Vacuum suction cups for blister packs

POSTED 05/11/2009

The requirements on vacuum suction cups for handling blister packs are constantly growing. There is a trend to handle finer films at shorter cycles.

With the suction cups designed and produced by the vacuum specialist Schmalz, you play safe. Due to the large product line Schmalz offers the possibility to choose between different materials and geometries with specific benefits securing your competitive advantage. 
  • Foil suction cups SGPN - the line SGPN is made of natural rubber and suits very thin blister films. A low inner volume guarantees short evacuation times.
  • Bellows suction cups made of PVC - are characterized by a highly flexible but also wear-resistant sealing lip and are suited for blisters, e. g. battery carton.
  • Vacuum suction cups made of HT1 - leave no marks and may be applied directly on transparent surfaces.
  • Vacuum suction cups made of Silicone - complies with the strict demands of FDA.
