The suction sealing lips or sealing foams are made from a robust material and, like all sealings, are
subject to wear. To prolong the life of the sealing elements, make sure the sealings are attached
properly and not subjected to lateral loads. Check the resistance of foams and sealing lips to
prevailing environmental conditions, such as ozone, acid, oil, grease, solvents etc.
Sealing lips can become aged and brittle due to a variety of environmental conditions. To ensure that
the vacuum tube lifter
J
UMBO
remains in an optimum condition at all times, it is important to check and,
if necessary, replace the suction sealing lips at regular intervals (see service table 9.3).
