Maxigrip cups - Round flat and bellows vacuum cups
These vacuum cups have been created as an alternative to the ordinary cups used in the robot-automotive field. They offer an excellent solution to gripping and handling problems that could arise on vacuum-driven handlers in every industry sector. They can be both round and oval, flat and bellows-type, and equipped with support. The extremely flexible outside lip, which can be associated with the typical features of the bellows cups, helps them adapt on flat, concave and convex surfaces with no risk of deforming or breaking even the thinnest objects to be handled.
The innovative design of the inside of the cups, which facilitates the drainage of oil and water, ensures a high friction coefficient with the gripping surface and, in particular, a unique grip on oil-covered metal sheets or wet glass or marble sheets. This particular feature guarantees a firm grip and, therefore, accurate placement of the load to be handled.
MAXIGRIP standard vacuum cups are made with our exclusive BENZ compound:
- Hardness 60-75°Sh.
- Working temperature between -40 and +170°C
- Stain-resistant
- Excellent resistance to abrasion, water and to oils containing chlorine.
Their support is vulcanised onto the cup.
A wide range of accessories, such as adapters, couplers and articulated joints, allows them to be installed on any vacuum-driven handler. These cups can also be provided in the special compounds listed on top, thanks to their universality of use.

These foam rubber cups are made with a special compound called GERANIUM, with a density that allows them to grip even uneven and very rough surfaces maintaining their elasticity also after many working cycles. They are provided with self-adhesive side for a quick fixing to their support. This series of cups has been designed for handling loads with raw or very rough surfaces (sawn, bush-hammered or flamed marble, textured, non-slip or profiled metal sheets, striped Plexiglass, raw cement manufactures, garden tiles with fret, etc.) and in all those cases in which traditional cups cannot be used.
In case of lubricated gripping surfaces, we recommend using NF neoprene foam rubber. The working temperature range is between -40°C and +80°C for OF GERANIUM foam rubber and between -20°C and +80°C for NF neoprene. Their supports are made with anodised aluminium and are provided with a threaded hole in the centre for fastening them to the automation.

Suction cups for handling plastic films, flow packs and the packaging sector
This series of vacuum cups is specifically designed for handling thin, lightweight and delicate objects, such as plastic or paper bags.
The especially thin lip allows the vacuum cup to easily adapt to changes in the shape of the material to be picked up or opened, ensuring effective adhesion even on surfaces that are not perfectly regular.
The internal cleats perform a fundamental function: they distribute the vacuum evenly across the entire surface of the vacuum cup, thus preventing very thin materials from being deformed or sucked directly into the central hole.
To ensure the best performance when gripping plastic or paper products, we recommend using the Para compound, known for its excellent adhesion properties and gentleness on the material being handled.

These cups do not require a connection to any vacuum source, since the object onto which they are laid on evacuates the air inside them. A built-in non-return valve prevents the air from entering again, thus maintaining the vacuum.
To release the piece, simply lift it a few millimetres, thus opening the non-return valve, which restores the atmospheric pressure inside the cup, by letting the air in.
Since possible losses cannot be recovered, these cups a recommended only for holding objects with smooth and impermeable surfaces, such as glass, polished sheets, and other similar objects. They are particularly suited for glass carrying trolleys feeding trolleys for robotic systems.
They are made with nickel-plated brass with a steel drive bush, which can be provided in the anti-rotation version upon request.

Bernoulli’s theorem explains many phenomena, such as the lifting of a plane’s wing or of a light disc in front of a tube end from which air flows out quickly.
This apparently paradoxical phenomenon is exploited for manufacturing vacuum gripping systems (vacuum cups) and handling, with no contact, fragile objects, such as semiconductor plates, silica discs, solar cells, precious metal foils, films and whatever needs to be handled with the greatest care.
Our cups based on Bernoulli’s principle are made with anodised aluminium, with stainless steel centre thrust disc.
The antistatic silicone spacers, located on the cup gripping plane, prevent transverse movements of the gripped object.
The compressed air supply connections can be axial and radial and the quick coupler for the flexible pipe is included in the package.
The unused holes are closed with brass threaded caps.
On the rear part of the cup there are 3 or 4 threaded holes for fitting it to the automation.

These new vacuum cups have been designed and manufactured to safely grip even the most difficult and irregular packages. Made of anodised aluminium and equipped with a slotted plate inside them to allow flexible containers to perfectly adapt to the cup, as well as a special foam rubber seal which, following the inevitable creases that form on flexible containers during gripping, prevents perimeter vacuum losses.
They are especially suitable for gripping flow packs, flexible containers for intravenous therapy, bags of sweets or other similar products, plastic bags of granulated products, of cement, sugar or flour, etc.
The lifting force was calculated considering a level of vacuum of at least -75 Kpa, the total surface enclosed within the seal and a factor of safety 3.

The VMG134 vacuum cup is specifically designed for use on automatic sorting machines dedicated to handling textured tiles. Its shape and the material used allow for a secure grip even on uneven, rough or raised surfaces, where traditional vacuum cups are not effective.
Made of high-density foam rubber, the VMG134 maintains its elasticity even after numerous work cycles, ensuring consistent performance over time. It is available in three different compounds, each suitable for specific thermal conditions: the EPDM rubber (SB) version is resistant to temperatures between -40 °C and +130 °C, the Geranium foam rubber (OF) works between -40 °C and +80 °C, while the neoprene (NF) is suitable for temperatures between -20 °C and +80 °C.
One side of the vacuum cup is self-adhesive, allowing for quick and secure attachment to the support. The vacuum cup support is made of anodised Anticorodal, a material that ensures strength
and corrosion resistance.
It has four holes for attachment to the automatic machine and two vacuum connections, which allow for gripping and even partial movement of the piece.
Both connections are sealed with NBR O-rings, ensuring optimal system sealing.
For maintenance, simply replace the self-adhesive foam rubber only, requesting it in the desired compound based on operating conditions. The VMG134 vacuum cup is therefore an effective, durable and versatile solution for all applications where the surface of the material to be handled does not allow the use of conventional vacuum cups.

The measurement method of our vacuum gauges is based on the principle of the Bourdon spring (Eugène Bourdon, France, 1808 – 1884).
It is made using section tubes in special copper alloy, one end is welded to the threaded pin of the vacuum-pressure gauge, thus forming a single body with it, while the other closed end is free. As the vacuum or the pressure inside increases, it tends to shift from the initial position (Bourdon effect). The movement of the free end of the spring determines the vacuum-pressure measurement.
For easier reading, this movement is amplified by means of a connection lever and transmitted to the pointer.
Everything is contained in a sturdy case made from different materials according to the function of models, fastened onto a threaded fitting for connection to the system. The face and index are visible thanks to a clear plastic protective disc. They are available in various versions, with radial or coaxial connectors, with built-in or external flange, dry or glycerine filled. With the exception of the Ø 40 mm vacuum gauges, all other models have a double scale dial.
All the vacuum and pressure gauges we will describe on these pages are made in compliance with all the safety standards and measurement units in force in the European Union.

These devices control the level of vacuum, maintaining it constant at the pre-set value (secondary vacuum), regardless of the network's flow rate and the fluctuations in vacuum level (primary vacuum).
They operate by membrane-piston and exploit the pressure differential between the secondary vacuum and the atmospheric pressure.
Unlike the vacuum control valves, reducers do not release air into the circuit, thereby allowing for the creation more grip points taken at different degrees of vacuum, from a single vacuum source.
The level of vacuum is adjusted manually by turning the knurled thumb screw clockwise to increase it, and counter clockwise to decrease it. Technical features
- Operation: membrane-piston regulator
- Adjustable operating pressure: from 800 to 1 mbar abs.
- Flow rate: from 2 to 160 m3/h.
- Room temperature: from -10 to +80 °C
- Installation position: any Usage
The best use of vacuum reducers is in centralised plants where, regardless of the plant's level of vacuum, each outlet can be adjusted within that value. Moreover, they are necessary whenever the working vacuum must be lower than the primary vacuum.

Product codes: 110350 110550 110650
Vacuum regulators with pneumatic adjustment differ from the previous ones for the way they adjust the level of vacuum; in fact, instead of acting manually on the adjustment screw, it is necessary to act on the pneumatic cylinder compressed air supply: the higher the pressure, and the higher the level of vacuum and vice-versa.
Vacuum regulators are used to adjust the pre-set level of vacuum and keep it constant (secondary vacuum), regardless of the pump vacuum level or the vacuum level (primary vacuum).
Unlike the vacuum adjusting valves, regulators do not introduce atmospheric air into the circuit, thus producing more gripping points with different vacuum values, from only one vacuum source.
Their operating principle is based on the contrasting action between a pneumatic cylinder with short stroke and a fluctuating piston driven by the pressure differential existing between the secondary vacuum and the atmospheric pressure.

