en.Wedoany.com Reported - Packline Materials Handling, a professional lifting and handling equipment manufacturer, has announced the production of a custom stainless steel vacuum lifter specifically designed for handling food ingredient bags in cleanroom and hygienic food processing environments. This solution is available globally through Packline and its US distributor, Ultrasource LLC.

Packline successfully designed and delivered a custom stainless steel vacuum lifting solution for a food processing client. The client needed to safely and efficiently handle bags of powdered food ingredients in a newly constructed cleanroom production facility.

This custom Vac-Line® stainless steel vacuum lifter enables food manufacturers to safely handle and empty ingredient bags in cleanroom environments while maintaining high standards of hygiene, efficiency, and operator safety.

The client required a lifting system capable of safely handling 25 kg (55 lb) ingredient bags placed on pallets on a mezzanine floor and transferring them directly to processing vessels. A key requirement was the ability to slit and empty the bags while maintaining continuous vacuum suction, ensuring controlled handling and complete discharge of product contents.

Due to the hygienic and wet production environment, the vacuum lifting equipment needed to meet strict food industry standards. Therefore, Packline constructed the system entirely from stainless steel and integrated an IP65-rated enclosure, making it suitable for washdown procedures and food manufacturing environments where hygiene and cleanliness are critical.

To accommodate the layout of the elevated mezzanine floor, Packline developed a custom vacuum lifting frame with an extended mast, providing the additional reach and lifting capacity required for the client's operations. Throughout the design process, Packline worked closely with the project team to adapt the solution as the production facility evolved, ensuring the final equipment met all operational and ergonomic requirements.

The completed system includes a double-jointed rotating arm stainless steel vacuum lifter with an extended frame and IP65 protection package. The vacuum suction head securely grips the ingredient bags, lifts them from the pallets at mezzanine level, and transfers them directly to the processing vessel. During the emptying process, the bag remains under constant vacuum, ensuring efficient ingredient transfer, complete product discharge, reduced waste, and improved operator safety.

Packline's Vac-Line® series of vacuum lifting equipment is designed to enhance workplace safety, reduce manual handling risks, and improve labor productivity across various industries. These high-quality vacuum lifters are manufactured at Packline's production facility in the UK, providing reliable performance for industrial applications such as food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical production, FMCG operations, warehousing, and logistics.

The new stainless steel vacuum bag lifter demonstrates Packline's commitment to providing custom material handling solutions that meet the specific requirements of clients operating in highly regulated environments. These units have a standard lifting capacity of up to 100 kg, are suitable for bags, boxes, and containers, and can be supplied in stainless steel construction for hygienic environments, along with IP65 protection ratings.

As food manufacturers continue to invest in automation, workplace safety, and hygienic production systems, the demand for specialized lifting equipment capable of operating in cleanroom and washdown environments continues to grow. Packline's latest stainless steel vacuum lifting solution provides food processors with a reliable method for safely handling ingredient bags while maintaining product quality and operational efficiency. Packline's engineering team works closely with clients to develop tailored lifting and handling solutions that address unique production challenges, helping businesses improve safety, reduce operator fatigue, and enhance manufacturing performance.

The stainless steel vacuum lifter is available directly from Packline Materials Handling in the UK and from Packline's authorized US distributor, Ultrasource LLC.
