Piab Introduces the Piflow®Am Specialized for Additive Manufacturing
Having served the 3D-printing market with its piFLOW®p vacuum conveyors, Piab now introduces the first vacuum conveyor developed specifically for additive manufacturing - the piFLOW®am.
The piFLOW®am is a small vacuum conveyor designed based on requirements from OEMs within Additive Manufacturing segment. 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 another intermediate vessel. The product is controlled by pneumatic or electrical control units.
