Piab, Hingham, Mass., combined a series of piGRIP bag lips (BGI) to create a vacuum-based automated system that handles bags of all shapes and materials.
These lips include an internal retainer piece as well as three additional diameter sizes, making them ideal for handling different types of bag materials, especially hard-to-handle thin bag material, such as plastic film. The six diameter sizes now at 25, 34, 41, 48, 63 and 80 mm enable customers to choose the exact cup for the handling application.
