A suction cup specifically for fruit, the FCX50 features flexible bellows for off-axis grips and adaptation as well as a multi-lip design for the surface ensuring good sealing. The suction cup is ideal for handling items with challenging and permeable surfaces and various shapes.
Due to its sealing capabilities which lead to less leakage, it allows users to use a smaller vacuum pump, saving energy. For detectability, during production, a small portion of metal powder is added to the food-grade silicone material. Thanks to the low vacuum levels needed, the FCX50 grips fruits firmly and gently ensuring the delivery of pristine fruits to customers. Additionally, this suction cup is able to handle fruits of all different sizes. It can pick the narrow part of fruit just as well as the wide part. The flexible bellows allow the lips to adapt, realign and seal tightly even if the suction cup is lowered towards the fruit off-axis.
The FCX50 cup is FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, EU 1935/2004, and EU 2023/2006 regulations compliant.
