The vacuum specialists at Schmalz ­have developed the company’s new SPOB1f series of oval suction cups ­especially for use in flow-wrap pack­aging processes. The new SPOB1f ­finishes up the dynamic flow-wrap­ping process for the reliable further ­carton packaging of the respective products. It features a thin, flexible ­sealing lip which ensures particularly safe handling of film-packed prod­ucts, even when they have a moist or frosted surface.
The suction cup is made of FDA-compliant silicon, which is approved ­for direct contact with food products. This makes the SPOB1f particularly suitable for use in the consumer goods sector in smaller and mid-sized nar­row products like ice cream, chocolate bars or muesli bars. The 1.5 bellows suction cup is available in three different sizes with diameters of 35 x 15 mm, 60 x 25 mm and 80 x 35 mm.
