When Rettenmeier's Slovakian plant encountered complications when handling its glued wooden panels with several gantries, the company decided to replace the previous vacuum components. Previously, the panels were transported using steel suction frames with suction plates. This constellation could no longer meet the requirements of Rettenmeier's new products. Jaroslav Pudiš, plant manager at Rettenmeier, therefore contacted Eurotech. To solve the problem, the Geislingen-based company offered Pudiš its eT-Gripper suction boxes including aluminum suction frames instead of the suction plates for two gantries.

"After we had offered our suction boxes for two gantries, Rettenmeier promptly extended the request to three gantries," says Eurotech Area Sales Manager Michal Mikláš, who looks after Rettenmeier in Slovakia. "A short time later, the suction frames with our suction boxes were delivered." Rettenmeier carried out the conversion of the gantries to the new suction frames itself.

"We were very satisfied with the new suction frames," says Pudiš. "That's why we recommended this solution to our other locations." "Shortly afterwards, we received an order for further portals, which we were to equip with our eT grippers on complete suction frames," says Mikláš.

The maintenance-friendly eT-Grippers have a modular design, making all components easily accessible. The suction boxes, which are made from material-saving light metal profiles, can be opened and cleaned with little effort. This not only increases the service life, but also guarantees hygienic, clean lifting. The high quality of materials and workmanship as well as sophisticated technology stand for reliability and durability. The modular and clear device design with only a few components and low tendency to wear makes Eurotech vacuum suction boxes efficient tools in handling technology. as
