Vacuum conveyor piFLOW®am by Piab

Conveying bulk materials

IB Verfahrenstechnik has been a member of the Piab Group since 2023. We can therefore offer you vacuum conveyors from experts.

Piab has released the first vacuum conveyor specifically designed for the additive manufacturing process – the piFLOW®am. It is now available for integration into OEM systems.

The small and compact design features Piab’s proprietary and highly efficient COAX® vacuum technology as well as a butterfly valve. The butterfly valve is not sensitive to pressure fluctuations and is able to keep a material batch inside without the pump being mounted. It has a standard TC connection which makes it simple to integrate for the customer. The unit is simple to use and is easily integrated with any type or brand of 3D printer, sieve, hopper and other intermediate vessel. The product is controlled by pneumatic or electrical control units.
