't corrode from the harsh cleaning agents used in washdown applications.
    Blue Cup—Blue cups are easy to spot and remove if they fall into your line. They also have a metal additive that will set off metal detectors, helping to keep contaminated food from leaving your facility. These cups help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety.
