SMC ZP3P series vacuum pad

Efficient and adaptable vacuum solutions are needed in the packaging, pharmaceutical, food and printing industries. SMC’s vacuum pads comply with FDA requirements and are designed for efficient handling, featuring a blue silicone rubber pad to prevent wrinkles.

The ZP3P series is equipped with a thin, soft pad skirt, which provides a strong grip and reduces leakage. This makes it a useful tool for thin workpieces that can be deformed during absorption. The product can be used to handle delicate objects like vinyl and film, due to the flat shape of the vacuum pad. Made from FDA compliant silicone rubber, the vacuum pad prevents wrinkles and damage to the product and is suited to a number of applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The product’s blue colour also improves its visibility during contamination inspections.

SMC has also released the fluoro blue ZP3P-JT Series, with a flat-style vacuum pad to handle soft film, paper or foil packages and sheets. The bellow style can absorb a larger range of bag shapes and pouches filled with food. In both cases, the rib design provides a fast and secure grip.

The pad design of the product is suitable for applications such as film packaging, palletising, printing and labelling. Consumers can choose from seven different types of adapters, and also have the option of a buffer.
