  • Plastic barrels
  • Drums and kegs with smooth surfaces

The vacuum head is selected based on container size, weight and surface characteristics.

Vacuum lifters for barrels and kegs can lift loads of up to 100kg, depending on the vacuum system specification and container type. Packline designs each system with appropriate safety margins for reliable operation.
