Vacuum conveyors
Lets’s have a coffee together and discover vacuum conveying from PIAB and its great benefits
Vacuum conveying is a modern way of transporting powders and granules with a number of benefits.
When using a vacuum conveyor your customers are working with an enclosed system where they will not have any foreign material mixed in or have any product falling off the sides into the surrounding area. It is also a very gentle way of transporting the product, meaning that the product will be intact / not damaged throughout the whole transportation process. The velocity is adjusted depending on the product’s fragility – giving your customer minimum product scrap.
When you have a need to tailor make your conveyor and still have the high requirement on hygiene, piFLOW®p is the best option. It is built on standard modules and you can combine and change them in almost endless combinations. All parts still meet the high requirements of the pharma and food industries. So, you have the possibility to tailor your own conveyor without compromising on quality.
Small Footprint
The vacuum conveying solution has a small plant floor footprint since the tubing can go strictly vertical from the point of suction. The tubing is normally mounted in level with the discharge point and therefore not in conflict with other machinery. This means that your customer can utilize the space in a more cost efficient way.
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 environment. As vacuum conveying is an enclosed system you will be able to improve the working environment, and it will also give you the possibility to convey materials that are hazardous to inhale that needs to be contained.
Production flexibility
By replacing just a few parts of the modular vacuum conveying solution, one can easily change the installation in order to increase conveying distance, change the plant layout or enhance the system capacity at a very reasonable cost. This gives a future proof installation without compromising the reliability of the system!
