Manual slide valve
Reliable and safe vacuum control
VacuMaster Basic with manual slide valve for high safety by double actuation and anti-trap protection. Prevents unwanted loosing of the load.

Connectors
Light, robust and flexible
The combination of aluminum and high-strength plastic allows the cross beams and suction plates to be easily adjusted to quickly adapt to changing formats.

Load beam
Integrated vacuum reservoir
The large vacuum reservoir prevents the load from falling in the case of a power failure and makes gripping faster during repeated lifting processes.

Suction Plates
Versatility for every task
Allows for optimal adaptation to the workpiece and to requirements such as heat resistance, food safety and mark-free gripping. Select from suspension which is rigid, spring-mounted or both flexible and spring-mounted.
