Thirty per cent productivity boost

Conveying bulk material from one point to another is of primary importance in the production process in the food-processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors – and careful conveyance is crucial when dealing with fragile materials, to prevent unnecessary product waste. With piab’s state-of-the-art technology, users get maximum suction power with minimal energy consumption. Other key advantages of the piFLOW® series include a dust-free working environment, easy cleaning, and a productivity boost of up to 30 per cent.

These vacuum conveyors are especially recommended for moving dry powder products through dedicated pipe systems. The piFLOW® series is constructed out of the highest-quality materials, and it has been designed as a solution for the severe requirements of operational safety and hygiene in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. These sectors have a high demand for the highest possible level of safety, in terms of hygiene and operation. All piab vacuum conveyors are ATEX Dust-certified, and the piFLOW®p and piFLOW®t models are also ATEX Gas-certified. Each piFLOW® conveyor is available with either a mechanical pump or an ejector-driven vacuum pump.
