Piab Conveyor Feed Points

The Bag Dump Station for piFLOW^® i/f is designed to improve productivity while ensuring a clean and controlled working environment in food, pharmaceutical and chemical production. With an internal volume of 100 litres, it can handle up to four small bags at a time, reducing manual handling and increasing efficiency. When connected to a dust collector, the system provides full containment, preventing foreign material ingress and eliminating dust exposure in the work area. The bag dump station can be supplied with wheels for easy relocation and is configurable to meet specific process and compliance requirements. Versions are available that meet FDA and EC No. 1935/2004 requirements for hygienic applications.

The Feed Station for piFLOW^® p/t is a reliable solution for feeding bridging and difficult materials in food, pharmaceutical and chemical processes. An optional fluidising function improves material flow, while the elevated technical height of the feed adapter provides additional support for challenging products. Two air injection points allow precise adjustment of carrying air for optimal conveying performance. With a volume of 40 litres and a hygienic design manufactured in electropolished SS316L, the feed station meets FDA and EC No. 1935/2004 requirements.

The Feed Adapter for piFLOW^® i/f is optimised for integration with Piab feed stations or compatible third-party feed stations in food, pharmaceutical and chemical processes. It is primarily used for free-flowing materials and granules where stable, controlled feeding is required. The adjustable valve allows precise control of carrying air to optimise material flow and conveying performance. Manufactured from pickled SS304 with a Jacob interface, the adapter is robust and easy to integrate. FDA and EC No. 1935/2004 compliant material options are available for hygienic production environments.

The Feed Adapter for piFLOW^® p/t is designed for use with the feed station or as a transition piece in hygienic conveying systems. It is particularly well suited for bridging materials and relatively large granules in food, pharmaceutical and chemical applications. Carrying air can be adjusted at two positions, providing excellent control for challenging materials. The adapter is available with either a Universal flange or Piab interface and is manufactured from electropolished SS316L. It meets FDA and EC No. 1935/2004 requirements for hygienic production.

The Suction Pipes for piFLOW^® i/f are lightweight and ergonomically designed for manual pickup of free-flowing powders and granules in industrial and hygienic environments. An integrated ball valve allows the operator to add carrier air as needed to stabilise conveying. A suction guard at the inlet prevents bags or foreign objects from entering the system, improving operational safety. Manufactured from pickled SS304, the suction pipe is suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical and chemical applications where durability and clean handling are required.

The Feed Nozzles for piFLOW^® p/t are designed for challenging powders and granules in food, pharmaceutical and chemical production where precise airflow control is critical. Multiple adjustable air intake positions allow optimisation of material flow for difficult products. Ergonomic handles improve operator comfort, while the integrated suction guard enhances safety by preventing sacks or foreign objects from entering the conveying line. The nozzle can be disassembled into small parts for easy cleaning and reduced downtime and can be grounded for additional safety. Manufactured from electropolished SS316L, it is available with or without TC connection and meets FDA and EC No. 1935/2004 requirements.

The Feed Pipe for piFLOW^® t is specifically developed for the gentle conveying of tablets and capsules in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production. Its front-end design increases conveying speed while maintaining extremely gentle product handling to protect fragile products. The feed pipe can be grounded for enhanced safety and is available in antistatic material for sensitive environments. Designed for easy and frequent cleaning, it is manufactured from SS316L and fully complies with FDA and EC No. 1935/2004 requirements.
