Feed points
Piab’s conveyor feeding systems are specifically designed to optimize material handling in manufacturing environments.
Feed points are the first step in the process. They connect raw material storage to smooth transport. This ensures a steady flow of powders, granules, and small parts in the process. Even hazardous material pickup becomes possible with the appropriate equipment.
No matter if materials come in barrels, bulk bags, or small sacks, Piab feed points provide flexibility and performance, which makes them essential in modern production lines.
How do the materials enter your process?
In big bags
Use a 1. Piab feed station equipped with a 2. Feed adapter to prevent bridging and ensure steady material supply as part of your big bag unloading system.
Ensure a safe and efficient handling of bulk materials while integrating seamlessly into existing production setups.
In small bags
3. Bag dump stations combine a compact design with dust-free performance. Capable of handling approximately 4 small bags at a time, these stations ensure safe and ergonomic material introduction into the vacuum conveyors, catering to smaller-scale operations.
In bins, IBCs, barrels or sacks
4. Feed nozzles are the best options for challenging materials such as powders and granules, optimized for ergonomic, clean, and efficient feeding. 5. Feed pipes are specialized for delicate materials, including tablets and capsules, ensuring safe handling and transfer.
Selecting the right feed point is essential to optimize the overall production line. Piab offers versatile systems that cater to the diverse characteristics of materials, surrounding environments, and specific production needs, paving the way for a fully optimized and productive manufacturing process.
