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 pipes for reducing pressure at the at least one first suction cup and/or second suction cup, wherein the respective one first pipe and/or at least two second pipes are longitudinally slidably engaged to the body.
