DETECTABLE SUCTION CUPS
PERFORMANCE IN SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS
At NOVACOM, we have rethought vacuum gripping to meet the challenges of the most demanding environments. Discover our range of detectable material suction cups, designed for optimal detection, minimizing contamination risks in the food, pharmaceutical, and other sensitive industries.
THE ADVANTAGES OF DETECTABLE SUCTION CUPS
Maximum safety in sensitive environments
In the food and pharmaceutical sectors, where contamination is a major concern, NOVACOM’s detectable suction cups are ideal. They are specifically designed to be detected by control equipment, preventing unwanted fragments from compromising product quality. These suction cups stand out not only for their ease of detection but also for their resistance to cleaning agents and disinfectants, ensuring impeccable hygiene throughout the production process.
Rigorous selection for enhanced performance
We know that choosing the ideal suction cup depends on many criteria. That is why we support you in selecting the product suited to the weight, temperature, material, and surface of the objects you need to handle. NOVACOM offers you numerous references to meet each specific need.
A visual signature for food safety
Our detectable suction cups feature a distinctive blue tint for immediate visual identification. This color, rarely found in natural ingredients and processed foods, is chosen to contrast with the majority of food products. In the event of accidental deterioration, any suction cup fragment is easily detectable visually.
THE SUCTION CUP RANGES
Our range of detectable suction cups comes in various shapes: flat, bellows, oblong, rectangular, to perfectly fit every application. Regardless of the shape or surface of your parts, our suction cups ensure safe and efficient handling, even in challenging conditions.

RESPONSES TO SIMULANTS FOR DETECTABLE BLUE SILICONE SH40: ● (A, B and D2)
Migration tests verify that silicone suction cups do not release harmful substances into the handled products. They simulate real-use conditions by testing substances like oil or water. If the results meet the standards, the suction cups are compliant. If not, adjustments are necessary. These tests ensure product safety according to European standards.
