Cup Lifters (Dual and Quad Cup) Print E-mail
Do you cringe when you think about trying to "free" a finished panel from its mold? Many manufacturers have had the unsettling experience of prying or lifting a heavy, bulky panel far enough to squeeze their fingers underneath in order to raise the heavy piece from the mold.

Application: The cup lifter is designed to assist in the demolding of cast products. Utilizing pneumatic suction cups the cup lifter used with a gantry or bridge crane, assists in reducing the effort required to demold cast products, such as panels and tubs.

The process of demolding large, heavy panels from their molds can be effortlessly accomplished with these Panel Lifters. The Panel Lifter works in a manner similar to the Gruber Tub Demolder. The unit’s four large suction cups are lowered to the panel and attached by switching on the unit’s two vacuum pumps. Following slight lifting to attach safety straps, the unit is activated to lift the panel up and away from the mold and over to a waiting conveyor for finishing.

Features:

• Heavy duty steel construction
• Includes two 2" safety straps
• Durable powder coating for protection
• Integrated Pressure Gauge
• Adjustable to fit almost any product

Dual (2-Cup) Tub Lifter

dualcuplifter-600

The Dual-Cup Lifter is dsigned to assist in the demolding of cast products, including cast bathtubs and other cast product up to that size or weight. Utilizing pneumatic suction cups, the cup lifter is used with a tub demolder gantry or bridge crane, assist in reducing the effort required to demold cast products.

This cup lifter features heavy-duty steel construction, two pneumatic suction cups, safety straps, and durable Gruber blue powder coating for lasting protection. Cup lifters are also adjustable to fit almost any product.

For demolding larger or heavier items, we recommend use of the quad (4) cup panel lifter, shown below.

 

 

 

Four Cup Lifters

The Quad Cup Lifter works in a manner similar to the Tub Demolder (above). The unit's 4 large suction cups are lowered to the panel and attached by switching on the unit's two vacuum pumps. A push on the hoist control button lifts the panel just enough to secure safety straps which hold the panel in the event of accidental shut-off of the system while lifting is in progress. With the straps in place, the button is again pushed to lift the panel up and away from the mold and over to a waiting conveyor for finishing.

The 10' unit is equipped, as mentioned, with four suction cups operated by two vacuum pumps. Each pump operates independently and activates two of the suction cupls, providing an important safety back-up. Should one pump fail, the second pump (and two other suction cups) would remain active to keep the panel in place.

Like the Tub Demolder, the 4-Cup Panel Lifter is a tremendous benefit to the industry in an age of liability concerns over employee health problems, worker safety and Worker's Compensation claims. Let the 4-Cup Panel Lifter do the heavy work on your panel molds... its been engineered to take it!
