Bulk & powder transfer

Powder/granules transfer

PIAB has over 30 years of experience of powder and granules transfer through vacuum conveying. We handle particle sizes from 0.5 micron. The conveying capacity reaches up to 10 tons/hour and the conveying distance up to about 100 feet. However, capacity and distance is very dependent on the properties of the conveyed material. In some ...

Tablet/fragile transfer

PIAB has over 30 years of experience of small products transfer through vacuum conveying. We handle parts from granules up to 2' (50 mm). Conveying fragile products requires long experience in order to secure the quality of the product. PIAB work with various technical concepts such as reducing speed in the pipeline, minimizing physical ...

Horizontal form-fill-seal

The very first part of the packaging process might require a filler tube or a hopper to be loaded with the product. Vacuum conveyors are used for this purpose. They convey the material to be packaged into a hopper or filler tube where it is then delivered into pouches and sealed. When the machine is of horizontal form-fill-seal design, ...

Big Bag unloading

The application is typically to transfer material from a Big Bag into a suction pipeline. We use a Feed Adaptor with a universal interface to connect to the Big Bag unloading system. The feed adaptor is designed to optimize the flow of the material in the pipeline with multiple valves for adjusting the airflow. This feature is essential ...

Small products transfer

PIAB has over 30 years of experience of small products transfer through vacuum conveying. We handle parts from granules up to 2" (50 mm). The capacity and distance is very dependent on the conditions of the conveyed products and therefore a test in one of our conveying laboratories around the world is recommended. Key advantages with ...

Applications in explosive atmosphere

Conveying powder and granules can in some cases generate an explosive dust/air mixture. To eliminate the risk of dust explosion, Piab meets the international ATEX standard. This is done by removing all sources of ignition from the system, i.e. electric and electrostatic. Piab has over 30 years of experience of powder and granules ...

Hygienic applications

Piab systems are designed to meet requirements specified by international standards such as 3-A Sanitary Standard and FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Piab vacuum conveyors are developed in accordance with USDA guidelines and meet the demands of dairy, food and other farm producers. Piab has over 30 years of experience of powder ...

Customized applications

PIAB has over 30 years of experience of powder and granules transfer through vacuum conveying. We handle particle sizes from 0.5 micron. The conveying capacity reaches up to 10 tons/hour and the conveying distance up to about 100 feet. For special projects where customized design is required, PIAB uses a global network of engineers. PIAB ...

Working environment

PIAB has over 30 years of experience of powder and granules transfer through vacuum conveying. We handle particle sizes from 0.5 micron. The conveying capacity reaches up to 10 tons/hour and the conveying distance up to about 100 feet. Vacuum conveying is an excellent alternative to manual operations such as carrying or lifting or ...

Drum/bag filling

PIAB has over 30 years of experience of powder and granules transfer through vacuum conveying. We handle particle sizes from 0.5 micron. The conveying capacity reaches up to 10 tons/hour and the conveying distance up to about 100 feet. However, capacity and distance is very dependent on the properties of the conveyed material. In some ...

Hazardous powder transfer

PIAB has over 30 years of experience of powder and granules transfer through vacuum conveying. We handle particle sizes from 0.5 micron. The conveying capacity reaches up to 10 tons/hour and the conveying distance up to about 100 feet. Handling hazardous powders require a completely closed system to avoid exposure. PIAB´s conveying ...

Painting/paint coating

Automotive manufacturing facilities designate an enclosed booth area for painting vehicles and vehicle parts. Vacuum conveyors are used to convey the powdered paint primer into large mixing tanks. From the tanks the powder is conveyed to the paint spray guns where it is then applied to the vehicle. Conveyors are also used to collect any ...

Injection molding/pellet transfer

The primary method of molding plastic vehicle components is injection molding. Vacuum is used first to convey plastic pellets into a hopper. The plastic pellets are then heated and forced under high pressure into a mold cavity. The parts are formed in the mold cavity and in some cases vacuum is drawn in the cavity to aid the process and ...

Diecasting

Diecasting is a process that is used to manufacture many automotive systems and components. Engine manifolds are one example. During the diecasting process vacuum can be used to convey particulate into the diecasting molds and also to evacuate the die. Once a part is formed from particulate (usually sand) the particulate is then ...
