Battery Powered Vacuum Lifters
Battery Powered Vacuum Lifters: These vacuum generators contain the same features as the standard VPF-57-AC Series but include a heavy duty rechargeable 12 volt DC battery, making it suitable for handling nonporous loads. It is commonly used for special applications where AC power is not readily available.
Battery-powered vacuum lifters offer a stable material handling solution for applications that require mobility and flexibility. These devices enable operators to securely lift and move non-porous objects in places where electrical access may be restricted, in contrast to conventional vacuum lifting systems that depend on constant AC power. More operating independence is supported by their portable design, which also ensures dependable lifting performance.
Battery-powered vacuum lifters, which are made for harsh industrial settings, lessen the need for manual handling and increase productivity. These machines provide a useful way to increase production while promoting safer load handling practices by fusing cutting-edge vacuum technology with a rechargeable battery system.
Battery Powered Vacuum Lifters Features:
Vacuum gauge is mounted on front cover for continuous monitoring by operator. Also included is a filter view port to monitor filter for cleaning.
Amber light indicates “power on” for Vac-Pack Vacuum Generator. – Red light indicates “charger-on” for battery charger. – Multi-color, battery charge-level indicator LEDs.
Easy to grasp, large loop handlebar enables the operator to easily and safely maneuver the attached load without touching the load itself. Handlebar can be adjusted for smaller size loads.
Attach and release push-button located on control pendant with 8ft long coiled cord.
A check valve with vacuum reservoir helps to maintain vacuum if electrical power is interrupted, for safe handling of non-porous loads.
When Vac-Pack reaches preset vacuum level, the vacuum pump will automatically stop running. During the lift cycle, if the Vac-Pack reservoir loses some of its vacuum; the vacuum pump will automatically restart and run until original preset vacuum level is attained. This control will reduce battery draw to achieve full-shift operation.
Integrated 1.5 amp battery charger is an advanced battery charger designed specifically for today’s high performance deep cycle AGM batteries. It provides microprocessor controlled three step charging. A male receptacle is supplied to plug into a standard outlet. The charger is interlocked to prevent Vac-Pack from being used during charging. A “charger on” indicator light located on front cover of Vac-Pack will illuminate when battery is being charged.
- The VLS-08 (Series) are battery powered units consisting of solid state circuitry with microprocessor, pressure sensor, LCD digital display in inches of Hg, warning audible horn and red light. System is plumbed to the Vac-Pack and monitors vacuum level triggering the alarm in the event of a loss in vacuum level (10% loss for VLS-08 / 20% loss for VLS-08-20).
For larger load lifting capability or alternate power requirements, ASE also offers other electric; air powered, and self-powered mechanical vacuum generators. All units are provided with modular standard mounting designs for easy interchangeability.