Diagrams referring to the level of vacuum according to the servo-control supply pressure
Note: The values shown in the tables are purely indicative as they depend on atmospheric pressure, the flow rate of the vacuum source and the quality of the compressed air supply
When these valves reach a certain pre-calibrated vacuum degree, they introduce atmospheric air into the circuit to prevent the increase of the set value and to keep it constant.
They can be used as regulators only on circuits having only one vacuum pump and only one use (or more uses but all working at the same vacuum degree).
In most cases, they are used as safety valves on non- commissioned tanks or containers at high levels of vacuum and on vacuum cup lifting systems.
The level of vacuum is adjusted by rotating the knurled bush in both directions. The fine thread with which the valve is provided ensures a very accurate calibration.
The temperature values within which the valves can operate go from -20 °C to +200 °C.

Multi-function modules with built-in vacuum solenoid valves
The needs of technical designers in the packaging sector and in the automation sector in general to have more vacuum combined with different functions in the smallest possible space has led us to design and implement this new series of multi-function modules.
Each module has two internal solenoid valves built inside it. Their ducts house the seats for the flow control valves, which can be operated externally by means of special knobs. Various connections made at different points allow for connection of the module to instruments for reading and checking the level of vacuum, such as vacuum gauges, vacuum switches, transducers, etc.
There are three modules currently available:
- Module A: the basic module with two integrated 1”1/2 and 1” solenoid valves, two flow regulators and several additional connections.
- Module B: with two integrated 1/2 "and 1" solenoid valves and two flow regulators. Can be combined with modules A and C.
- Module C: module with two integrated 1/2” solenoid valves, a flow regulator and an additional connection.
Can be combined with module A or B.
The combination of modules A, B and C, feasible using special stainless steel tie-rods, allows for the application of various functions from a single source of vacuum, as well as allowing for the elimination of numerous pipes and fittings, often causing leaks. The multi-function modules are supplied already tested to a guaranteed final level of vacuum of 0.5 mbar and perfectly sealed.
The technical characteristics are those of the pneumatically actuated three-way vacuum solenoid valves:
- Servo-control pressure: 6-7 bar; 4-6 bar for version LP, with non-lubricated compressed air, 5 micron filtration, according to standard ISO 8573-1 class 4
- Operating pressure: from 0.5 to 3000 absolute mbar
- Electric coils: fully plastic-coated in synthetic resin, watertight, insulation class F (up to 155°C) as per standard VDE, with 3 mm two-terminal electrical connections for connectors in compliance with EN 175301-803
- Protection degree IP 54; IP 65 with connector inserted.
- Tolerance permitted on the nominal voltage value: ± 10%
- Electrical power of the coils: from 1 to 2 W, depending on the electrical voltage
- Temperature of suctioned fluid: from – 5 to + 60°C
The ideal use of these multi-function modules is on vacuum thermoformers and vacuum thermo-welders, but they are also widely used on packaging and filling machines in the packaging sector and in all those cases where it is necessary to manage the vacuum at different points and times. Upon request, the modules can be customised and implemented with solenoid valves up to 3” gas. Contact our technical department for further information.
The suction valves described on this page have been designed for a quick vacuum connection on press bags for composite fibre products.
These valves are composed of a steel distributor, to be inserted inside the bag, equipped with a cam housing suitable for the quick coupler for the vacuum connection. The latter is made with reeded and anodised aluminium and is easily coupled with the distributor by simply rotating it on its axis by 90°, once it has been inserted.
A silicone seal, to be placed between the two elements and the press bag, guarantees a perfect vacuum seal. Manual two-way valves, quick couplers or simply flexible pipe fittings can be assembled onto these valves.
They are currently available in the two versions indicated in the table, but can be provided in different sizes and shapes upon request for a minimum amount.
Maximum temperature of use: 220 °C
Product codes: VSS3/8 VSS1/2

They can be used as an alternative to plunger valves when these cannot be assembled onto the vacuum cups.
Product code: 190230
Valves with ball shutters activate suction, creating vacuum in the cups on which they are applied, only when the load to be held activates the sealing shutter.
They are made of an anodised aluminium body, a nylon ball shutter, a calibrated thrust spring and a threaded brass closing plug.
When properly calibrated, they guarantee a perfect vacuum seal.
They are recommended for making vacuum operated clamping surfaces.
They can be supplied in different sizes and shapes upon request and for a minimum quantity to be defined in the order.
Product code: 220110
These are special one-way valves that, when properly calibrated, allow a certain quantity of fluid to go through; afterwards, if the fluid continues to go through, they automatically close.
These shut-off valves have been specially designed to be applied on the cups and, in case of lack of objects to be gripped, of defective grips or leaks, they automatically deactivate suction, thus preventing any reduction of the level of vacuum on the other gripping cups.
They are provided calibrated and commissioned, ready to be installed. They are made with anodised aluminium and can be supplied in different shapes and sizes upon request and for a minimum quantity to be defined in the order.

These one-way valves are made with bronze and brass with a seal in NBR nitrile rubber or, upon request, in FKM, only for series 10 ... 11.
To ensure a practical assembly they are available in two versions: horizontal and vertical.
Fitted on the vacuum pump suction inlet, as soon as the latter stop, these valves prevent the air from returning in the plant (piping, tanks, autoclaves, vacuum gripping systems, vacuum cups, etc.), guaranteeing a perfect seal and preventing the oil from returning into the pump stator, which would cause considerable damages.
Therefore, check valves are mandatory on all vacuum pumps with lubrication that do not have them built-in.

These valves have the same features of the previously described check valves, but they are made with anodised aluminium, which makes them particularly light. The seal is guaranteed by an EPDM membrane instead of the metal shutter with NBR seal.
Thanks to these features and their modern design, they are recommended for pneumatic vacuum generators and, of course, on vacuum pumps.

Servo-controlled 3-way vacuum solenoid valves with two electric coils
These solenoid valves have the same function and the same structure as the previously described three-way valves.
Even their structure is the same, but their distinctive features are the two coils that with a simple electric impulse exchange the shutter positions and keep them in this position till the next impulse even in absence of compressed air at the servo control and of electric current.
This is the reason why their use is especially recommended in all those cases requiring maximum connection security at the vacuum source, even in the absence of electrical and pneumatic power supply.
The standard electric coils are fully plastic-coated in synthetic resin, watertight, insulation class F (up to 155°C) as per standard VDE, with 6.3 mm three-terminal electrical connections for connectors in compliance with EN 175301-803 (ex DIN 43650).

These direct drive three-way, two-position vacuum solenoid valves feature conical shutters servo-controlled by the vacuum.
They are normally closed as standard, but they can be supplied normally open upon request.
They are composed of an anodised aluminium body where the connections are located, two silicone shutters assembled onto a stainless steel stem and a membrane in special reinforced compound. An actuator activated by an electric coil manages the vacuum at the servo-control. The operating principle of these solenoid valves is based on the pressure differential between the vacuum pump or generator and the pressure of the suctioned air.
By addressing this “differential pressure” to the servo-control via the actuator, the shutters can be controlled without compressed air or springs.
Due to their operating principle, they are not recommended on plants with rough vacuum levels (below 850 absolute mbar, equal to 15 % vacuum).
The lack of springs, frictions and internal dynamic stresses favours a high response speed and guarantees long lasting operation.
The standard electric coil is fully plasticised with synthetic resin, tight execution, insulation class F (up to 155°C) compliant with VDE standards, with 6.3 mm three-terminal electrical connections in compliance with EN 175301-803 (ex DIN 43650).

When correctly installed, all connectors provide full protection against water jets, according to EN 60529 standards (protection class IP 65).
Moreover, they meet VDE 0110-1 /89 standards, working voltage up to 250 V, overvoltage category II, Degree of use 3, regarding insulation class.
In all contacts, a snap joint between contact holders and the external protection guarantees a safe locking and easy assembly.
Safe locking is essential for guaranteeing the operator full protection when handling the connector.
The contact holder can be easily extracted from its casing simply using a screwdriver.
This operation also allows orienting the earthing contact in the desired direction.

These small in-line filters retain impurities and very fine dust, interfering with the flow rate in a negligible manner. Thanks to their reduced size, they can be directly installed onto vacuum piping, close to the utilities (vacuum cups, vacuum clamping systems, etc.) for a fractionated filtration and a better visual control of all the plant suction points.
They are composed of a cylindrical transparent Plexiglass body closed by two anodised aluminium flanges kept in place by Seeger rings, where all the threaded male or female connections and seals are located. Inside there is a filtering cartridge.
The filters can be inspected by simply removing one of the two flanges. Given the paper filter element, it is not recommended to use these filters (FCL) in the presence of water and oil vapours or condensation. Technical features

In presence of a considerable amount of fine or impalpable dust, the traditional suction filter would require a cartridge with a filtering degree so high that, along with reducing its operation autonomy, it would also reduce the vacuum pump suction flow rate.
Oil-bath suction filters have been studied in order to overcome this problem.The main feature of these filters is the ability to retain the smallest and most impalpable dust particles, without reducing the vacuum pump suction flow rate.
Oil-bath filters are composed of a sheet steel head and container coupled with an interposed seal and clamped by release clamps.
Inside, besides the oil bowl, there are two steel wool filtering cartridges, one of which is detachable and washable, while the other is fixed. The release clamps guarantee easy access for cleaning operations.
They can be used with any kind of oil, even drain oil, as long as it has a minimum viscosity degree. The ideal oil is the same one used for the pump. Oil-bath suction filters are not recommended for dry vacuum pumps.

