Optimising High-Speed Packaging: Why Vuototecnica Bellows Cups with Supports Are the Ultimate Choice for Gripping Flow Packs In high-speed secondary packaging operations, handling flow packs and products wrapped in flexible plastic film is notoriously difficult. Wrinkles, surface irregularities, and uneven thickness—such as the rear junction flap on a bag of pasta—frequently cause vacuum loss, dropped items, and costly assembly line downtime. To overcome these challenges, Vuototecnica offers high-performance bellows suction cups with anodised aluminium supports, specifically engineered to deliver stable, energy-efficient pick-and-place execution on automatic packaging machinery. [1, 2] The Mechanics of Secure Flow Pack Gripping Standard flat suction cups...

50 Years Industrial Vacuum Solutions - A "Vacuum Force" to be Reckoned with

In the vacuum equipment industry, manufacturers frequently claim to offer the absolute best performance or quote flow figures that defy reality. Ultimately, vacuum technology is governed by strict laws of physics, not marketing hype. In most applications, operational issues stem directly from poor product selection. For instance, advertisements frequently showcase a vacuum generator mounted directly to the suction cup. While this setup delivers a flawless pick every time, it relies on an incredibly inefficient configuration.  This specific design wastes 100% more compressed air than the vacuum cup actually requires. Over a standard 6,000-hour operational cycle, this single scenario inflates energy...

Selecting the correct suction cup for your application or even finding the same type of suction cup for replacement can be a difficult task There are 10's of thousands of vacuum cups available all with the slightest difference in diameters, materials, heights etc....... So lets try to make a little sense of it all The process to select the correct Vacuum suction cup is as follows: First step is to determine if the cup is a "Flat" type vacuum cup or  "Bellows" type vacuum cup. Flat Type Suction cup: or Bellows Type Suction cup: This will be dependant of the...

The use of vacuum valves in industrial vacuum systems is essential for many applications, including high-speed pick-and-place systems, vacuum forming, and vacuum holding. Selecting the correct valve is critical to achieving a reliable, efficient, and responsive system. 2-way and 3-way vacuum solenoid valves are commonly used to control vacuum. A 2-way valve is typically used to isolate and maintain vacuum within an application, while a 3-way valve switches the vacuum off and vents the system to atmosphere, allowing products to be released quickly and efficiently. Many valves currently used in vacuum systems are originally designed as pneumatic valves and then...
