Why the need of pneumatic bottle grippers? 

Vigo Importing has 2 departments which need pneumatic bottle grippers: olive oil and vinegar. 
 The olive oil line runs 3 different size bottles for the Italian de-palletizer and the Vinegar runs 2 different size bootle. Therefore, they use 5 to 6 grippers on each run to move the bottles into the unloading station. 

What did they use before? 

They had to change their grippers which were too “old, dry rotted and had multiples holes.” Therefore, the bottles were not properly gripped and broke on the floor.They were loosing money and time because of the clean up. That is why they needed an improvement.
