ZP3P Silicone Rubber Suction Cups
The ZP3P series suction cups are made of a silicone rubber that is compliant with FDA21CFRSS1772600. The blue colored pad can be easily distinguished during contamination inspections. The sealing skirt design reduces leakage and offers a better sealing performance for film. Also incorporated into the design is a stopper support in the center to help wrinkle prevention on thin work pieces during adsorption.
ZP3P, Vertical Vacuum Inlet, w/Adapter
The ZP3P with adapter is manufactured from FDA-compliant blue silicone rubber and is used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods packaging industries where optical inspection systems detect machine wear or contamination on the production line. It has a thin, flexible outer sealing skirt and a rigid center stopper that support flexible packaging, keeping it flat, to maintain a tight seal.
ZP3P, Vertical Vacuum Inlet, w/Buffer
The ZP3P with buffer caters to customers dealing with inconsistent product presentation. It is used in automated lines where the exact pick height of the target object varies, such as picking stacked pouches or soft-sided food products off a conveyor. Instead of a rigid mount, this variation features a built-in spring buffer that absorbs impact forces during high-speed picking. By combining SMC's film-gripping center stopper design with an impact-absorbing buffer, manufacturers can safely and reliably pick up uneven flexible packages without losing suction or damaging the goods.
ZP3P-JT, Vertical Vacuum Inlet, w/Bellows
The ZP3P-JT with bellows is engineered for industries that handle irregularly shaped, sloped, or delicate items, such as bakeries, agricultural sorting facilities, and end-of-line automated case packing. Its defining feature is a bellows neck, which allows the cup body to flex, articulate, and conform to angled or spherical surfaces. A guide attachment within the bellows maintains structural integrity. giving users the angle compensation of a bellows cup with food-safe blue silicone construction and allowing them to lift awkward packages securely at high speeds.
ZP3P-WJT, Vacuum Pad, 2.5-Stage/Oval Bellows Type
The ZP3P-WJT oval with bellows meets the needs of packaging customers and OEMs dealing who must handle elongated, narrow, or contoured flexible products. The 2.5-stage bellows provides height compensation for reaching into deep bins, while the oval option maximizes the grip area on narrow items, ensuring that even oddly shaped or liquid-filled pouches can be manipulated without dropping.
