Piab

Innovators In Vacuum Technology

Evolving automation since 1951. Piab is evolving automation through progressive gripping, lifting and moving solutions. We believe in an automated world where no resources are wasted, and no humans are injured.

Piab’s Kenos vacuum gripper handling a matrix of different boxes as well as a candle without dropping on a Fanuc robot.

Machine learning in the new, unique piFLOW®p SMART takes vacuum conveying to a new level. Offering six times faster changeover, Piab’s Changeover Champion vacuum conveyor piFLOW®p SMART enables users to save time when changing from one material to another, increasing the productivity of their operations. Changeover that would take one hour in a conventional vacuum conveyor takes only 10 minutes.
piFLOW®p SMART is a self-optimising vacuum conveyor targeted primarily at industries handling many different materials and/or those in which frequent changes need to be made. This makes the conveyor ideally suited for producers within the food and pharma sectors, where its full changeover potential will have great impact, saving time and money.

The perfect performance and productivity promoter, piFLOW®p SMART is the world’s first self-optimising vacuum conveyor. Integrated with smart software and sensor technology, it is the ultimate choice for processors handling many different materials or those that need to make frequent changes. Requiring only a minimal amount of maintenance, piFLOW®p SMART is easy to install, learn to use and operate.

Proving its name, piFLOW®p SMART uses machine learning to automatically tune the process, resulting in a flawless flow of materials. Smart enough to configure itself and quickly adjust settings, taking into account environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, it beats even the most experienced operator every time!

piFLOW® conveyors are to convey material with the help of vacuum. piFLOW® has a good reputaion because of its modularity, its rugged construction, its compact footprint, its ease of installation, and its low overall maintenance costs.

The modularity makes for quick and easy changes for upgrades or modifications. The construction provides for reliable performance throughout the life of the Piab vacuum conveyor. Systems using a Piab ejector pump have minimal moving parts and require very little upkeep.
