Typical applications
piFLOW industri is typically used in productions where powder or granules need to be transported from one point to another, without open lifting, dust in the area, or unnecessary stoppages in the process.
For feeding from sacks, barrels, containers or mobile tanks, where manual handling is to be reduced.
When materials need to be conveyed stably to mixers, tanks, screens, or other process stages.
When dosage and flow are to support a more stable and efficient packaging or filling process.
When the solution is to be adapted to your current production, without the entire process needing to be rebuilt.
This is why manufacturing companies choose piFLOW industrial
piFLOW industri is developed for industrial material handling, where the solution must be able to integrate into existing production, handle various materials, and deliver stable operation over time.
Can be used from e.g. bags, containers, silos or process equipment and transport the material to the next stage of production.
Closed and dust-reduced transport
The material is moved in a closed system, which reduces waste, dust in the production environment, and the risk of contamination.
The solution is dimensioned according to material, distance, capacity, process flow and the requirements in your production.
piFLOW industrial can be integrated into both new and existing production lines and adapted to the physical conditions of the plant.
WE WILL CLARIFY THAT TOGETHER
The choice of piFLOW industrial is not just about the conveyor itself, but about the material, distance, capacity, hygiene requirements, and how the solution needs to fit into your existing production.

Advantages in production
piFLOW T industri helps to make material transport more controlled, uniform and less reliant on heavy lifting or manual procedures.
The closed system reduces open material transfers and helps keep production cleaner and more controlled.
When material is transported uniformly between process steps, it becomes easier to create a stable flow in production.
Fewer manual lifts and less handling of sacks, containers, and materials can reduce the strain on employees.
The solution can be adapted to existing systems and placed to suit your current process.
piFLOW industrial is a strong choice when robustness, flexibility and stable operation are most important.
For particularly high demands on hygiene, cleaning, documentation, or pharma standards, piFLOW premium may be a better choice.
PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE
Provak advises on vacuum conveying and powder handling for the food, industrial, and pharmaceutical sectors, where operational reliability, hygiene, and safe material handling are crucial.
Cases & Results
