In the past, an automation has been hardly possible in many production processes of the glass and metal industry because of the workpieces' extremely high temperatures. The solutions in these cases are usually application specific and often very expensive.

For these tasks, vacuum specialist Schmalz has developed a completely new and innovative solution for workpieces with temperatures up to 600°C on the surface.The high-temperature suction pads SPL-HT offer the following highlights:

• Stainless-steel body, seal made of special textile materials - Very high temperature resistance, even for long periods
• Withstands temperatures of up to 600°C - Even hot workpieces can now be gripped safely and carefully with vacuum
• Seal qucikly and easily replaceable - Seal can be replaced separately when worn or damaged

High-temperature suction plates SPL-HT are designed for the following applications:

• Handling of workpieces with smooth surfaces
• Suitable for use in the manufacture of float glass or in tempering processes in the glass industry
• Hot forming in the metal industry

The top-quality construction underlines the quality of the high-temperature suction plates:

• Robust stainless-steel body
• Seal clamped into the body and quickly replaceable
• Seal made of special textile material for handling hot workpieces
