Suction Cup Covers
MTC Suction Cup Covers
EUROTECH MTC suction cup covers fit over suitable vacuum suction cups and suction plates to provide a non-woven contact layer for glass and other surface-sensitive workpieces. They reduce direct contact between the cup material and the workpiece and may help reduce visible contact marks. Select a candidate cover by cup dimensions and profile, then review the complete configuration for the intended application.
MTC Cover Options at a Glance
- Contact layer: Non-woven cover fitted over a suitable suction cup or suction plate.
- Published round-cup size references: Options from 20 to 550 mm. Check the individual ranges in the size table; this is not a continuous fit range or a lifting-capacity rating.
- Retention: Integrated elastic band. Check fit and retention on the actual cup profile.
- Other dimensions or shapes: Send the cup dimensions and photographs for review.

Suction Cup Covers MTC
MTC covers form a non-woven contact layer between a suitable suction cup and the workpiece, helping reduce direct elastomer contact and visible contact marks.
SSUZ Covers for Suction Cup Storage
SSUZ covers protect suction cups when they are not in use. For a workpiece-contact cover used during handling, review the MTC options on this page.
Suction cup marks on glass can result from contamination, friction, material properties, contact pressure and other operating conditions. Read Why Do Vacuum Suction Cups Leave Marks on Glass?
View the MTC Suction Cup Cover Size Guide
MTC suction cup covers are available in a wide range of sizes for round and oval suction cups. Selecting the correct cover depends primarily on the dimensions and shape of the suction cup.
Use our size guide to identify a suitable MTC cover for your application. If your size is not listed, send us the suction cup diameter, dimensions, or a photo for assistance.
- The cover fits over a suitable suction cup or suction plate and is secured with an integrated elastic band. Confirm retention throughout the handling cycle.
- The round-cup selection references listed below range from 20 mm to 550 mm. These dimensions are fit references, not lifting-capacity ratings.
- Confirm material suitability for the workpiece, temperature and any cleaning agents used in your process.

Suction Cup Covers for Glass Handling
MTC suction cup covers provide an additional protective layer between the suction cup and the workpiece. They are particularly suitable for glass handling applications where surface protection and the reduction of suction marks are important.
Vacuum suction cups are widely used throughout glass production and processing, from loading and transport to cutting and further processing. MTC covers can be fitted over suitable suction cups to help protect sensitive glass surfaces during handling.
MTC Covers in Installed Applications
Explore suction cup cover installation photos and configuration notes for examples of installed arrangements and the details to review for your application.
Coated, Laminated & Insulating Glass
Coated, laminated, and insulating glass often require additional care during vacuum handling. Fingerprints, dirt, and suction cup contact marks can be particularly problematic in laminated glass and insulating glass production, as some surfaces become enclosed or inaccessible after assembly and can no longer be easily cleaned.
MTC covers can help reduce direct elastomer contact with suitable glass surfaces. Validate surface quality after the relevant handling and downstream processes, particularly where the contacted surface will become inaccessible after assembly.
Preventing Suction Cup Marks on Glass
A suitable suction cup cover may help reduce visible contact marks on glass. Confirm surface results and holding performance with the cover installed under the actual handling conditions.

Pannkoke 388 with an MTC Cover: Published Load-Test Video
Pannkoke Vacuum Lifter published this video in July 2019 to examine the load-carrying behaviour of a Pannkoke 388 suction cup fitted with an MTC suction plate cover.
The video concerns a specific cup-and-cover combination. It does not establish a load rating for other configurations or demonstrate mark-free performance. Fit, holding capacity and surface results should be checked for your application.

Review an MTC Cover for Your Existing Suction Cup
Already have a vacuum handling system? Send the details below so EUROTECH can review a candidate MTC cover for the installed cup.
- Cup: Manufacturer, model, dimensions and shape; include photographs of the contact face and side profile.
- Workpiece: Glass product or other material, coating if present, and the surface being contacted.
- Operation: Workpiece weight, handling orientation, movement and vacuum conditions, where known.
- Requirement: The contact pattern or surface issue observed, the current cover if any, and the candidate MTC model if already selected.
Unknown details are fine for an initial enquiry. A dimensional match identifies a candidate for review; it does not establish compatibility, a working load or approval for the application.
