piFLOW premium is used for the vacuum conveying of powders, granules and other dry materials in productions with high demands for hygiene, cleaning, documentation and controlled material handling.

A PIAB Premium vacuum conveyor makes sense in production when you need high operational reliability, flexibility, and gentle material handling – typically in more demanding or critical applications. And when there are many product changes (flexible production).

The premium range is designed in:

  • Stainless steel 316L
  • very smooth and polished surfaces Ra 0.4 and food-grade components
  • Modular and with many accessories. 

Honey, sugar, salt, Cocoa, coffee, spices, Protein powder, starch, Chemical powders (e.g. pigments, fillers), APIs (active ingredients, Tablet granules, Lactose and excipients. Abrasive materials (require wear-resistant components) Sticky powders (require special filters/solutions)
Very light materials (e.g. flakes) Mixed products (mix of powder + granules)

Yes – the piFLOW® Premium is specifically designed to be integrated into existing production lines. This is one of the system's biggest advantages.
This is how and when it makes sense:
piFLOW Premium can typically be integrated without major renovations. Can be connected to existing process equipment such as: Mixers, Silos / containers, Filling machines, Big bag / IBC container filling/emptying.

A BASIS piFLOW-industrial should be chosen when there is no need for frequent cleaning, and when operation is less than 2 hours per day.
