The custom made vacuum solutions of Aerolift are able to operate stand-alone or in combination with other means of transport. For example: a reachstacker.
The vacuum handling devices of Aerolift are also used for internal transport. Here you can see how a vacuum lifter of Aerolift is used during the internal transport of pipes.
Aerolift engineered several solutions to demould piles. The solution here can demould piles up to 25 meters and with a tilt function it is even possible to store the piles close to each other.
All vacuum handling devices of Aerolift are custom made. We take account of the weight, the material, but also with the shape of the load. Here you can see how a vacuum lifter is used to position boiler fronts.
The Aerolift vacuum lifters are also used inside tunnel boring machines to transport the tunnel segments.
Vacuum handling applications are the ideal technology for internal transportation. The term ‘internal transport’ is used to describe the movement of goods and/or semi-finished products between processing stations, which frequently occurs in the manufacturing industry. These transporting systems can be (fully) automated or hand operated. Vacuum technology offers a variety of highly efficient solutions for internal transportation systems.
Material handling commonly takes place with overhead cranes, excavators, portal cranes, forklifts, etc., where products are moved repeatedly from one processing station to another. In situations with internal transport where the movement of products is repetitive, a (fully) automated system can be an effective solution. Together with Aerolift, you can discuss and choose a solution that is most suitable and cost effective for your operations.
With many years of experience in the industry, Aerolift has developed a wide range of vacuum lifters for more efficient material handling. The rapid speed of suction and releasing of vacuum technology, has significantly increased the speed of many production processes. With vacuum transport, no time is lost during pick-up or delivery of a load. Moreover, there is no need for installing hoisting gear such as straps and chains. Because no person needs to approach the load, the risk of injury when attaching a load is significantly reduced. Vacuum lifters are ideal for automated transportation systems, especially since it is not necessary to closely approach the load. The examples below offer an impression of the many applications of vacuum transportation in material handling.
Vacuum technology can be used for loading the cutting machines and releasing the end product. It can be used for semi-automated handling of aluminium products from or to stretching and bending machines. Vacuum technology is equally effective in the auto industry as part of a fully automated, robotised transportation system.
Vacuum technology can be used for handling the moulds and for handling the finished product. Vacuum technology finds many uses in the concrete industry. Staircases, balconies and concrete elements are transported to the construction location and finished on site by means of vacuum. Piping can be transported to those places where connections are being drilled and/or sleeves and wedges are milled. Wells are transported to the places where connections are being constructed or surface profiles are being poured. There are many more examples.
In addition to vacuum handling applications for internal transportation vacuum technology offers many more uses. Interested to hear what we can do for your business? Contact us now.
