How does it work

Compared to the Gough bucket elevators using gravity as a sustainable energy source, pneumatic conveyors either work with positive pressure or vacuum. With positive pressure conveying the material is pushed by the higher pressure on the feed side of the conveying system. Vacuum conveyors on the other hand pull the material with a vacuum that is created on the receiving side of the pneumatic conveying system.

No tools needed to strip down. Just release the clamps, disassemble, clean and replace parts within minutes.

Key advantages of our sieving machine

No moving parts

There are no moving parts that can shear objects or need to be lubricated, pinch points that would grab a piece of clothing or nip points where the gears would meet.

Low Risk

Conveyed materials are transferred in a closed system, not being exposed to air.

Space saving

Pneumatic conveyors can even be mounted right below the ceiling, taking up only a fragment of space compared to a mechanical conveyor.

Easy maintenance

Pneumatic conveyors usually have an in-built filter cleaning system that prevents the filters from clogging.

Can a vacuum system be used for dry powders in the food industry?
Yes, Piab supply units can be FDA compliant.
Can Gough integrate Piab systems with other quality control processes?

Yes, Gough Engineering can provide integration to allow connection to any of our sieves or separators, as well as vibratory feeders and metal rejection systems before your next process e.g. in final packing.

Are you using dense-phase vacuum conveying?
Yes, each Piab vacuum conveyor system uses dense phase conveying. This method ensures that the product quality stays high during transport. 
How do you choose an air-powered vacuum conveyor?

When configuring a pneumatic vacuum conveying system, you must consider many aspects. Consider the conveying length and height. Think about the capacity you need to deliver. Also, look at the bulk density and other features of the material.
