  • Publication number: 20080299245
    Abstract: A unit for picking up ceramic products or the like comprises: a tray (2) associated with a movement unit (3); a sealing gasket (4) located along the perimeter of an operating wall (5) of the tray (2) and designed to work in contact with a surface (S) of the product (M); means (6) for generating a vacuum inside at least one first chamber (7) made by the operating wall (5) with the inside of the tray (2) and being in communication with at least one second chamber (7e) through the operating wall (5) which is permeable; the second chamber (7e) is perimetrically delimited by the gasket (4); vacuum is applied to the opposite and facing surfaces of the wall (5) and of the surface (S) of the product (M), respectively, when the gasket (4) comes into stable contact with the surface (S) in order to pick the product up; a porous interface element (8) permeable to air is located at least on the sealing gasket (4) and forms a surface that is more deformable than the gasket (4) and impermeable to liquids, or hydro repellent
