Gentle powder and granulate handling

Powder and ingredients in the food industry is a large area. When we have to transport and dose powder, it can be important that the mixing ratio in the powder is the same before and after the vacuum transport from PIAB has led the powder through a pipeline or hose. And it is also important that we do it in a reliable and gentle way, so that the powder or the ingredients are not damaged. 

In the production of instant food such as dry soups, noodles, sauces, etc., the materials are often dusty and can be greasy, so it is essential to use equipment that is easy to clean and allows for quick changeover between products. For certain material mixtures, dense Dense phase will help to minimize segregation. Our vacuum conveyors are designed as a closed system that will help increase productivity as well as ensure the health and safety of employees.

Functionality with PIAB

The ultimate process optimization for the food industry when there are additional requirements to transport many different types of powder or ingredients. Together with PIAB, we have developed a unique vacuum transport system which is self-optimizing. 

piFLOW®p SMART is a vacuum conveyor targeted primarily at industries that handle many different materials and/or those where frequent changes must be made to the materials to be transported. 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! requires minimal maintenance.

Ease of use with PIAB

Human focus with a PIAB: Easy maintenance, hygienic and safe for human interaction. For many of the nutraceutical products, the requirements in the food industry are as high as in the pharmaceutical industry, with similar challenges such as cross-contamination and dust formation. Piab's piFLOW premium vacuum conveyors are designed to solve these challenges. Since there is a need for frequent changes of powder materials, it is important to have transport equipment that is versatile, easy to clean and can accommodate a quick changeover. We also offer food-approved lifting equipment such as vacuum lifting yokes, vacuum suction cups and linear technology.
