ANVER Vacuum Material Handling

ANVER VT Vacuum Tube Lifters can be equipped with a release assist valve: Model VT-RAV-M for the Mini VT series vacuum tube lifters and model VT-RAV-S for the Standard VT series lifters. The VT-RAV-M/S valve will aid in the release of any load, and is especially useful when handling loads that require extra effort to break the vacuum seal when attempting to release the load. The VT-RAV-M/S is recommended for use with multi-pad vacuum tube lifters equipped with articulating extended length handles.

Principle of Operation:
The operation of the lifter for attaching and lifting the load is the same as for a standard lifter without this feature. To release the load, once the load is in it’s release position, fully depress the control lever, and tilt up the pad attachment to break the vacuum seal. If the seal cannot be broken in this manner, pull and hold the release lever while holding the control handle down. Once the seal is broken, and the load is released, release the control handle and release lever, and the lifter will rise up. Once the lifter is clear of the load, reposition the vacuum lifter to it’s working height.
