ANVER’s VPE1-GEN3 series Vac-Packs are suitable for handling non-porous to semi-porous loads. Designed for use with a wide assortment of vacuum pad attachments and lifter assemblies, these high quality Vac-Packs are ruggedly designed for heavy production use. Units are available with heavy duty frames or for mounting remotely.

Safety features:

  • Load sensing lifting bail with safety lock-out
    Pendant controls are only active when the lifter and load are lowered completely, to remove the risk of accidental release by the operator. (Not on the VPE1-GEN3-RD series, which is a standalone version, or the VPE1-GEN3-TD, which is a tilter version.) Once on load, attach is almost instantaneous.
  • Vacuum control
    A solid-state vacuum control combines all the required vacuum generator controls in one rugged unit. It controls all vacuum pump functions and safety lights, and is fitted with a standard audible vacuum leakage warning system.

  • Audible vacuum leakage warning system
    Integrated electronically controlled vacuum leakage sensor monitors vacuum level and will sound an alarm if a slow vacuum leak is present when the vacuum level drops to a pre-determined set point.
  • Vacuum retention
    The system includes an internal check valve to stop leakage of vacuum in the event of a power failure (non-porous loads). A 627 cu. in. vacuum reservoir assists in maintaining a safe vacuum level during a power failure (non-porous loads).

Additional features:

  • Front control panel and gauges
    All gauges, lights and power switches are mounted on the front of the control panel. The two vacuum gauges on the face of the panel display the level of vacuum in the manifold and in the reservoir.
  • Indicator lights
    Green light indicates “safe” vacuum level.
    Red light indicates “unsafe” vacuum level.
    White light indicates “power on.”
  • Ergonomic control handlebar
    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.
  • 4 ft (1.2 m) power cord with twistlock plug and receptacle
    The twist-lock receptacles, both male and female, are supplied, which helps prevent accidental disconnection from the power source.

Maintenance:

  • Bottom hinged front & rear panel cover
    The front and back covers fold open for easy access to all components.
  • Air filter
    Over-sized air filter provided inside the front cover features a screw-on clear filter bowl for easy filter inspection and cleaning.

Your choice of four control styles to suit your application:

Standard controls

Electric self-cycling attach/release
Instant attach/release is provided via the hoist up and down movement. The attach and release alternate each lift cycle for fast, efficient handling. Similar to our line of mechanical generators. .

Features:

  • No pendant or radio controls required for attach/release.
  • Extremely safe: load cannot be released until it is set down on a surface.
  • Simple to operate.
Optional controls

Radio controlled 3 button attach / release / interlock transmitter with plug-in receiver
Hand held device with attach, release and safety interlock push buttons, with holster mounted on the front handlebar. Plug-in receiver is mounted on the side of the vacuum generator.

Includes:

  • Radio control transmitter and mounting holster
  • Radio control receiver and mounting bracket

Plug-in attach / release / interlock control pendant
Attach/release momentary switch and safety interlock push-button located on control pendant with 10 ft long coiled cord.

Includes:

  • Pendant control and mounting holster
  • Plug-in, replaceable coil cord, 10 ft. long.

Plug-in harness, customer radio receiver interface
Control harness allows you to wire your own radio receiver for integration of attach / release / interlock.

Includes:

  • Cord, 3 ft. long.

Vacuum pump:

  • High performance oil-less dry piston vacuum pump motor
  • Vacuum pump is thermally overload protected and requires 115V/1PH/60Hz* 15 amps service unless otherwise specified.
  • Operating temperature: 35°F to 135°F (1.7°C to 57.2°C)

Options:

  • Optional moisture traps (32000216)
    For damp applications: prevents saturation of the filter and possible damage to the pump. Not for handling wet loads. Mounts on vacuum manifold.
  • *Optional generator configurations available:
    In addition to our standard line of Vac-Packs noted above, other configurations and set-ups are available to suit application requirements.