Syphon filter systems with automatic by-pass FS 50 BP and FS 60 BP
The system, composed of two siphon filters, operates initially with suction through filter 1 and with filter 2 excluded. When the suctioned liquid reaches the float on the level switch, automatically by means of the 1” 1/2 three-way vacuum interception solenoid valve for item FS 50 BP and 2” for item FS 60 BP, an exchange is made and suction passes through filter 2.
The input of atmospheric air into filter 1 via the 1/2” three-way solenoid valve installed on its lid, accumulated liquid is allowed to discharge automatically through the check valve with tap on the bottom of the filter. Once liquid has been discharged, after a pre-set time (this operation can be timed), the solenoid valve returns to its initial position, thus allowing recreation of a vacuum inside the filter through a small flexible hose connected to the main vacuum piping.
With this arrangement, there will not be any decrease in the level of vacuum for use when the suction exchange will be carried out between the two filters. This exchange will take place when the liquid reaches the level switch float on filter 2 and, from that moment, the operations described above will be repeated.
The filter system is composed of:
- 2 Plexiglas siphon filters with aluminium lids and complete with accessories, with a flow rate of 38 L each
- 2 1” 1/2 gas three-way servo-operated vacuum solenoid valves, item 07 06 13 for item FS 50 BP and 2” gas servo-operated vacuum solenoid valves, item 07 08 13 for item FS 60 BP
- 2 1/2” gas three-way servo-operated vacuum solenoid valves, item 07 03 13.
- 4 1” 1/2 gas two-way manual valves for vacuum interception, item 13 07 10 for item FS 50 BP and 2” gas for vacuum interception, item 13 08 10 for item FS 60 BP
- 2 Manual 1/2” gas two-way valves, for atmospheric air input, item 13 03 10
- 1 Switchgear enclosed in a special watertight metal box, for single phase electrical voltage Volt 230/ 50 Hz
- 1 Coated profile steel frame to mount all above-described components

Working principle
The rotor rotates eccentrically inside a stator and it has grooves in which the vanes move freely and are pushed against the stator inside wall due to the centrifugal force, thus creating as many chambers as the number of vanes. During rotation, the volume of these chambers varies according to their position with respect to the eccentric axis.The chamber volume increase makes the air inside of them expand, thus creating vacuum (suction phase); the volume reduction, on the other hand, generates air compression (exhaust or delivery phase).
The internal design is the same for both rotating compressors and vacuum pumps. We have created two different sucked air conveying principles for our pumps.

Mini pump sets are small independent vacuum-producing units with reduced size.
They are composed of:
- A small welded sheet steel tank with perfect vacuum seal.
- A low-flow rate dry or lubricated rotating vane vacuum pump.
- A mini digital vacuum switch for adjusting the maximum level of vacuum.
- A vacuum gauge for reading the level of vacuum.
- Switchgear enclosed in a special casing.
- A manual valve for vacuum interception.
- A cock for condensation drainage.
The level of vacuum, preset via the digital vacuum switch is automatically maintained in the tank.
Mini pump sets can also be supplied with single-phase or DC electric motors and they are suited for equipping fixed or mobile working units that require vacuum, such as:
- Trolleys with vacuum cups for fixing and transporting glass and crystals.
- Vacuum clamping systems for ski maintenance, marble processing and for polishing copper, pewter or silver objects.
- Hoists with vacuum cups for lifting television sets and household appliances for glass installation in door and window frames, for laying ceramic tiles, for feeding sheet metal into presses, etc.
As a standard, these pump sets are built with various capacities and they are composed of:
- A horizontal welded sheet steel tank with perfect vacuum seal.
- A rotary vane vacuum pump to be selected according to the required suctionflow rate and level of vacuum.
- A digital vacuum switch for adjusting the level of vacuum within which to operate.
- A vacuum gauge for a direct reading of the level of vacuum in the tank.
- A switchgear enclosed in a special plastic casing for tanks from 25 to 50 litresand in a watertight metal casing for tanks of 100 litres upwards.
- A manual valve for vacuum interception.
- A cock for condensation drainage.
The level of vacuum, preset via the digital vacuum switch is automatically maintained in the tank.
The pump operation can be both continuous or automatic.
Pump sets are normally used for handling particularly heavy or valuable loads since, in case of electricity failure, they allow the vacuum cups to maintain the grip for a certain amount of time, according to the tank capacity.
These pump sets are recommended for multi-point applications, to centralise vacuum.
These pump sets offer many advantages in energy consumption, since the pump operates only when required by the machine.
Safety pump sets have been designed to centralise vacuum in all work environments such as hospitals, laboratories, etc. where vacuum must be guaranteed 24/7.
They are essentially composed of:
- A horizontal welded sheet steel tank with perfect vacuum seal;
- Two rotary vane vacuum pumps to be selected according to the required suction flow rate and level of vacuum;
- A vacuum gauge for a direct reading of the level of vacuum in the tank;
- Two manual valves for vacuum interception, located between the pumps and the tank and one installed on the tank, for the exclusion or connection of the pump set on a user system;
- A cock for condensation drainage;
- A switchgear enclosed in a special watertight metal casing with switches for automatic or manual pump operation, an alarm device with sound and light signal, alarm-test buttons and hour-counter for counting the hours of actual operation of every single pump.
These safety pump sets normally provide for the operation of one pump with subsequent automatic insertion of the second one for larger consumptions and when, for whatever reason, the plant level of vacuum goes under the preset value.
The automatic timed inverter, located on the switchboard, accurately alternates the pump start- up, so that they are both subject to the same mechanical wear.
The switchboard and remote alarm systems operate when the plant level of vacuum is below the set safety value.
As a standard, these pump sets are built with various capacities and they are composed of:
- A vertical welded sheet steel tank with perfect vacuum seal.

The level of vacuum, preset via the mini vacuum switch is automatically maintained in the tank. The pump operation can be both continuous or automatic. These pump sets are normally used for interconnecting several vacuum-operated machines and, for safety reasons, for vacuum handlers since, in case of electricity failure, they allow the vacuum cups to maintain the grip for an amount of time proportional to the tank capacity.
As for energy consumption, in both cases these pump sets offer many advantages, since the pump operates only to restore vacuum in the tank within the preset values and its interventions depend exclusively on the quantity of air that is actually sucked at the service.
Safety pump sets have been designed to centralise vacuum in all work environments such as hospitals, laboratories, etc. where vacuum must be guaranteed 24/7.
They are essentially composed of:
- A vertical welded sheet steel tank with perfect vacuum seal.
- Two rotary vane vacuum pumps to be selected according to the required suctionflow rate and level of vacuum.
- A vacuum gauge for a direct reading of the level of vacuum in the tank.
- Two manual valves for vacuum interception, located between the pumps and the tank and one installed on the tank, for the exclusion or connection of the pump set on a user system.
- A cock for condensation drainage.
- A switchgear enclosed in a special watertight metal casing with switches for automatic or manual pump operation, an alarm device with sound and light signal, alarm-test buttons and hour-counter for counting the hours of actual operation of every single pump.
These safety pump sets normally provide for the operation of one pump with subsequent automatic insertion of the second one for larger consumptions and when, for whatever reason, the plant level of vacuum goes under the preset value.
The automatic timed inverter, located on the switchboard, accurately alternates the pump start-up, so that they are both subject to the same mechanical wear.
The switchboard and remote alarm systems operate when the plant level of vacuum is below the set safety value.

Lubrificated rotary vane vacuum pumps, RVP series - general description
The pumps in this new series are single-stage, rotary vane and with oil-bath lubrication
with recycling. The implementation of cutting edge construction techniques and the use of hi-tech, latest generation materials has allowed for the achievement of high standards of quality, performance, duration and low cost of use. The resulting technical features include:
- High pumping speed in the field of absolute pressure between 850 and 0.5 mbar
- Extremely low noise output
- Low operating temperatures
- No pollution
- Low maintenance
The pumps are driven by an electric motor, coupled by means of an elastic transmission joint (not including RVP 15), in compliance with IEC International Standard 60034 requirements for rotating machines and European Directives for Low Voltage 2014/35/UE, for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) 2014/30/UE, for the limitation of use of hazardous substances RoHS 2011/65/CE and Machine Directive 2006/42/EC for CE marking.
With the exception of electric motors with power lower than 0.75 KW, the efficiency class corresponds to IE3 = Premium Efficiency, with protection degree IP 55, Tolerance of nominal Voltage ± 10% and Class of Insulation F.
A centrifuge fan fitted on the pump shaft ensures a suitable air flow for optimal pump body and radiator cooling (forced surface cooling).
A capacious oil recovery tank located on the pump outlet and equipped with microfibre deoiling cartridges has the function of smoke filtering system and silencer. A special built-in ball cock valve allows for the recovery of oil retained by cartridges. The oil filter, except mod. RVP 15 and 21 pumps, are installed as standard on all.
The oil contained in the system lubricates, cools and seals rotating and fixed pump parts. The check valve on the suction line is an integral part of the pump and is standard while a filter suitable for trapping any suctioned impurities can be supplied upon request.
All pumps except mod. RVP 15 and RVP 21, are supplied standard with a gas ballast valve, which permits high water vapour compatibility. Instead, for mod. RVP 21, the ballast valve can only be installed upon request.
The above described product devices combined with strong, compact construction make RVP series vacuum pumps especially suitable for continuous and heavy-duty use.
The mini pumps on this page are the same as described above, with a DC motor rather than an AC.
The performances are also almost the same.

