piPUMP™ MICRO is truly easy-to-buy and easy-to-mount and use.

Hingham, MA --- Piab, a leading supplier of industrial vacuum technology, offers its patented COAX® technology in a new small sized ejector called piPUMP™ MICRO. COAX® is the most energy efficient ejector technology based on a multi-stage concept for creating vacuum with compressed air.

piPUMP™ MICRO is truly easy-to-buy and easy-to-mount and use. A handy configurator tool on Piabs website, www.piab.com, allows the user to select the vacuum characteristics along with a few options for filtration and connections.

The piPUMP™ can be used for small centralized systems but perhaps even more suitable for semi-decentralized systems, i.e., a few units creating vacuum supporting a few small cups each. Thanks to very low weight and small dimension it can also be used as a fully decentralized ejector on a Delta robot for example.

The small footprint of the unit provides flexibility in mounting and use. Installation is a breeze with push-in connections and a common feed for compressed air, regardless of the number of units chosen. The central exhaust allows the exhaust to be drawn away in clean room environments.

Because COAX® Cartridges are up to twice as fast as other cartridges and provide three times more flow than a conventional ejector with the same air consumption; the piPUMP™ MICRO is able to provide a high performance even at low or fluctuating feed pressures (14-87 psi). Additionally, piPUMP™ MICRO vacuum units begin producing vacuum immediately when the pressure valve is turned on, making maximum use of the compressed air and consuming significantly less energy than traditional vacuum pumps.
