Developed with simplicity and flexibility in mind.

  • Jumbo Ergo Vacuum Lifting Device

The control handle has no mechanical linkages or cables connecting it to the main body of the lifter. The handle simply adjusts the amount of atmospheric air that is allowed to bleed into the main body of the tube lifter. It is this bleeding effect that controls the raising and lowering of the load that is being held by the suction pads.

When a load is hovering mid-air, the whole system is in a state of equilibrium – letting in just the right amount of air to maintain the correct vacuum level to lift and hold the load.

Features Include:

  • The load is gripped and lifted by a single medium, namely vacuum.
  • A modular system of variable basic components which can be combined in many different ways permits simple adaptation of the unit to meet individual requirements.
  • A quick-acting non-return valve and the large area of the suction pad(s) ensure that the load is not dropped – even if the electric power or the compressed-air supply fails.
  • Compliance with the latest ergonomic considerations ensures that the use of the Jumbo does not endanger the health of the user.

Load Classes

The various load classes permit selection of the best Jumbo for handling the desired workpiece.

  • JumboErgo Load Class

Control Handle Options

Standard Control Unit

Control Unit with extension

Control Unit with extension and pivot

Unique to the JumboErgo, the innovative design of the Control Handle makes it simple to modify to allow the fitting of an extension tube and/or a pivot unit.

By simply unbolting the handle from the main body of the Control Unit, an extension piece is easily inserted.

Features Include:

  • Simple yet innovative design results in minimal moving parts
  • Adjustable no-load hover level via easily accessed set-screw
  • Easily removable and subsequent cleaning of air inlet filter
  • Same control handle used for entire JumboErgo range

Vacuum Generators

Ejectors SEM 100/300 Blowers SBM & SBL Blower SBV

Pneumatically powered multi-stage venturi vacuum generators available for use in explosion-hazard areas

Vacuum Blowers are used for handling of porous workpieces

Vacuum Blower SBV is frequency regulated for optimal adjustment to the requirements of different applications

Features Include:

  • The directly-driven, precision-cast impeller provides a very high level of reliability
  • Integrated exhaust silencer to keep sound levels below 75 dB(A)
  • Includes a preset pressure limiting valve for additional safety
  • Due to no contact surfaces within the blower (unlike vane pumps), maintenance intervals are extended
  • Main pump bearings have a 20,000 hr lubrication service interval

Lifting Unit:

The Lifting Unit is the component that does all the lifting work. The “Trunk” is a wire and fibre reinforced length of tubing which is compressed and extended as the load is lifted and lowered. The trunk has been specially developed just for this application, and is capable of withstanding up to -0.65 Bar (65%) of vacuum.

The Lifting Trunk is available in (8) different diameters (one for each of the different lifting capacities). it is the diameter of the tube which dictates the weight the Vacuum Tube Lifter can lift.

Each trunk comes as a 1700mm lifting stroke as standard. Optional 2100mm lifting stroke available upon request.

Features Include:

  • Lifting Unit is common to both the JumboErgo & the JumboSprint range of lifters
  • Upper low-friction swivel unit capable of 360° continuous rotation
  • Integrated safety valve to prevent dropping of load in the event of power failure
  • Compact construction gives minimal height loss
  • Lifting Tube can be shortened for restrictive operating environments
  • Compressed air lead-through available for custom attachments

Vacuum Heads

Lifting different loads is not just a question of the weight involved, but also selecting the best vacuum head suitable for the load. For both theJumboErgo and JumboSprint range of Vacuum Tube Lifters, a comprehensive range of vacuum heads are available.

Since there are matching suction pads for each size of vacuum lifting unit, it is possible to assemble an optimum solution for most product handling needs, even if only a small surface area is available.

Standard Range

The following are standard vacuum heads which are available to the JumboErgo & JumboSprint range of Jumbo Vacuum Tube Lifters.

Single Head EG Long Head LG Round Head RG Sack Head SG

For rigid cartons, sheets, furniture elements etc.

For pallets, narrow cartons, beams, square-section tubes etc.

For barrels, cans, stone or concrete slabs with rough surfaces etc.

For paper and plastic sacks, raw rubber bales, film-wrapped products etc.

 

2-Pad Head DG 4-Pad Head VG Double Head FM Multi-Pad Head – Multi

For cardboard cartons, crates, pallets etc.

For larger cartons, sheets, MDF and laminated boards etc.

For pallets, layers of product, products with gaps or holes etc.

For soft cartons that mis-shape when lifted etc.

 

Don’t see a Vacuum Head that suits?

Years of experience have enabled Millsom Hoists to develop a huge variety of custom-built Vacuum Heads for difficult-to-lift products. If we haven’t already built a head for a product similar to yours, then all is required is a sample product, and our Engineers will develop one for you.

Accessories
