1. WHAT IS VACUUM LIFTING EQUIPMENT?

Vacuum lifting equipment is a lifting device that uses vacuum pressure to lift, grasp, and move objects. It is a simple system consisting of a vacuum pump connected by a flexible hose to a lifting tube with a suction head and suction cup (also called a vacuum pad) at the end of the lifting tube. This is where it contacts and lifts the object.

2. TYPES OF VACUUM LIFTING EQUIPMENT

There are many types of vacuum equipment. Classified by function, there are vacuum lifting devices for the heavy industry, vertical and horizontal lifting, coil lifting, battery-operated lifting devices, and hand-held vacuum lifting devices.

Classification by the mechanism of generating vacuum pressure includes: electrically powered vacuum lifting devices and battery-powered vacuum lifting devices, pneumatically powered lifting devices, hydraulically powered lifting devices, mechanical vacuum lifting devices.

3. SUCTION PRINCIPLE

Vacuum pressure is created by using a vacuum pump to remove all the air from the space between the object and the contact pad on the object. The degree of vacuum created depends entirely on the air removal capacity of the pump and the contact area between the pad and the object.

4. SAFETY FEATURES

Vacuum lifting equipment is equipped with safety features such as pressure sensors, emergency release valves, and a vacuum pressure sensor system. These features are designed to prevent the object from falling and ensure the safety of the operator.

5. APPLICATIONS

Vacuum lifting equipment is widely used in various industries, on construction sites, in manufacturing plants, or by transportation companies. They are commonly used to lift and move heavy objects such as sheet metal or glass panels, stone slabs, or items with flat, smooth surfaces like boxes.

6. MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance and inspections are very important steps in maintaining the operation of vacuum lifting equipment to prolong its lifespan as well as ensure safe operation. Maintenance tasks typically include cleaning, replacing vacuum pads, checking the pressure pump, inspecting safety sensors, pressure gauges, and replacing worn parts during use.

7. ADVANTAGE

• Easy to use, operate, highly flexible and safe.
• Maintenance is not too complex.
• Reasonably priced.

8. EQUIPMENT SELECTION

Choosing the right vacuum lifting equipment requires consideration of the weight of the load, dimensions, material characteristics, and the type of pressure pump suitable for each work environment.