Vacuum pumps VTLP 10/FG, 15/FG and 20/FG, with disposable lubrication
These vacuum pumps have a suction flow rate of 10, 15 and 20 m3/h.
The vacuum with disposable oil lubrication is adjusted via two oilers located in correspondence of the support bearings.
The rotor is cantilevered-fitted on the motor shaft and supported by independent bearings housed in the two pump flanges.
The pump and the electric motor are, therefore, two independent units and fixed onto a special support and connected to each other via an elastic transmission joint.
All this allows using standard electric motors, in the shapes and sizes indicated in the table. The pump is surface cooled. Heat is dispersed from the outer surface, suitably finned, by means of a radial fan placed between motor and pump.
An oil recovery tank is installed on the pump exhaust. This tank contains a separator filter that prevents oil mists and reduces noise.
A safety valve is also installed on the tank for the automatic drainage of the exhaust oil when not regularly drained.
The lubrication oil is contained in a special transparent container, fixed to the pump via its support, and controlled by a magnetic level switch.
In pumps with disposable lubrication, the oil is sucked in the pump through an adjustable drip oilers and drained together with the sucked air in the recovery tank, without being put in circulation again. These pumps are necessary when the air to be sucked contains water condensation, solvent vapours or anything else that could affect oil properties.
We strongly recommend installing a check valve and a filter on the suction inlet.
Also this range of pumps can be supplied with single-phase electric motors.

Single-stage vacuum generators with ejector FVG 8 and FVG 12
Specifically designed for very high frequency gripping and release applications, these single-stage vacuum generators are based on the Venturi principle and are equipped with a pneumatic ejector, which can be implemented on request through the M7 connection on the lid, to allow maximum speed in restoring the atmospheric pressure of use.
The key features are its considerably reduced weight, supply compressed air pressure of less than 4 bar, low energy consumption, simplicity of installation and low noise level during use, thanks to the high sound dampening silencer installed as standard on the generators.
The pneumatic ejector can be deactivated simply by means of a membrane integrated onto the generators.
These generators, like the previous ones, are also fully made with anodised aluminium.
Product codes: FVG8 FVG12
Single-stage vacuum generator operation is based on the Venturi principle.
Supplying the generator with compressed air in P, vacuum will be generated at connection U, while both the supply and the sucked air will be released through R.
By interrupting the air supply in P, the vacuum effect in U will also stop. The optimal air supply pressure is normally 6 bar, but for generators with the letters LP in their item, a pressure lower than 4 bar is sufficient to obtain the best performance. Upon request, the vacuum generators can be supplied with a high sound suppression silencer installed on the R exhaust connection.
The single-stage vacuum generators are generally used to control vacuum cups, for gripping and handling non-porous objects and equipment with low flow rate requirements.
They are fully made with anodised aluminium, with brass or aluminium ejectors, depending on the items.
Product codes: 150110 150110LP 150115LP
This series of single-stage vacuum generators, also based on the Venturi principle, can be supplied for optimal supply pressures of 4 or 6 bars. Thanks to their shape, they can be installed directly on the user device and used at the most suitable supply pressure, depending on the desired level of vacuum.
They have different capacities and can be used in all gripping systems with vacuum cups, for gripping and handling objects that are not very porous and on equipment with limited capacities. They are available upon request with an SSX 3/8" R high sound suppression silencer, installed on air exhaust R.
They are fully made with anodised aluminium, with brass or aluminium ejectors, depending on the items.
Product codes: VG03 VG03LP VG05LP
Single-stage vacuum generators with ejector 15 02 10, 15 02 10 LP and 15 02 15 LP
This single-stage vacuum generator operation is based on the Venturi principle. When the generator is supplied with compressed air in P, the vacuum will be generated at connection U and the supply air with the suctioned air will be discharged in R. During the operating cycle, a chamber inside the generator body will be supplied and, when supply stops in P, the compressed air accumulated in it will be discharged through the U connection, quickly the restoring atmospheric pressure of use.
If when using U, for example, it is connected to a vacuum cup, it will disconnect much faster with this ejector system with respect to the previously described vacuum generators. The optimal air supply pressure is normally 6 bar, but for generators with the letters LP in their item, a pressure lower than 4 bar is sufficient to obtain the best performance. They are fully made with anodised aluminium, with brass or aluminium ejectors, depending on the items.
Product codes: 150210 150210LP 150215LP
Single-stage vacuum generator with ejector 15 06 08 SX and 15 06 10 SX
These have the same technical features as 15 05 08 SX and 15 05 10 SX, with the addition of the pneumatic ejector. For the ejection system, air accumulated in a special chamber inside the generator body during the operating cycle is automatically discharged in connection to use U, once supply in P is completed and suitably dosed by means of a screw-type flow regulator, for quick restoration of the atmospheric pressure. Optimal supply pressure is less than 4 bar. A high acoustic dampening silencer, set on exhaust air discharge R, reduces noise to a minimum and is an integral part of the generator. These generators, like the previous ones, are also fully made with anodised aluminium.
Product codes: 150608SX 150610SX
This new range of vacuum generators also makes use of the Venturi principle.
Their distinctive feature compared with traditional vacuum generators are the two air and vacuum supply connections located in-line on the same axis, while the exhaust connection of the sucked and exhaust air is orthogonal to them and is located on the generator circumference. These vacuum generators are easy to disassemble, thus allowing visibility and access to all the components. The advantages of these generators include reduced overall dimensions, easy maintenance and easy assembly to the vacuum cup supports or to the vacuum cup holders.
As a standard, they are equipped with pressed stainless steel suction filter and a special microfibre silencer, which is wrapped around the exhaust connection, making them particularly silent. They are fully made with anodised aluminium.
Product code: PVP1
These vacuum generators also operate based on the Venturi principle.
The feature that distinguishes them from classic vacuum generators are the two air supply and the vacuum connections, located on the same axis, while the connection relative to the intake-air discharge and exhaust air connections are set orthogonally to them.
The advantages of this configuration are less bulky dimensions, easy assembly, and ease of maintenance. These vacuum generators can be assembled directly onto the vacuum cup supports or on cup holders.
They are fully made with anodised aluminium, except the exhaust nozzle which is made with brass.
Product codes: GV1 GV2 GV3
This particular sleeve valve has been constructed to ensure a faster restoration of the atmospheric pressure inside the vacuum cups when the load is disconnected.
When it is pneumatically operated at the end of the cycle, it closes the generator discharge connection, conveying the supply air in the connection of use. In this way, the vacuum cups are immediately detached. It is suitable for generators with capacities not exceeding 15 mc/h and designed especially for series MSVE.
It is made of anodised aluminium, with an integrated silicone sleeve membrane.
Product code: 070290
Single-stage vacuum generator PVP 2 M, PVP 2 MM1, PVP 2 MM2 and PVP 2 MM3
The vacuum generators on this page are based on the same Venturi principle of those previously described and provide the same technical performance. They however differ in their structure.
The vacuum connection U is in fact threaded to allow for assembly of a vacuum cup with male or female support while, on the same axis but on the opposite side, a hole with metric threading allows for the generator to be installed directly on the machine or on the cup holders equipped with springing.
They are fully made with anodised aluminium, with brass ejectors. Equipped with a vacuum cup, these are they are truly self-contained gripping units. They are suited for vacuum cup operated loaders or handlers, for gripping sheet steel, glass slabs, plastic panels and other similar products.
Upon request, they can be supplied with a high sound suppression silencer installed on the R exhaust connection.
Product codes: PVP2M PVP2M PVP2MM1 PVP2MM2 PVP2MM3
COAXIAL SHUTTER SERVO-CONTROLLED PNEUMATIC VALVES
These coaxial shutter valves, pneumatically driven by a vacuum switch or an alternative source, are able to intercept the compressed air supply to the vacuum generators, with pressures between 1.5 and 7 bar. They must be chosen based on the generator power supply connection and the required air quantity.
Product codes: 070071 070171 070271
COAXIAL SHUTTER SERVO-CONTROLLED PNEUMATIC SOLENOID VALVES
The function of these solenoid valves is to intercept the compressed air supply to the vacuum generators. Interception through an original coaxial shutter allows the supply of large quantities of air, thus ensuring greater gripping speed of the vacuum cups.
They are composed of an anodised aluminium body with an integrated coaxial shutter, pneumatically operated by a micro solenoid valve with low absorption electric coil, capable of managing operating pressures between 1.5 and 7 bar.
They can be controlled via vacuum switches or simple electrical switches.
Thanks to their compactness, it is also possible to install them directly on the vacuum generators, thus eliminating unnecessary pipes and negative volumes.
Product codes: VPE00NCV24CC VPE00NOV24CC VPE01NCV24CC VPE01NOV24CC VPE02NCV24CC VPE02NOV24CC VPE03NCV24CC VPE03NOV24CC VPE04NCV24CC VPE04NOV24CC
Vacuum generators PVP ... SX/SXLP, operate making use of the previously described Venturi principle.
A special new generation silencer installed on them makes them very silent and, thanks to its shape, prevents them from becoming clogged, also allowing the suction of saturated fluids of water condensates or oils, mixed with fine or impalpable powders.
They are supplied as standard with a vacuum gauge for reading the level of vacuum. An additional connection on the body of the generator allows the installation of a vacuum switch for signalling the level of vacuum, or of a pneumatic solenoid valve for a quick restoration of the atmospheric pressure of use. They are fully made with anodised aluminium, with stainless steel ejectors and screws.
These vacuum generators can be used for connecting one or more vacuum cups or equipment with flow rate requirements within the shown values and can operate in particularly dusty or damp environments.

