For one of the a leading food manufacturer based in UK, product drops on the packing line were causing frequent stoppages. The application involved lifting packed flatbreads into boxes – a process where reliability and gentle handling are critical.

🧐𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲
The original vacuum cups struggled to maintain a consistent grip, leading to dropped products and repeated line stops. In a high-paced food manufacturing environment, this resulted in: unnecessary downtime, reduced packing efficiency and increased operator intervention.

💡𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Schmalz worked with the customer to implement a new vacuum cup solution: PSPF, selected for its reliable sealing and for applications.
The cups were installed directly on the existing system, allowing for a smooth transition without major changes to the machine layout.

📈𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁
✅ No product drops on the line since installation
✅ Downtime reduced from 3–4 hours per day to a maximum of 30 minutes in 24 hours
✅ Improved line stability and packing efficiency

The impact on uptime has been immediate and significant. A simple change in made a big difference – and Schmalz is now the customer’s preferred supplier for vacuum cups 💪

Enjoy ultimate flexibility in clamping with the vacuum blocks VCBL-N /VCBL-R!

Makes your life easier through:

⏱️Shorter set-up times
Thanks to a clever 2-in-1 function in the design. The innovative clamping equipment can be prepared with a single movement. The nesting insert on the underside fixes the vacuum blocks to nesting and flat tables. It can be removed in seconds using the clip - this means that the suction cup is also rock-solid on all standard 30 and 40 millimeter grid geometries.

😎Universal talent
High flexibility by using a single series of vacuum blocks for grid and nesting table applications

💪Maximum stability
The suction plate fixes components of all kinds - from rough or textured surfaces to solid wood. Its membrane protects the workpiece from direct contact with the touch valve, which comes as standard, and at the same time prevents the ingress of dirt. The optional lifting system protects the sealing edge of the suction plate from damage and makes it easier for users to load and unload large workpieces.
