Compressed Air Industry POWER PLANTS | 02/09 | PRODUCT PICKS Energy-Efficient Vacuum Pump PIAB presents its P5010 vacuum pump for optimizing and enhancing handling processes in the secondary manufacturing in the packaging line of consumer goods. Featuring patented COAX® cartridge technology and designed for automated product handling applications, the P5010 pump gives the highest possible vacuum performance in relation to energy consumption, helping to reduce carbon footprint and improve conservation efforts. The modular P5010 design guarantees shorter changeover time and provides opportunities to customize and optimize vacuum performance, function and interface. Featuring two base pumps and strong aluminum interfaces, the P5010 is highly energy-efficient, lightweight, robust and reliable. “Consumer packaged goods (CPG) are often difficult to handle due to various shapes and porous packaging materials, which can allow vacuum leakage between the suction and product surface. This leakage can lead to dropped products, line stoppages and reduced efficiency,” said Josef Ramslov, Business Unit Manager for Consumer Goods Industry at PIAB. “The three-stage cartridges inside the P5010 pump create more initial vacuum flow, which translate into a faster response and more reliable product handling in leaking and high-speed applications.” To further reduce energy consumption, the P5010 series can be equipped with an optional airsaving (ES) function. Further, a control unit (CU) with valves for on/off and blow-off activation caters to the needs of packaging and manufacturing companies that handle porous products, such as paper and corrugated cardboard. The blow-off is essential to clean pipes, filters and surfaces from dust in handling applications. The adjustable blow-off flow-capacity also enables the appropriate usage of force based on product weight to prevent damage, product loss and improve process control. These two options can also be combined with a digital display (an additional Automated Vacuum Management AVM 2) to further reduce the risk of personnel injuries and unnecessary scrap.