Multi-stage vacuum generators - General description
Our multi-stage vacuum generators produce a maximum vacuum of 90%, equal to a final vacuum level of 100 mbar abs., with different suction capacities. They operate by use of compressed air from 1 to 6 bar. Working principle
Each ejector is based on the Venturi principle: the supply fluid (compressed air) is led high speed by a convergent pipe into the fluid to be extracted (volume of the air to be sucked). This mixture is then led into two or three divergent pipes, where its kinetic energy is transformed into pressure energy for it to enter in the environment at a higher pressure (atmospheric pressure at the exhaust). Technical features
The main asset of multi-stage vacuum generators is its ability to exploit the kinetic energy of the supply compressed air via several specially dimensioned in-line ejectors, before releasing it in the atmosphere. This system allows, given the same capacity, a reduced compressed air consumption compared to the single-stage vacuum generators.
The suction flow rate is indirectly proportional to the differential between the pressure of the fluid to be sucked and the external (atmospheric) pressure.
The reduced size and weight make multi-stage vacuum generators compact in relation to their great suction capacity.
The absence of moving parts make them particularly silent and allow them to be used continuously, without developing heat. Being supplied exclusively by compressed air, these vacuum generators are explosion-proof and can be used in work environments with temperatures ranging from -20 to +80 °C.
They are fully made with stainless materials.
Thanks to all these features, a good filtration of the supply and sucked compressed air is sufficient to make these generators are fully maintenance-free.
These new design vacuum generators feature multiple state of the art ejectors assembled onto small modules. One of their distinctive features is their great suction flow rate compared to their reduced size.
With a compressed air supply of 4 - 5 bar, they can produce a maximum vacuum equal to 85% and a suction flow rate of 3.6 - 18 m3/h, according to the number of modules.
The silencer is built-in.
They are fully made with slightly anodised alloys and can be installed in any position. The multi-stage vacuum generators in this range are suited for interconnecting vacuum cup gripping systems and, in particular, in the industrial robotics sector, which requires equipment with excellent working performance, but with weight and size reduced to the minimum.
Product codes: M3 M7
VACUMANAGER VM series units are integrated electro-pneumatic circuits designed to supply and manage single-stage and multi-stage vacuum generators. VM units house the following in an anodised body/distributor machined from billet aluminium:
_ Digital vacuum switch with display (standard), also available on request in a version with IO-Link communication;
_ Compressed air supply valve;
_ Blow off valve;
_ Flow regulator for the blow off valve.
A compact electro-pneumatic control circuit that incorporates all components for the management of vacuum and blow off generation in a handling system equipped with vacuum cups and powered by pneumatic vacuum generators (single-stage or multi-stage).
In combination with the Vuototecnica Energy Saving cables, these represent the best solution in terms of energy efficiency, as they limit the consumption of the compressed air supplying the pneumatic vacuum generators to the time strictly necessary to empty the vacuum cups.
This energy-saving solution is even more valued and appreciated in all vacuum cup handling operations for products with excellent sealing or with micro-porosity (metal sheets, glass, wood or plastic veneered panels, etc.).
Vuototecnica also recommends VM units for handling all Octopus gripping systems equipped with pneumatic vacuum generators and shut-off valves.
Product codes: VM01 VM03 VM01IO VM03IO 0015202 0015157 0007424 001220 001221 007304 0015447 123010
These vacuum generators share the same technical features as the others of the M series described above. Their distinctive feature is their silent operation.
In fact, along with the built-in silencer, they also have an external SSX silencer for a further noise reduction.
These generators are particularly recommended in work environments where the noise level must be kept within very low values.
Product codes: M3SSX M7SSX
Single-stage and multi-function vacuum generators series MSVE - General description
The vacuum generators of this new series can fully drive a negative pressure gripping system. By means of coaxial shutters, the original compressed air supply system feeds large quantities of air to both the ejectors and the ejection system, thereby ensuring faster gripping and release of the load.
These vacuum generators are equipped with single-stage ejectors, are powered by low pressure (max. 4 bar), and feature an extremely high emptying speed in relation to their suction flow rate. All this allows for increasingly faster high-performance work cycles.
Two micro solenoid valves manage the compressed air supply to the vacuum ejector and adjustable discharge blow off. The intensity and duration of the latter are managed through a screw-type flow regulator. The check valve built into the suction connector maintains the vacuum in the event of a power outage.
A digital vacuum switch, equipped with a display and commutation LED, manages the compressed air supply and provides a signal to start a cycle under safety conditions. An anodised aluminium distributor with vacuum connectors has an integrated suction filter that can be easily inspected.
By activating the compressed air power micro solenoid valve, the generator creates vacuum for use. As soon as the set maximum value is reached, the digital vacuum switch acts on the electric coil of the micro solenoid valve and stops the air supply, reactivating it when the vacuum falls below the minimum level.
Besides maintaining the vacuum level within set safety values (hysteresis), this modulation allows for considerable compressed air savings. A second signal from the vacuum switch (also adjustable and independent with respect to the first) can be used to start the cycle when the vacuum level reached is suitable for use. Once the work cycle is completed, the micro solenoid valve that supplies compressed air to the generator is deactivated while, at the same time, the ejection solenoid valve is activated for quick restoration of the atmospheric pressure upon use.
The MSVE vacuum generators can be installed in any position and are suitable for suction gripping systems, handling metal sheets, glass, marble, ceramics, plastic, cardboard, wood, etc. and, in particular, for the industrial robotics sector, where equipment with excellent performance and limited weight and bulk are increasingly required.

Multi-stage, multi-function and modular vacuum generators, series GVMM – General description
Modular multi-function vacuum generators are true independent vacuum units that offer an entire vacuum control system.
They feature a reduced thickness and weight compared to their suction flow rate and they have been designed to be assembled with screws to one or more intermediate modules MI. The original internal connection system for the compressed air supply allows communication with no need for external manifolds.
This modular system allows increasing the number of independent vacuum units according to the requirements. In fact, you can order a multi-function vacuum generator and the intermediate modules with the desired capacities, already assembled, or you can assemble one or more intermediate modules to the GVMM generator that has already been installed on the machine, without having to make particular modifications. GVMM vacuum generators are composed of an anodised aluminium mono-block with lid, inside of which the silenced multiple ejectors are installed and the vacuum chamber and the compressed air supply connection are contained.
The following are instead installed on the outside:
- A micro solenoid valve for supplying compressed air to the generator.
- A micro solenoid valve for blowing the exhaust compressed air.
- An adjustable flow regulator for dosing the exhaust air.
- A digital vacuum switch provided with display and commutation LEDs, for managing the compressed air supply and for signalling the safety cycle start-up.
- An anodised aluminium or transparent Plexiglass manifold provided with vacuum connections with built-in suction filter, easy to inspect, and a check valve for maintaining the vacuum in case of electricity or compressed air failure.
By activating the compressed air power micro solenoid valve, the generator creates vacuum for use. As soon as the preset maximum value is reached, the digital vacuum switch acts on the electric coil of the micro solenoid valve and stops the air supply, reactivating it when the vacuum falls below the minimum level.Besides maintaining the level of vacuum within set safety values (hysteresis), this modulation allows for considerable compressed air savings.
A second signal from the vacuum switch (also adjustable and independent with respect to the first) can be used to start the cycle when the level of vacuum reached is suitable for use. Once the work cycle is completed, the micro solenoid valve that supplies air to the generator is deactivated while, at the same time, the ejection solenoid valve is activated for quick restoration of the atmospheric pressure upon use.
GVMM multi-function vacuum generators can be installed in any position and are suited for interconnecting vacuum gripping systems for handling sheet steel, glass, marble, ceramic, plastic, cardboard, wood, etc., and, in particular, for the industrial robotics sector which requires equipment with excellent performance and several independent vacuum units for controlling several applications but with reduced size and weight.
Multi-stage, multi-function and modular intermediate vacuum modules series MI - General description
Intermediate modules are non-independent multi-stage and multi-function vacuum generators to be assembled to the generators of the GVMM range.
Their thickness and weight are reduced to the maximum compared to their suction flow rate and they have been designed to be enclosed between the lid and the base of the GVMM vacuum generator and fixed with screws. The internal connections for the compressed air supply allow communication between them and the basic generator, with no need for external manifolds.
This way, each module becomes an independent vacuum unit that can control an entire vacuum system.
They can be ordered in the desired amount and flow rate, either already assembled onto the GVMM multi-function vacuum generator, or separately, to be assembled to the GVMM generator previously installed onto the machine. In this case, we suggest ordering a screw kit suitable for the number of modules to be assembled.
MI intermediate vacuum modules are made up of the same elements that compose GVMM generators, except for the lid. They operate and they are used as the GVMM multi-function vacuum generator onto which they are assembled.
GVMM multi-function vacuum generators can be assembled with one or more intermediate modules, thus forming a modular vacuum system, featuring a compact shape and reduced size and weight.
As a standard, up to 6 vacuum units can be assembled, but using threaded bars instead allows assembling even more.

