Vacuum pump offers better paper handling

PIAB presents its P5010 vacuum pump designed for optimising and enhancing paper-handling processes in the printing industry.

The P5010 pump features Coax cartridge technology and is designed for automated product handling applications.

Its modular design guarantees shorter changeover time and provides opportunities to customise and optimise vacuum performance, function and interface.

Featuring two base pumps and strong aluminum interfaces, PIAB said that the P5010 is energy efficient, lightweight, robust and reliable.

'Handling porous products such as corrugated cardboard and paper can be difficult due to vacuum leakage, which can cause line stoppages and affect the overall line efficiency,' said Jan Schieche, business unit manager for Graphic Industry at PIAB.

'The three-stage cartridges inside the P5010 pump creates lower noise and more initial vacuum flow, which translates into a faster response and more reliable function in leaking and high-speed applications.' To further reduce energy consumption, the P5010 series can be equipped with an optional air-saving (ES) function.

A control unit (CU) with valves for on/off and blow-off activation caters to the needs of packaging and printing companies that handle porous products.

The blow-off is essential to clean pipes, filters and surfaces from dust within the area of operations.

The adjustable blow-off flow capacity also enables the precise usage of force based on product weight to prevent product damage and improve process control.

The P5010 pump's design features a 'push-in principle' to facilitate its insertion and removal.

The assembly of the cartridge inside the pump does not require screws or hardware; users push it in to the manifold for convenient initial installation and removal for cleaning and maintenance.

P5010 can be installed using several mounting options, including the industry standard DIN rail mount and robust mounting rail for different pump modules.
