The Hunt Starting with the production of industrial suction units in the 1970‘s, it was in the early 1990‘s – when Piab further developed its vacuum ejectors and pumps - we put both technologies together to evolve from cleaning and removing to transporting and reclaiming bulk material in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. This is how the first vacuum conveyor was created. Knowing that our products have a long life in the field, we want to find the oldest Piab vacuum conveyor still in operation. Check your factory grounds and be the lucky one winning a brand new piFLOW®p SMART conveyor if your unit shows the earliest proof of the benefits of Piab vacuum conveying. The prize Win our Changeover Champion The piFLOW®p SMART is our smartest product offering, taking vacuum conveying to a new level, fully automated with optimized throughput. Offering six times faster changeover, it enables users to save time when changing from one material to another, increasing the productivity of their operations.

Terms and Conditions History of vacuum conveying - how VC evolved A world first, piFLOWp SMART is a self-optimising vacuum conveyor targeted primarily at industries handling many different materials and/or those in which frequent changes need to be made. This makes the conveyor ideally suited for producers within the food and pharmaceutical sectors, where its full changeover potential will have great impact, saving time and money. A pair of compasses by which circles of large and small diameters can be drawn by means of interchangeable bars, and which gave the company it's name-"PI" (ratio of diameter to circumference) and "AB" (incorporated)...PIAB.
