Automation Equipment & Schmalz are your partners for vacuum technology within the food industry.

In today’s food industry, vacuum technology is absolutely indispensable. Vacuum is not only important for sealing food products, but is widely used to sort products on conveyor belts and package or repackage goods quickly and efficiently.

From bulk handling of goods to individual handling of finished product, Automation Equipment has a Schmalz product suitable for a wide range of applications.

Right from the start of the process, Schmalz Jumbo Tube lifters can be used for stacking and unstacking bulk materials such as 25kg powder bags, 20kg blocks of butter or cheese and even large sacks of cocoa beans or coffee beans.

Further down the process the range of Schmalz products Automation Equipment has access to gives you many options for both the handling of product directly, and the handling of packaging for your food products. 

In order to ensure that food products such as muffins, waffles, cookies, chocolates and even eggs can be handled with the necessary care, suction cups must be able to flexibly adapt to the surface characteristics of different foods. This helps to prevent vacuum leakage and also ensures that products can be handled quickly and reliably.

The food industry places exacting demands on the suction cup materials used in order to prevent contamination of the food products being handled. Schmalz suction cups for the food and beverage industry are made using FDA-compliant materials and also comply with EC Regulation No. 1935/2004.
