Description

Our high air flow vacuum system allows for the UniMove to lift many porous bags that low air flow or hard vacuum can. We utilize a standard bag suction foot with our unique flexible gasket that clings to uneven surfaces and ensures a solid grip each time. Within a matter of minutes, any operator can learn to move bags quickly and safely with our ergonomic bag lifting solutions.

Paper Bags: Due to their porous nature, paper bags sometimes require a high capacity unit to accommodate for the vacuum loss. An overly floppy, or underfilled bag may also need a screen insert which is installed inside of the bag foot to prevent the loose bag material from sucking into the chamber and choking off vacuum. Speak to your local UniMove expert for guidance.

Paper Bags with Plastic Liner: The plastic liners in paper bags generally negate the porous nature of the paper bags and allows for more efficient vacuum. In these instances, we can usually recommend the unit that is matched with the weigh to the bags being lifted. An overly floppy, or underfilled bag may also need a screen insert which is installed inside of the bag foot to prevent the loose bag material from sucking into the chamber and choking off vacuum.

Plastic Bags: Plastic bags are a solid material, and lacking in porosity. In these instances, we can usually recommend the unit that is matched with the weigh to the bags being lifted. An overly floppy, or underfilled bag may also need a screen insert which is installed inside of the bag foot to prevent the loose bag material from sucking into the chamber and choking off vacuum. Speak to your local UniMove expert for guidance.

Cloth or Woven Bags: These types of bags typically cannot be lifted by vacuum alone, and require a mechanical end effector. To best determine how to handle your cloth or woven bags, the UniMove test lab would need a sample sent in for testing. Speak to your local UniMove expert for guidance.
