ABSTRACT

A system and method for engaging a product for product handling. The suction
head for a product handling system for transferring products from a supply
location to a discharge location comprises a body and at least one of a first
suction unit and/or a second suction unit. The body is arranged for being
mounted to a transfer unit. The first suction unit includes a first suction
cup and one first pipe. The second suction unit includes a second suction cup
and at least two second pipes. The first suction cup and/or second suction cup
is arranged for engaging the product. The suction head is configured to have
the first suction cup and/or second suction cup in fluid communication with
suction means via the respective one first pipe and/or at least two second