Single-stage and multi-function vacuum generators series AVG – General information
These generators are independent vacuum units capable of driving a vacuum gripping system They have been specially designed for the AUTOMOTIVE sector and they are equipped with single ejectors that, given the same flow rate as the multi-ejector generators, allow for a quicker grip.
They are provided as standard with a built-in pneumatic energy-saving device.
They are composed of an anodised aluminium mono-block structure, inside of which are installed the ejectors, the servo-controlled slide valve for the compressed air supply and are contained the vacuum chambers as well as the various connections.
The following are instead installed on the outside:
- A bistable impulse solenoid valve for controlling the slide valve.
- A solenoid valve for blowing the ejected compressed air.
- A flow regulator for dosing the ejected compressed air.
- Two silencers for removing noise from the ejected air.
- An aluminium manifold provided with vacuum connections with built-in:
• A pneumatic vacuum switch for managing the compressed air supply according to the set level of vacuum (energy saving).
• A check valve for maintaining the vacuum in case of electricity or compressed air failure.
• A suction filter, easy to inspect through the transparent polycarbonate lid.
OPERATION
By providing an electric impulse to the two-position solenoid valve, the compressed air supply slide valve will be activated and vacuum will be created at the application. Once the preset maximum value has been reached, the pneumatic vacuum switch acts on the servo-controlled valve and interrupts the compressed air supply, restoring it when the value returns below the minimum value.
Besides maintaining the level of vacuum within preset safety values, this modulation also allows a considerable saving of compressed air and occurs even in the absence of electricity. Once the work cycle is completed, the power supply solenoid valve is deactivated by means of an electrical pulse while, at the same time, the ejection solenoid valve is activated for quick restoration of the atmospheric pressure of use.
AVG vacuum generators are fitted for the installation of a digital vacuum switch. Also these vacuum generators can be installed in any position.

Multi-stage and modular vacuum generators PVP 150 MD / MDLP ÷ 750 MD / MDLP - General description
The special shape of these vacuum generators has allowed obtaining great suction capacities in very limited overall dimensions.
The new design stainless steel ejectors are assembled on modular frames; the overlapping of one or more frames defines the flow rate of the generators. They are supplied with a flow rate ranging from 85 e 900 m3/h and a maximum level of vacuum of -90KPa. The supply pressure goes from 4-6 bar for MD items and from 1-3 bar for MDLP items.

The sealing gaskets and disc valves are EPDM as standard, but can be supplied in FKM upon request. Also upon request, an energy saving kit for the compressed air ES (Energy Saving System) can be supplied. It is composed of a pneumatic coaxial shutter valve for supply of the compressed air, an integrated pneumatic vacuum switch, a reed valve kit for the check system and a flexible tube with quick fitting to monitor and transmit the value of the level of vacuum to the vacuum switch.
Perfectly soundproofed with silencers built into all generators, offering extremely quiet operation.
Working principle
The compressed air supply blown into a ring chamber concentric to the device, flows at a very high speed towards the centre of the main pipe, thus forming a cyclonic effect. The latter creates a vacuum inside the device and leads a great volume of air towards its outlet.
Therefore, a variation of the air supply pressure will modify the level of vacuum and the amount of sucked air.
Features
The special shape of the flow generators and their straight-flow working principle allow for the suctioning and handling of various nature products without interference. Vacuum Jets are in fact suitable for the handling of powders, granulated products, sawdust, corn, metal chips, liquid or dry food products, etc., or for extracting fumes, coolant mists, water or oil condensation, etc.
The absence of moving parts allows them to be used continuously, without developing heat.
They do not require electricity; therefore, they can be used in work environments with hazardous environments where an ignition source would be dangerous.
Available in anodised aluminium and stainless steel.
Thanks to all these features, a good filtration of the compressed air supply will be sufficient to make these devices fully maintenance-free.
Also the construction of this cartridge vacuum generator was necessary in order to meet the demand for ever smaller and more performing devices in the packaging sector.
The compressed air supply pressure is between 1 and 3 bar, while the maximum level of vacuum is -52 KPa, with a flow rate of 2.6 m3/h.
Also the shape of these generators, like the previous ones described, allows for the suction of dust and small processing waste without clogging problems.
They are made of brass as standard, but upon request they can also be supplied in different metals.
Product code: PVR3OT

Conveyor adjustable vacuum generators - General description
Working principle
These vacuum generators operate based on the Venturi principle.
Unlike those previously described, the ejectors with which they are supplied are adjustable, in addition to having a considerably higher flow diameter.
This detail lets them vary the flow rate and level of vacuum of the device, without altering the level of vacuum of the supply air.
The compressed air consumption is also related to the actual performance of the vacuum generator.
Features
The special shape of these adjustable vacuum generators, as well as their straight-flow working principle allow sucking and transferring products of various nature with no interference, just like flow generators, only, unlike these, they allow overcoming much higher level differences.
They are suited for transferring powders, granulated products, sawdust, metal chips, dry or liquid food products, etc. They are also recommended for controlling vacuum cups in presence of large amounts of dust or liquids, as well as for sucking fumes, cooling mists, water and oil condensation, etc. The absence of moving parts allows for a continuous use without developing heat.
The noise level, which is quite high for this kind of equipment, can be considerably reduced with a silencer screwed on the exhaust connection.
They do not require electricity, therefore, they can even be used in work environments with hazardous environments where an ignition source would be dangerous.
Available in anodised aluminium and stainless steel.
Thanks to all these features, a good filtration of the compressed air supply will be sufficient to make these devices fully maintenance-free.

With their extremely reduced size and high performance, these single-stage vacuum generators operate making use of the Venturi principle. Supplying the generator with compressed air in P, vacuum will be generated at connection U, while both the supply and the sucked air will be released through R. By interrupting the air supply in P, the vacuum effect in U will also stop.
The vacuum generators described on this page are generally used for interconnecting vacuum cups, for gripping and handling non-porous objects and equipment with low flow rate requirements. They are made with anodised aluminium, with ejectors in aluminium (PVP05) or in brass (PVP2 - PVP3).
Upon request, they can be supplied with a high sound suppression silencer installed on the R exhaust connection.
Product code: PVP05
The operation of these single-stage vacuum generators is also based on the Venturi principle. It differs from the generators described above for its increased suction flow rate, lower supply air pressure, lower than 4 bar to obtain the best performance, and for the SSX … silencer with high acoustic dampening, installed as standard on the R exhaust connection.
They are also used in the automotive sector to control vacuum cups, for the handling and gripping of only slightly porous objects, sheet, wood panel, marble slab and glass and other similar objects.
They are fully made with anodised aluminium.

OCTOPUS vacuum gripping system - General description
The OCTOPUS system is our answer to the ever increasing requirements of operational flexibility for palletising robots and vacuum gripping systems in general.
In fact, this system allows gripping objects of any shape and nature, provided that they do not have an excessive transpiration, without having to place or change vacuum cups, and even when their surface occupies only 5% of the entire suction plate. The maximum weight of the load to be lifted will obviously be proportional to the gripping surface.
Standard OCTOPUS systems are composed of:
- One or two compressed air-fed vacuum generator as shown in the picture and in the drawing, that has to be ordered separately, since it is not included in the code, with the exception of item SO 15 20 MX.
- An anodised aluminium box, open on one side, with a built-in micro-fine mesh filter in stainless steel that protects the vacuum generator and is very easy to inspect. On the top outside of the box there are one or more connections for possible installation of control devices or solenoid valves for prompt restoration of the atmospheric pressure on its inside.
- A suction plate sealing the box, also made with anodised aluminium, with calibrated holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special perforated foam rubber. This suction plate can thus perfectly adapt to any gripping surface, whether it be smooth, rough or irregular. With the same system, for instance, it is possible to grip and handle cardboard boxes and the wooden pallet that supports it.
These OCTOPUS systems are also available upon request in dimensions and with vacuum tables and vacuum generators other than those indicated in the tables.
The standard OCTOPUS systems represented on this page differ from those previously described by their larger dimensions and the number of vacuum generators that compose them. More precisely:
- Two compressed air-fed vacuum generator as shown in the picture and in the drawing, that have to be ordered separately, since it is not included in the item code.
- An anodised aluminium box, open on one side, with a built-in micro-fine mesh filter in stainless steel that protects the vacuum generator and is very easy to inspect. On the top outside of the box there are one or more connections for possible installation of control devices or solenoid valves for prompt restoration of the atmospheric pressure on its inside.
- A suction plate sealing the box, also made with anodised aluminium, with calibrated holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special perforated foam rubber. This suction plate can thus perfectly adapt to any gripping surface, whether it be smooth, rough or irregular. With the same system, for instance, it is possible to grip and handle tomato jars, paint cans, ceramic tiles, cardboard boxes, etc. and the wooden pallet that supports them.
These OCTOPUS systems are also available upon request in dimensions and with vacuum tables and vacuum generators other than those indicated in the table.

