The BL40-5 suction cup is a silicone cup with reinforced bellows and a long, thin lip designed for pick-and-place applications, mainly in the food industry, and specifically optimised to handle difficult bags - bags that are filled with liquids or with material that is not in one piece such as heavy pet food bags, bags with frozen food or bags of rice or pasta.
The silicone material of the suction cup complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.2660, so that same cup can be used for lifting bags as for lifting food directly. The silicone material also means the cup can be used in temperatures from -20 to 200 °C. The fitting is designed to enable high initial flow providing a quick seal on the product.
When lifting bags containing loose product, the bag can sag and buckle under the product’s weight. The BL40-5 has a very thin lip, ensuring flexibility and the best sealing properties between the lip and the bag or food. As the grip is more secure, it is possible to increase the packing speed and have fewer planned and unplanned stoppages. The bellows will compensate for different levels, if the products to be picked are not homogeneous.
