The new FQE-V area gripper enables precise and safe handling of individually shaped workpieces.

48 percent of food in Germany ends up in the bin instead of in the shopping bag. They are damaged or contaminated during processing, for example. Gentle and hygienic handling solutions can reduce these losses. Important here: the right design and material.

Picking and packing go hand in hand at FachPack 2021. At the Schmalz booth 4-245 in Hall 4, a lot will therefore revolve around manual handling: The JumboFlex will be mobile, can weigh and will be equipped with a new special gripper.

Less is more. This statement also applies to Schmalz's new PXT modular gripper system. Because users can assemble their gripper quickly and easily from just a few standard components - and even assemble it themselves if they wish.

J. Schmalz GmbH has expanded its proven VacuMaster Light series. In addition to two pre-configured vacuum lifting devices, a new version with a beam system is now also available to users. Based on a comprehensive modular system, it allows individual product configurations and thus even more areas of application for the vacuum lifting device.

Duravit not only attaches great importance to visual perfection, but also to ergonomic handling solutions during production. Duravit relies on vacuum tube lifters from vacuum specialist Schmalz to pack its beautifully designed ceramic sinks, which weigh up to 35 kilograms, into cardboard boxes after production. This reduces physically strenuous work as well as illness-related absences.

With the finger gripper OFG, Schmalz has a new gripper in its product range that grips in a tight-fitting and gentle manner. Delicate food products such as doughnuts, chocolate kisses, fruit, and vegetables are packaged safely and kept intact.

Schmalz has designed a new multi-gripper for the vacuum tube lifters in the JumboFlex series. Thanks to additive production technology, it is particularly light and compact. The multi-gripper is now available in two different formats.

J. Schmalz GmbH has developed a new gripper for automated handling: The FQE is suitable for a variety of different tasks, including on collaborative robots, and grips workpieces of varying shapes and sizes with speed and reliability.

Food-safe, lightweight and effective: these are just some of the key features of the new flow gripper SFG from Schmalz. They enable it to handle food products with highly textured surfaces quickly but gently.
