How does vacuum handling work? Vacuum handling using suction cups is simple. A pump sucks in the vacuum between the suction cup and the part to be lifted, and stores this vacuum in a chamber dedicated for this purpose. By creating a vacuum, the atmospheric pressure is eliminated in the suction cup enclosure. The product is then pressed against the suction cup by this same atmospheric pressure of 1 kg/cm² (which varies from 950 to 1030 hectopascals); consequently, on a suction cup of 1 m² there is a pressure of 10,000 kg, making it capable of raising this same load. This physical phenomenon makes handling by suction cups an extremely efficient and reliable technique, capable of performing a very large number of handling operations.

The manufacture of segments is a significant operation which requires the creation of a large manufacturing plant and very significant handling means, given the weight and size of these bulky loads. Indeed, the weight of a single segment can vary from 3 to 17 tonnes. On site, ACIMEX lifters have many uses in the plant and in storage areas: standalone vacuum lifters and storage grabs are frequently used by our customers as well as stripping lifters, turners, triple clamps or tables.

The vacuum lifters designed by ACIMEX guarantee enhanced safety on construction sites because only one worker is needed to operate the vacuum lifter. Consequently, the movements are performed remotely, which enables the technician not to be in contact with the part.

ACIMEX vacuum lifters are fitted with high temperature (350°) silicon suction cups, which allow steel plates of up to 30 tonnes maximum to be gripped. Between the furnace outlet and the next operation in the manufacturing process, they reduce waiting time and increase productivity. This leading-edge versatile equipment scans the length and width of the steel plates and so determines which suction cups will be appropriate to grip the plate in order to optimize the safety of their grip; and this takes place regardless of the type of material (steel, aluminium, stainless steel, copper, brass, bronze, lead, etc.).

ACIMEX is a french SME created in 1971, which offers handling equipment and vacuum devices for all domains: energy, metallurgy & aerospace, construction, tunnel, industrial automation. Its vacuum lifters have many advantages compared to traditional lifting engines, such as quick lifting capacity, no deformations or marks on the load and being able to do several operations in a single motion. ACIMEX started on the French territory in the lifting and handling of steel sheets, at the service of metallurgy and the steel industry. The company then spread its savoir-faire and its skills to the concrete and pipe industry. The company has been a subsidiary of tunnel company CBE Group France since 2010. ACIMEX headquarters, Design Office and production workshop are located in Saint-Avertin, in the Loire Valley region. In 2016, the company opened a successful production workshop in Shaanxi, China.
