Minimize maintenance Piab’s vacuum conveyors have very few moving parts, meaning that the service and maintenance cost is kept at a very low level without needing to compromise on the reliability of the system. You can disassemble the conveyor body without using tools. The pump unit is designed with a separate vacuum module that can easily be removed for cleaning, resulting in reduced downtime. Dust free working environment When comparing with mechanical conveying systems such as screw and belt conveyors – another important advantage of the vacuum conveying is a dust-free working...

The principle of vacuum conveying Vacuum is created with compressed air through COAX® technology or mechanical pumps (not shown in picture) (1). The bottom valve (2) closes and the vacuum increases in the container (3) and the conveying line (4). The product is carried away from the feed station (5) into the conveying line and then to the container. The filter (6) protects the pump and the surrounding area from dust and small particles. During the conveying time, the air shock tank (7) is filled with compressed air. At a preset or automatic time, the pump and the conveying are stopped and...

Conveyor for every need The modular design makes it possible to convey efficently with a small footprint. Production capacity from few kg/h [lbs/hr] to 15 tons/h [30,000 lbs/hr] and up to +60 meters [+200 feet] in conveying distance together with high vertical lifts, up to 20meter [65.5 feet]. Pumpunit - modular and flexiable design. Easy to adapt to have an efficent conveying system. Density - Can convey from 0.1 gram to 9 kg [20 lbs] per liter Modular - Can have a batch volume of 2 to 56 liters Fluidisation - helps emptying the conveyor when havinga a bridging material.

Piab’s vacuum conveying technology can be used to solve many different challenges related to additive manufacturing(AM). It is a perfect technology for filling a printer with metal powders, reclaiming/cleaning excess material from the printers post-production, and filling or emptying metal powders from/to adjacent equipment such as a sieve or a powder container. Furthermore, Piab has vacuum conveyor conveying solutions for non-inert and inert atmospheres, and tests prove we can convey powder with a bulk density of 8kg/liter [500 lbs/ft3] giving a throughput of 200kg/hour [450 lbs/hr]. Also,...

COAX® cartridges are based on advanced technology for creating vacuum with compressed air. The COAX® cartridges are smaller, more efficient and more reliable than conventional ejectors, which allows for the design of a flexible, modular and efficient vacuum system. A vacuum system based on COAX® technology can provide your customer with three times more vacuum flow than conventional systems, while reducing energy consumption. When compressed air (1) passes through the nozzles (2), air is pulled through with the stream of compressed air. Suction will be generated at the opening of each stage...

System solutions piFLOW®p SMART Our smartest product offering, taking vacuum conveying to a new level, fully automated with optimised throughput. piFLOW®f For applications with less demands on acid resistance, but still fulfilling all the needs a piflow®f could be a good choice. Feeding Accessories In pipelines with a vertical lift of between 8 and 25 metres [25-80 feet], the Pipeline Emptying Unit makes sure conveying lines are properly emptied, preventing blockages. Clearing vertical pipeline sections at the end of each suction cycle, this procedure is adjusted by the electrical control...

Control units There are a range of control units from pneumatic to advanced software controlled control units. piFLOW®p For pharma and other applications with high demands on product contact areas, together with acid resistant stainless steel quality, and ATEX or none atex demands, we recommend a product from our piFLOWp range. Specifically designed for quick and easy dismantling for easy cleaning of equipment. piFLOW®t For applications with the need of conveying fragile products, we recommend our piFLOW®t model. PiFLOW®t is designed to fulfil the needs through controlled low speed...

Piab’s product series is called piFLOW® and it is offered in five models for the food industry, the piFLOWf for the basic food industry, piFLOW®p for premium applications and piFLOW®t for conveying tablets, capsules or other fragile material that needs gentle conveying. Here is an introduction to the products suitable for this industry and their main features. Our COAX® Technology, the most energy efficient way to produce vacuum, is used in the pump. piFLOW®fc for food/chemical applications without acid resist demands. All vacuum conveyors have a 5 year warranty. piFLOW®p SMART • Complete...
