The innovative elastomer gripping technology offers considerable advantages compared to traditional, inflexible technologies. Elastomer gripping technology So-called „flexible fingers“ made of a soft, flexible material, are the basis of elastomer grippers. The flexability of those fingers results from an inflexible or less flexible side of the material, which makes sure the fingers bend around this side when the pressure increased on the inside. A decrease in pressure makes the fingers return to their original position. 2 Elastomer grab techology: Your advantages at a glance • Minimising of hygienic risk factors • Flexible and delicate gripping • Safe and non-destructive handling of sensitive foods • High adaptibility to a large product range • High degree of format flexibility • High productivity rate
