Dust-proof Innovation for Piab’s COAX® Technology

Hingham, MA - Piab introduces a new COAX^® cartridge that is ideal for applications where there is dust or dirt present.  This MINI size cartridge is ideal for Piab’s VGS™3010 vacuum gripper system, a decentralized vacuum system that features a suction cup and an efficient multi-stage air driven vacuum pump integrated in a single unit, called a “Gripper.”  

In dusty/dirty environments, such as in packaging where corrugated dust is prevalent, this new COAX^® Di16-2 dust-proof cartridge performs very well. Usually, in these places, vacuum filters cannot be used due to their propensity to fill up with dust and reduce the overall effectiveness of the vacuum system.  The new COAX^® Di16-2 is a two-stage cartridge without flap valves. Dust and dirt have a free path through the ejector nozzles, eliminating the risk for clogging- even in extreme applications, such as high humidity in combination with dust.  The COAX^® Di16-2 provides vacuum levels down to 21 -inHg at a feed pressure of 87 psi.

COAX^® is an ejector technology based on a multi-stage concept for creating vacuum with compressed air. By integrating the internal components of a multi-stage vacuum pump into a vacuum cartridge, COAX^® allows for a smaller, more efficient, more reliable and highly flexible technology. This flexibility is particularly helpful for users who plan to design a modular system to address specific application needs.

The majority of Piab’s current vacuum pumps feature COAX^® technology and are compact, simple to install and generate minimal noise.
