PIAB - Vacuum Conveyors

The food industry has discovered the advantages of vacuum conveying for transport, mixing and blending of powder and granule ingredients. PIAB, which has developed vacuum conveying systems for 25 years, is the leader in the industry, providing solutions to your conveying problems which meet strict food-processing regulations.

PIAB's vacuum conveyors offer great improvements for the working environment, and all materials are FDA approved. A partial series of PIAB's vacuum conveyors has been accepted by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and is certified by 3-A sanitary standards, making it the ideal, approved conveying solution for food-handling applications.

VACUUM CONVEYING SYSTEM ADVANTAGES

The food industry demands a high degree of hygiene and safety in vacuum conveying of ingredients and finished products in different manufacturing processes. PIAB's vacuum conveying system is completely enclosed, hygienic and safe, and is therefore often used instead of manual lifting and handling.

A great number of materials, like sugars, starches and coffee beans, can be safely conveyed, even if sensitive to humidity and contamination.

C SERIES VACUUM CONVEYORS

Filtration is an integral component of the C Series vacuum conveyor, preventing fine particles from being drawn into the pump and escaping into the surroundings. Additionally, filters protect food products from foreign bodies. A higher degree of filtration is provided by the vacuum conveyors, due to larger filter area and new filter materials.

With PIAB vacuum conveyors you can accurately set energy consumption according to prevailing conditions, allowing for an environmentally-friendly conveying solution. PIAB's conveying solutions utilise pneumatic pumps, which are smaller, more compact and lighter than mechanical pumps, making them more energy efficient.

Designed to meet the demands of the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, PIAB's C Series vacuum conveyors feature optimised designs for the highest standards of hygiene, and are made of grade AISI 316L stainless steel. With few moving parts, vacuum conveying solutions from PIAB are easy to dismantle and clean, minimising maintenance.

Installation is simple: our vacuum conveyors have modular construction, few components, small dimensions and low weight.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT PNEUMATIC VACUUM PUMPS

In conveying applications such as loading and unloading mixers or blenders, mixing multiple ingredients, or transporting large quantities of fresh ingredients into packaging machinery, PIAB's objective is to provide vacuum conveying solutions that help customers raise productivity.

By creating an optimised solution using energy-efficient pneumatic vacuum pumps, you will find great improvement in product containment and integrity with much less damage and waste. Our flexible, modular conveying solutions decrease downtime and offer easy system-configuration.

CUSTOMISED VACUUM CONVEYING

We offer customised solutions based on results from precise simulations in our test lab, meeting your exact requirements. Providing an analysis of volume conveyed per hour or minute over a given distance, as well as vacuum cycle time and energy consumption, system efficiency becomes completely clear.

You will get the optimum dimensioning for installation, along with the proper accessories and control system.

With new, more efficient pumps, PIAB's vacuum technology allows both for powder conveying at express speed, and increased conveying capacity, with 10t/hr measured at short distance tests under favourable conditions for the C Series.

STATE-OF-THE-ART TESTING FACILITIES

PIAB's testing lab can test-run a variety of materials at high and state-of-the-art capacity and filtration, with low energy-consumption, to assess conveying characteristics over vertical and horizontal distances.
