Piab has expanded its piFLOW® vacuum conveyor range with new control options designed to improve automation and material‑handling efficiency.
The update, released in May, introduces advanced sequencing and feedback capabilities that allow the conveyors to integrate more effectively with upstream and downstream equipment.
The new control architecture supports adaptive vacuum regulation, enabling the system to adjust automatically to variations in powder density, granule size or moisture content. This ensures consistent conveying performance even when handling challenging materials.
Piab highlights that the enhanced controls reduce energy consumption by optimising vacuum levels and cycle times. The system also offers improved diagnostics, helping operators identify blockages, filter issues or flow disruptions before they impact production.
The upgrade reinforces Piab’s commitment to providing gentle, efficient and reliable conveying solutions for industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to plastics compounding.