Standard suction plates PX and P2X for OCTOPUS systems
The suction plates PX described on this page are installed as standard on all OCTOPUS systems and, therefore, can be supplied as a spare or replacement part.
They are made with anodised aluminium sheets with calibrated holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special perforated foam rubber with two different thicknesses: 15 mm for suction plates of the PX range; 30 mm, for special suction plates of the P2X range.
The foam rubber is also perforated at the calibrated holes, but its holes have a diameter of 10-15 mm. The use of calibrated holes allows for exact calculation of the flow rate of the vacuum generator to be used, to ensure that, even in the presence of losses due to transpiration or even in case of failure to cover the object to be gripped, a minimum sufficient level of vacuum remains for gripping and handling the load.
Their lifting force was calculated considering a level of vacuum of at least -75 Kpa, the total surface of the holes within the foam rubber and a factor of safety 3.

Standard suction plates with shut-off valves PXE and P2XE for OCTOPUS systems
The suction plates described on this page are the same as the previously described PX and P2X, but with the addition of shut-off valves inserted in each hole. In absence of an object to grip or in case of a defective grip of the foam rubber, the shut-off valves automatically close the suction inlet, thus preventing the level of vacuum from decreasing on the other gripping holes.
This feature reduces the vacuum generator flow rate compared to standard OCTOPUS systems, to the benefit of energy savings. Moreover, the particular shape of our shut-off valves allows the use of the gripping surfaces in any position.

Special suction plates with shut-off valves PY2E and P2Y2E for OCTOPUS systems
The suction plates described on this page are the same as the previously described PY and P2Y, but with the addition of shut-off valves inserted in each hole. In absence of an object to grip or in case of a defective grip of the foam rubber, the shut-off valves automatically close the suction inlet, thus preventing the level of vacuum from decreasing on the other gripping holes.

These suction plates provided with vacuum cups have been designed to ensure a better grip on uneven and very flexible surfaces (pasta or candy bags, blister or skin-film packs, thin cardboard boxes, etc.), which are difficult to grip with suction plates coated with foam rubber. We recommend using bellows cups.
Thanks to their great flexibility, they adapt themselves to any gripping surface, following its profiles and movements during the lifting phase, guaranteeing a firm and safe grip. They are made with anodised aluminium, as are the vacuum cup supports screwed onto them, which are 1/8” gas supports for the PV version and 1/4”gas for the P2V version. They are each equipped with a calibrated hole.
The cups are cold assembled onto the supports with no adhesives and can be provided in other compounds. Also these suction plates are perfectly interchangeable with the standard ones.
Their lifting force has been calculated considering a level of vacuum of at least -75 Kpa, the total vacuum cup surface and a safety factor 3.Upon request, they can be provided with different cups, as long as the diameter does not exceed 22 mm for the PV suction plates and 45 mm for the P2V ones.

Vacuum cup suction plates with shut-off valves PVE for OCTOPUS systems
The suction plates described on this page are the same as the previously described PY and P2V, but with the addition of shut-off valves inserted in each vacuum cup support connection.
In absence of an object to grip or in case of a defective grip of the cup, the shut-off valves automatically close the suction inlet, thus preventing the level of vacuum from decreasing on the other gripping vacuum cups.
This feature reduces the vacuum generator flow rate compared to OCTOPUS systems with calibrated holes, to the benefit of energy savings. Also these plates an be used in any position without compromising correct operation.

OCTOPUS vacuum gripping bars - General description
These bars have been created to further facilitate the installation of OCTOPUS vacuum gripping systems on palletising robots. They are based on the same operating principle and, in addition to the advantages and technical features of the standard OCTOPUS, are equipped with a grooved support plate to allow quick installation on the machine and easy positioning with respect to the load to be gripped.
They are in fact composed of:
- A slotted anodised aluminium fixing plate for quick installation onto the machine
- One or more compressed air-fed vacuum generators, depending on their size
- A connection equipped with quick coupling for feeding compressed air to the generators
- An anodised aluminium box, open on one side, with two air inlet connections inside at the end of the cycle, for quick restoration of the atmospheric pressure and one for possible installation of a vacuum switch.
- A suction plate sealing the box, also made with anodised aluminium, with calibrated holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special perforated foam rubber. This suction plate can thus perfectly adapt to any gripping surface, whether it be smooth, rough or irregular. With the same bar, for example, it is possible to grip and move wooden joists or metal profiles and the pallet that supports them.
The OCTOPUS gripping bars described so far are the standard bars: they can be supplied upon request with suction plates and with shut-off valves and, to make them even lighter, the aluminium parts can be made of Polizene, a thermoplastic material that decreases the weight by about 40%.
Vacuum cup suction plates with shut-off valves PVE for OCTOPUS gripping bars
The suction plates described on this page are the same as the previously described PY and P2V, but with the addition of shut-off valves inserted in each vacuum cup support connection. In absence of an object to grip or in case of a defective grip of the cup, the shutoff valves automatically close the suction inlet, thus preventing the level of vacuum from decreasing on the other gripping vacuum cups.
This feature reduces the vacuum generator flow rate compared to standard OCTOPUS gripping bars with calibrated holes, to the benefit of energy savings. Their particular shape of our shut-off valves allows the use of the gripping surfaces in any position.

Special PH and P2H suction plates for octopus systems for gripping empty cans, tins, jars and vials without lids or caps
The special suction plates illustrated and described on this page can be installed on OCTOPUS systems to replace the PX and P2X plates.
They are made of anodised aluminium sheets with holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special sponge rubber, microperforated at the holes in the aluminium sheet, in two different thicknesses: 15 mm for PH suction plates and 30 mm for P2H plates.
The use of calibrated holes makes it possible to calculate the flow rate of the vacuum generator to be installed on the OCTOPUS SYSTEM, to ensure that, even in the presence of losses due to transpiration or the absence of some objects to be picked up, there is always a minimum vacuum value, sufficient to grip even the few remaining containers.
The use of these suction plates is recommended for gripping and handling empty cans, tins, vials and jars made of various materials and without lids or caps.
The lifting force of the container will be directly proportional to the degree of vacuum generated on the surface of the mouth of the can or vial to be picked up.
Note: These plates are not suitable for picking up empty plastic or glass water and wine bottles.
All flexible containers must be previously vacuum tested to avoid the risk of implosion.

The experience and production capacity of Vuototecnica has originated a division specially dedicated to the graphics and printing sector. A reference entity, ranging from engineering to services, that offers innovative and advantageous technical solutions under every point of view: performance, reliability, duration and operational economy. A significant demonstration of the Graphic Division specialisation is represented by the new range of products among which:
PNEUMATIC SUCTION AND BLOWING PUMPS
This new generation of highly versatile multiple-ejector pumps (multi-stage) are able to suction or blow as needed and represent a real evolution compared to conventional rotary vane pumps. Characterised by their new generation of ejectors, these pumps boast an excellent ratio between the quantity of air consumed and that suctioned (or generated), benefiting operational consumption. Their level of vacuum (or pressure level) and flow rate can be adjusted based simply on the air supply pressure. The state of the art hi-tech materials have considerably reduced the weight allowing them to be installed directly on the machine. The Vuototecnica research centre has focused its attention on noise reduction, with solutions that provide for full soundproofing and no moving parts, thus prolonging duration and eliminating any vibrations. Furthermore, these pumps are based on the Venturi principle which exploits the compressed air kinetic energy via in-line ejectors and, therefore, do not develop heat. The excellent filtration of the compressed air supply and intake air allows the intake of air free from oil, water condensates and impurities from between the sheets of paper to be separated in the working environment, with no pollution. Other assets of this safe and competitive technology include a minimal maintenance, limited to a regular filter cleaning operation, and reliability with no comparison. The pneumatic suction and blowing pumps are described in the following pages.
VACUUM CYLINDERS
By assembling a vacuum cup onto their perforated stem and creating a vacuum, the cup will quickly come into contact with the sheet or the object to be handled and it will automatically lift it, holding it until the vacuum is excluded. Thanks to all these features, this range of cylinders combined with cups are particularly recommended for separating sheets of paper or plastic. Advantages include: high speed operation, automatic compensation of the height of the objects to be lifted, non-rotating stems and extremely easy fixing. These vacuum cylinders are illustrated and described on the following pages.
VACUUM CUPS
These come in a large variety of shapes and sizes, to guarantee a quick and safe grip and they can be provided in anti-abrasion natural para rubber, nitrile or oil-resistant rubber, silicone, FKM, polyurethane and other compounds, according to the requirements.Vacuum cups are described in detail in Chapter 1. This chapter on the other hand will focus on disc cups only.
The assembly of a pressure adjuster equipped with pressure gauge and of an FCL filter on the suction inlet connection of a vacuum generator of the M .. SSX range has allowed creating these small pneumatic suction pumps. Their main features include reduced overall dimensions compared to their technical performance.
The level of vacuum and flow rate can be adjusted according to the supply air pressure.
These pumps are powered with compressed air with a pressure ranging from 1 to 5 bar and they can produce a maximum vacuum of 85% and a suction flow rate between 2 and 18 m3/h, measured at a normal atmospheric pressure of 1013 mbar.
Based on the Venturi principle, they do not develop heat.
An SSX silencer screwed onto the pump exhaust ensures a silent operation. The filter equipped with a microporous cartridge is located on the suction inlet connection and can keep the finest dust and impurities.
Thanks to their static operating principle, maintenance is reduced to only a simple regular cleaning of the filter.
Product codes: PA3 PA7
A state of the art range of ejectors has allowed creating this range of pneumatic suction pumps featuring an excellent ratio between the amount of consumed air and sucked air, as well as the ability to adjust the vacuum level and capacity according to the supply air pressure.
These pumps are supplied by compressed air with a pressure ranging from 1 to 6 bar (g), and they can produce a maximum vacuum of 90% and a suction capacity between 15 and 320 cum/h, measured at a normal atmospheric pressure of 1013 mbar.
When designing these pumps our attention was focused on noise. In fact, they are perfectly soundproofed and there are no moving parts subject to wear and vibrations. All this results in an extremely silent operation.
Moreover, being based on the Venturi principle, they do not develop heat.
As a standard, they are equipped with a filter/pressure reducer unit for the supply air and a filter with microporous cartridge located on the suction inlet connection which can keep the finest dust and impurities.
The excellent compressed air and sucked filtration allows blowing air free from oil vapours, water condensation and impurities in the work environment, causing no pollution.
The use of light alloys for making these pumps has allowed a considerable reduction of their weight thus allowing them to be directly installed onto the machine. Thanks to their static operating principle, maintenance is reduced to a simple regular cleaning of the filters.
Product codes: PA40 PA70 PA100

