Furnace Block Vacuum Lifter
Graphite and carbon blocks used in furnaces can be handled using vacuum lifting. The need for tapped holes used for lifting eyes is avoided, along with the need to plug holes. Systems vary depending on the type and porosity of block and can be either electrically or pneumatically powered.

- Vacuum Welding Clamps
Steel plate fabrication requires butt jointed plates to be pulled up so that edges are flush. The KV Vacuum welding clamp allows both plates to be held firmly by vacuum pads, while a centrally mounted jacking screw is used to bring both plate edges in line. The plates can then be welded together.The vacuum welding clamp can be supplied with either manual screw or hydraulic jack. The standard unit is of rugged construction and produced in steel. A light weight aluminium alloy version is also available.
