ANVER VB
Vacuum Lifting Systems are fully integrated material handling systems designed for fast, safe, one person
handling of bags, boxes and other porous-type loads. A large, ultra high vacuum,
direct-drive vacuum pump provides the suction necessary for load attachment and holding; a rugged, electric
chain hoist or an air balancer is used for load lifting. The VB Vacuum-Hoist Lifting System is a fully integrated
lifting system for safe,
controlled handling of heavy, porous loads with lifting capacities of up to 1100
lb (500 kg).
Easy-to-use, ergonomically designed, fully integrated controls operate all
system components. Up and down hoist movement is controlled by two push
buttons for added safety.
Vacuum
attachment of the
load is continuous for maximum productivity. Electric hoists are suitable for one or two lifts
per minute. (For higher production rates, an
ANVER VT Vacuum Tube Lift System should be
considered).
The vacuum system
is used only to attach to and hold the load; the electric hoist or air
balancer provides the
lift. VB
Vacuum-Hoist Lifting Systems are ideally suited for heavy or complex loads
requiring sophisticated vacuum head attachments; for use with large crane
systems; or
for use under
low-headroom mezzanines.
VB
Vacuum-Hoist Lifting Systems with compressed air powered hoists / air balancers with higher duty cycles, or for use in explosive
environments, are also available. Contact
ANVER for special applications.

Features:
-
Precise
Lifting The VB
Vacuum-Hoist Lifting System chain hoist
or air balancer provides secure up/down movement. The load can be set in position to hang
exactly where set, with no vertical drift.
-
Compact Headroom The VB system's compact design requires little headroom. The standard lift length
varies depending on which model is selected. Consult factory for headroom and lift length
dimensions. Standard load
capacities range from 275 to 1,100 lb (125 to 500 kg).
-
Integrated Controls
Easy-to-use, ergonomically designed, fully integrated controls mounted on the handle
operate the hoist and vacuum release. Hoist up and down movement is controlled by two push buttons for
safety. A gauge to indicate vacuum level is mounted on the control for monitoring by the
operator. Extended length handles are also available.
-
Dual or Variable Speed Chain Hoist The rugged electric chain hoist offers secure, precise movement and allows the operator to release
or hold the load at an exact height. This feature is very useful for applications such as
slowly pouring the contents of a bag into a hopper.

- Adjustable Vacuum Level
The VB
Vacuum-Hoist Lifting System's vacuum level can be reduced temporarily as might be necessary for separating porous
material such as individual sheets of particleboard from a stack.
- Independent Hoist Operation
VB
Vacuum-Hoist Lifting Systems combine the features of a vacuum lifter with those of a hoist and can be used
for either purpose. The switchover is easy and takes only a few seconds. A built-in slip
clutch stops the lift if the system is overloaded.
- Customized Systems
VB
Vacuum-Hoist Lifting Systems that
use compressed
air powered hoists / air balancers with higher duty cycles or for use in
explosive environments are also available. Contact ANVER for special applications.

* Actual
system lifting capacity is dependent upon the pad attachment and vacuum station
selected.

Note: The shown bag
emptying process works in most cases with ANVER's VB Vacuum Lifting
System (a unique capability) as the VB system is non-weight sensitive
with a constant suction flow (unlike vacuum tube lifting systems). |