With the suction and blowing system AS, we have tried to provide the printing industry with an answer to most of their requirements regarding the management of paper during the printing process, or rather:
- The concentration of all the necessary pumps and commands on one single piece.
- An increased printing quality thanks to individually controlled pumps.
- An increase of productivity resulting from the configuration and use of individual pumps.
- Reduced machine idle state due to the pneumatic pumps based on the Venturi principle.
- An improvement of the work environment thanks to the noise reduction, absence of heat and the emission of air free of oil vapours, water condensation and impurities between the sheets of paper to be separated and in the work environment.
- Energy saving due to a low compressed air consumption compared to the amount of sucked (or generated) air.
- Maintenance reduced to a regular cleaning of the filters.
The suction and blowing system AS is composed of a metal, easy-to-place cabinet, inside of which the combined pneumatic pumps PA and PS are located with the supply compressed air interception and adjustment valves.
The suction and blowing capacities of the pumps are determined according to the client’s requirements or to technical specifications of the machine manufacturer.
The blowing and suction connectors are located on the sides of the cabinet for the connection to the application, as well as the filters equipped with micro-porous cartridge against fine dust.
The following are installed on the control panel:
- The pneumatic main switch for supply compressed air interception with a pressure gauge for a direct reading of the line pressure.- The pneumatic switches for supply compressed air interception of every single pump.
- The pressure reducers with relative pressure gauges for adjusting the compressed air of every single pump. The vacuum (or pressure) level as well as the pump flow rate can be adjusted according to the supply air pressure.
- Vacuum gauges and pressure gauges for a direct reading of the vacuum and pressure at the application. - Vacuum gauges for controlling the clogging level of the PS pump filters.
All our pneumatic suction and blowing pumps can be combined regardless of their suction and blowing flow rate and can be installed inside the system cabinet. Given the enormous number of possible combinations, this catalogue only describes combinations of pumps with the same size.
Product code: AS4
Pneumatic suction and blowing pump suction filters
To allow the pneumatic suction and blowing pumps to work even in very dusty environments, it is necessary to use these filters that, installed on the suction inlet connection, can keep the finest dust and impurities and affecting the flow rate in a negligible manner.
The filtering cartridges, in fact, are made with a special treated paper with a porosity level of 5 - 7 micron, and pleated to increase the filtering surface.
FCL filters are composed of a transparent Plexiglass cylindrical body inside of which is located the filtering cartridge locked by two anodised aluminium flanges that are kept in place by Seeger rings, inside of which the threaded connectors and the seals are housed. The filters can be inspected by simply removing one of the two flanges. The container of the filtering element FP is made with plastic and it is screwed onto the blue plastic lid; a gasket located between the two elements ensures a perfect seal.
The container of the filtering element FC, as well as its lid, are made with sheet steel and varnished with a special oxidation-resistant treatment. A seal between the lid and the container ensures a perfect vacuum seal, while the release clamps on the container allow a quick opening of the lid to check or replace the filtering cartridge.

The cylinders described on this page are vacuum operated.
By creating a vacuum in the anterior chamber of the cylinder, the piston's integrated rod protrudes, overcoming the opposing spring force.
The piston is pushed by the air at atmospheric pressure that gets into the cylinder’s rear chamber through the hollow stem.
The greater the pressure differential between the front chamber under vacuum and the rear chamber at atmospheric pressure, and the larger the piston thrust force will be.
The stem returns into position in two ways:
1) By preventing the atmospheric air from entering through the stem hole and with the vacuum inserted, the pressure differential inside the cylinder is removed. Under this condition, the thrust spring and the atmospheric pressure forces prevail on the stem which is thus pushed into its initial position.
2) By excluding the vacuum, the atmospheric pressure is restored in both the cylinder chambers. Also in this case, being the pressure differential removed, the stem returns to its initial position pushed by the thrust spring.
The first of these two methods is the true operating principle for which this cylinder has been designed. When a vacuum is created, in fact, a vacuum cup mounted on the stem of the perforated cylinder will be brought rapidly into contact with the object to be taken. The object is then automatically lifted and remain gripped during the whole time the vacuum stays engaged.
Because of this feature, vacuum cylinders associated with vacuum cups are recommended for gripping and handling machined, moulded or thermoformed objects, as well as for separating sheets of paper or plastic, sheet steel, etc. and lifting printed circuits or thin plastic panels.
The advantages offered by these vacuum cylinders include: short, fast quick cycles controlled by a single vacuum interception valve, automatic compensation of the height of the objects to be gripped with no compression on them, non-rotating piston and extremely easy fixing.
They are fully made with anodised aluminium and are equipped with a special self-lubricating technopolymer bush which guarantees long duration.

Product codes: DR100M01 DR100M02
These devices have been created for testing the weldings and, therefore, the sealing of cellophane or PVC wrappings for food products.
In fact, the wrapping placed inside a bell jar tends to inflate because of the pressure differential created between the air at atmospheric pressure contained inside and the vacuum created inside the bell jar. The higher the level of vacuum reached in the bell jar and the greater the thrust that the air contained in the wrapping will exert on the walls and, therefore, on the weldings.
The devices for vacuum tests are composed of:
- A mobile transparent Plexiglass bell jar.
- A support surface with seal.
- A dry rotating vane vacuum pump.
- Two 2-way manual valves for vacuum interception.
- A vacuum gauge for a direct reading of the level of vacuum and the atmospheric air in the bell jar at the end of the cycle.
- A switchgear enclosed in a special protective casing with a digital vacuum switch to adjust the level of vacuum in the bell jar.
- A bent sheet steel frame with anti-vibration feet for assembling all the components described above.
The level of vacuum that can be reached inside the bell jar depends on the pump installed.

Available in other versions upon request.
Product codes: ATS05 ATS20
The function of these devices is to test the welding sealing in flow-pack, cellophane or food product wrappings.
They are composed of:
- A transparent Plexiglass cylindrical container into which the water is poured and the vacuum is created.
- A mobile transparent Plexiglass lid with, on its lower part, a perforated disc fixed via a pin which is for keeping the flow-pack wrapping submerged in the water, in the container and on its upper part, the instruments for managing and controlling the vacuum.
- A multiple ejector multi-stage vacuum generator.
- A check valve located on the generator suction inlet to prevent the air from returning into the container when the generator is not in operation.
- A sleeve valve for compressed air interception.
- A supply compressed air reducer equipped with pressure gauge.
- A 2-way manual valve for restoring the atmospheric pressure inside the container.
The wrapping submerged in the water in the container tends to inflate because of the pressure differential produced between the air at atmospheric pressure on its inside and the vacuum created in the container. The higher the level of vacuum reached in the bell jar and the greater the thrust that the air contained in the wrapping will exert on the walls and, therefore, on the weldings. Any air leak from the wrapping due to a defecting welding is proved by bubbles that indicate the exact point of the welding that’s leaking. The level of vacuum that can be reached inside the bell jar depends on the pump installed.
The test values are adjustable and can be automatically repeated.
