Able to handle thin pasta sheets

Piab is intro­duc­ing a suc­tion cup specif­i­cal­ly designed to han­dle thin and brit­tle food items such as the sheets of pas­ta used in lasagne or very thin slices of crack­er bread. A tai­lor-made solu­tion, the food con­tact approved F‑BXT cup is designed with an extra-long and thin lip enabling it to han­dle frag­ile pas­ta sheets with spe­cial care. Approved for direct food pick­ing, the nim­ble cup will guar­an­tee safe, secure and hygien­ic auto­mat­ed pro­ce­dures for, for instance, lasagne sheets or sim­i­lar items.
Devel­oped by Piab’s high­ly expe­ri­enced design team, the F‑BXT cup has no pock­ets in which dust and dirt can col­lect, and is easy to keep clean. It can be washed in situ, ren­der­ing dis­as­sem­bly unnec­es­sary. Made of sil­i­cone approved for food con­tact, the cup meets the most strin­gent hygiene stan­dards. It is sup­plied with food grade fit­tings in either stain­less steel or plas­tic, both mate­ri­als that com­ply with FDA and EU 1935 regulations.
The detectable, blue cup is suit­able for use with visu­al inspec­tion sys­tems favoured by the food indus­try. The cup and its fit­tings also com­ply with met­al detec­tors avail­able on the mar­ket. The com­bi­na­tion of 2 ½ fun­nel-shaped bel­lows and a sta­ble body with a large vac­u­um flow ori­fice enables a steady hold on prod­ucts, even at high speed and in quick­ly accel­er­at­ing systems.
