Among the key benefits of piab vacuum conveyors for the pharmaceutical sector: profitability, with a gentle setting that lowers waste; efficiency, due to their speed and lack of segregation; easy maintenance; and safety for human handling. This equipment from Firing Industries works for powder and for tablets and capsules.

When used in pharmaceutical operations, these conveyors transport powder, or tablets and capsules, through process steps by either manual handling or an automated solution. Challenges to address include employee health and safety, contamination, product waste, compliance, and quality. piab can customize its solutions according to user needs, allowing safe and enclosed systems between process steps. These are intelligently designed devices that connect the flow efficiently from beginning to end.

In an essential process step in pharmaceutical production, piab vibrating sieves play a vital role.

Conveyance of material to screening must always be hygienic, high in quality, and compliant with the stringent standards and regulations of the industry. The piFLOW® brand of vacuum conveyors meets all these needs as it continues to facilitate optimized productivity and keep workers safe.
