Vacuum Lifting Equipment

In logistics warehouses and food-processing plants, handling hundreds of sacks or cartons continuously has always been a tough challenge. When relying on manual labour, productivity drops over the course of a shift, and the risk of spinal injuries is ever-present. When using conventional electric hoists, on the other hand, operation speeds are often too slow to keep up with modern production lines.

To solve this problem, VIETMANI brings you an exceptionally effective solution: the Vacuum Lifting Device – Tube Lifter (Vacuum Tube Lifting System). This is one of today’s most advanced lifting technologies, operating on the principle of pressure differential to generate powerful suction—making heavy loads feel almost weightless.

Operating Principle & System Structure

With just a single power source, the Vietmani vacuum lifting device can perform two tasks at the same time: gripping and lifting the load.

Operating Principle

The Tube Lifter system works by changing the air pressure inside the lifting tube:

• Suction & Lifting:
  When the suction pad contacts the surface of the load, the system becomes airtight. The vacuum pump extracts air, creating negative pressure inside the lifting tube. At this point, the tube automatically contracts (much like a pneumatic spring), gently lifting the load upward.

• Lowering & Releasing:
  When the operator controls the release valve on the handle to allow air back into the tube, the negative pressure decreases. The tube then extends to lower the load. Once the tube is filled with air, the suction force is eliminated, and the load is released.

Detailed Components

A complete Vietmani vacuum lifting system includes the following core components:

• Vacuum Generator (Vacuum Pump/Blower):
  Powered by a high-capacity 3-phase motor (380V), designed for durable, continuous operation and capable of delivering the airflow required for nonstop lifting tasks.

• Vacuum Lift Tube:
  Made from a special polymer with exceptional elasticity and high abrasion resistance. This component acts as the “muscle” of the system, contracting and extending to adjust lifting height.

• Control Handle:
  The operator’s command centre. Its smart ergonomic design integrates an air-regulating valve, allowing precise control of lifting and lowering speed with just a gentle finger movement.

• Suction Foot:
  Customised to match different types of goods. Vietmani offers a wide range of suction heads, including:

  • Single suction heads for sacks and cartons

  • Dual or multi-point suction heads for large glass or wooden panels

• Air Filtration System & Safety Valve:
  The filter prevents dust from entering the pump, extending equipment lifespan. The safety valve ensures that in the event of a sudden power outage, the load is lowered slowly to the floor instead of falling freely—providing maximum safety for both people and goods.

Key Benefits of Vietmani Vacuum Lifting Devices

A vacuum lifting system is not just a supporting tool—it represents a revolution in speed and convenience for industrial material handling. Here are the outstanding advantages it delivers:

Fast Handling Speed – Up to 200% Productivity Increase

With a Tube Lifter, the “Grip – Lift – Place” cycle takes only moments. Unlike conventional electric hoists that require waiting for hooks to descend and buttons to be pressed, the Tube Lifter responds instantly to hand control.

Reduced Physical Strain & Spine Protection

Vietmani’s core goal is to reduce workers’ physical effort to nearly zero. Vacuum technology completely removes the load’s weight from muscles and the spine. Workers can operate continuously throughout an entire shift without fatigue, minimising occupational illnesses and sick leave while helping businesses maintain a stable workforce.

Simple and Intuitive Operation

The control handle is designed based on ergonomic principles. With just one hand, the operator can guide the load and precisely control lifting speed. Anyone—male or female—can master the device after just one brief instruction session, without needing complex technical skills.

Complete Protection of Product Surfaces

Because no metal clamps or hooks are used, the Tube Lifter causes no dents, scratches, or tears on product surfaces. This is a major advantage when handling delicate items such as cartons, food packaging, glass panels, or high-end wooden furniture boards.

High Flexibility for Multiple Materials

Vietmani’s system allows quick and easy changes of suction feet. You can use a single suction head for sacks, switch to a dual head for large cartons, or a multi-point head for long panels. One device can serve many different handling needs within the same factory.

Intelligent Safety System

Safety is a mandatory standard at Vietmani. The equipment is fitted with check valves and specialised air filters. In the event of a sudden power failure, the safety valve prevents air from rushing into the lift tube, allowing the load to descend slowly rather than dropping freely—ensuring maximum safety for operators and surrounding equipment.

Common Industrial Applications

Thanks to its flexible suction-head customisation, Vietmani vacuum lifting devices are an ideal solution for material handling across many key industries:

• Logistics, Warehousing & Packaging:
  Lifting and stacking cartons and boxes onto pallets.

• Food Processing & Agriculture:
  Handling raw material sacks (rice, flour, sugar, plastic pellets, animal feed) weighing from 25 kg to 50 kg.

• Wood, Glass & Construction Materials Manufacturing:
  Moving large industrial wood panels (MDF, HDF), glass sheets, or metal panels.

• Chemical, Oil & Drum Handling:
  Lifting plastic containers, paint buckets, and chemical drums.

• Electronics & Component Manufacturing:
  Handling flat-surface components, TV screens, or boxed equipment units.

In today’s modern industrial environment, optimising material-handling processes is not only about productivity—it is also a commitment to worker health and safety. The Vietmani Tube Lifter vacuum lifting system is the missing piece that transforms heavy, hazardous tasks into operations that are lighter, faster, and far more professional.

With in-house technology mastery, readily available components, and a technical team deeply experienced with Vietnamese factory environments, Vietmani confidently delivers vacuum lifting solutions that meet international standards—at the most reasonable investment level.
