It’s Mango Day!

It’s Mango Day! Simmatic has found ever growing success providing vacuum solutions within the food industry, mainly due to the difficult unpredictable nature of irregular shapes and sizes of food items and their packaging; FDA approved cups are the vacuum solution you’re looking for – they will solve all your direct food handling applications.

Here’s what makes VMECA’s DD dual‑lip vacuum cups, supplied by Simmatic, stand out…

🔍 Key Features

  • Boasts both a 30 mm inner lip and a 40 mm outer lip
  • Two opportunities to form a perfect vacuum seal on the product
  • Ensures improved grip and backup in case the primary seal fails
  • Increased sealing area leads to fewer vacuum losses and energy efficiency, particularly when paired with air-saving kits

Curved & Irregular Surfaces

  • Ideal for handling curved or uneven products like fruits (mangoes, apples, oranges, eggs)
  • Perfect vacuum solution for fine gauge foils, films and plastics.
  • The bellows’ flexibility compensates for surface irregularities.

🏭 Typical Use Cases

  • Food-grade handling: FDA‑compliant white silicone variants are suitable for direct contact with foodstuffs
  • Plastic bag opening, packaging lines, and delicate items.
  • Optimal for automated systems where reliability, hygiene, and quick maintenance are critical
