Schmalz unveils next-gen vacuum lifter VacuMaster at Blech India 2025
Articles- May 28,25
At Blech India 2025, Schmalz India unveiled the new VacuMaster — a next-gen vacuum lifter designed for safety, energy efficiency, and ergonomics.
A game-changer in material handling: Schmalz, a leader in vacuum automation and material handling systems, unveiled its next-generation vacuum lifter VacuMaster at Blech India 2025 (a trade fair for sheet metalworking and metal forming industries). The prestigious unveiling of this groundbreaking vacuum lifter was performed by Rakesh Agarwal, Founder of Laser Technologies Pvt Ltd, a prominent figure in the laser cutting industry.
The new VacuMaster is designed with safety, ergonomics, and energy saving, addressing the needs of industries such as sheet metal, woodworking, and plastic sheets. With its innovative features, the VacuMaster promises to significantly reduce energy consumption, making it a smart choice for companies striving for both cost savings and sustainability.
With the new VacuMaster, we are helping our customers reduce operational costs while enhancing productivity and workplace safety, said Mr. Philip Mani, Managing Director, Schmalz India. “This is more than just a vacuum lifter — it’s a smart investment in sustainable and efficient operations, finally leading to more productivity and ergonomics for the employee.”
With a lifting capacity of up to 750 kg, the VacuMaster enables a single operator to safely and efficiently handle heavy, flat, non-porous materials — eliminating the need for slings, chains, or multiple peronnel.
Powered by a high-performance electric vacuum pump, ensuring smooth handling of suction-tight workpieces. Equipped with digital and analogue vacuum gauges, it provides precise, real-time monitoring of vacuum levels in the system. The automatic on/off control of the vacuum pump maintains optimal vacuum pressure, boosting both performance and energy efficiency. For added safety, a manual slide valve is provided with double actuation.
Constructed with mild steel main and cross beams, the VacuMaster offers a lightweight yet durable structure, providing stability without sacrificing ease of movement. The integrated vacuum reservoir accelerates cycle times and ensures load security in the event of a power failure. Its versatile suction plates provide optimal adaptation for various surfaces. The system includes the Flexo Link, allowing each suction cup to individually adapt to contoured surfaces, ensuring a secure grip on uneven workpieces. In addition, the pad disconnector enable selective activation of suction cups, making it ideal for different size of workpieces. The quick-connect electrical system allows for fast integration and simplifies maintenance.
Key benefits include:
- Powerful Lifting: Handles up to 750 kg of steel metal, laminated wood, and plastic sheet with ease.
- Energy Saving: Reduces energy consumption while maintaining high performance.
- Ergonomic Operation: Increases productivity by reducing human fatigue.
- Advanced Safety: Includes a vacuum reservoir, dual gauges, warning system.
- Adaptable Design: Suction plates adjust to diverse shapes, sizes, and surfaces.
- Seamless Integration: Compatible with standard lifting systems.
To provide a complete material handling solution, Schmalz India offers integrated packages that include the VacuMaster, jib cranes, and chain hoists — all optimized for safety, efficiency, and high performance in demanding industrial environments. Additionally, dedicated packages with jib cranes and chain hoists are available for CNC machine loading, enabling smooth, safe, and ergonomic part handling directly at the machine.
Schmalz India, a 100 per cent subsidiary of J. Schmalz GmbH Germany, was established in April 1999 as a joint venture to market the complete range of vacuum-based material handling solutions in India. Today, Schmalz India offers an extensive portfolio of vacuum solutions that includes vacuum components for pick-and-place operations, robotic end effectors for packaging, palletising and assembly, ergonomic vacuum lifting and handling systems, vacuum clamping systems, and vacuum gripping systems. The company's core expertise lies in material handling with vacuum.
