Vacuum and low pressure
Bulk materials handling via a pneumatic conveyor
The pneumatic conveyor is used particularly for bulk materials such as powder, granulate, tablets and dusts. Due to the ease and flexibility of laying the conveyance lines, using a pneumatic conveyor in production systems in small spaces is the optimum choice. Furthermore, the pipeline can be adapted to enlarged machines and structural steel structures. The infeed station itself requires very little set-up space and can be included in many processes. Compared to mechanical conveyance systems, it is easy to master longer conveyance distances and conveyance heights. The lines can be laid vertically and horizontally. The maintenance effort is also comparatively low. All this makes operating a pneumatic conveyor economical.
IB Verfahrenstechnik has been a member of the Piab Group since 2023. We can therefore offer you vacuum conveyors from experts.

Our pneumatic conveyor products
We have several decades of experience in individual conveying technology and have always valued personal contact with our customers right from the very outset – with the aim of designing tailor-made technology from a modular system.
Conveying bulk materials with the vacuum conveyors from Piab
How does the pneumatic conveyor work?
Pneumatic conveyors either work with positive pressure, when bulk materials are blown by the equipment from one point to another. Vacuum conveyors in the other hand are pneumatic conveyors that work with vacuum. These systems are comprised of four basic elements:
- a vacuum source,
- a material feed device,
- a conveying line and
- an air-material separator.
Advantages of pneumatic conveyors
The safest option for transporting bulk materials
Eliminates spills in the production line
Eliminates the risk of contamination
Compact and therefore space saving
Gentle, does not damage the material being conveyed
Easy handling, quick change, easy cleaning
Ensures safety as closed system reduces dust
Eliminates manual handling
Our individual customer solutions in the pneumatic conveyance sector
Our systems differ as much as our customers’ requirements and almost always have an individual note. Each system is therefore unique.
We can use system modules to offer, design and produce numerous solutions quickly and in a reproducible manner. Furthermore, our range of modules increases continuously due to the requirements of our new customers.
