Getting to grips with sack handling
Sack handling can be fraught with finding a reliable solution. A new range of grippers from Piab are aimed specifically at solving the problem.
Gripping for packaging automation
Piab’s Kenos range of suction pad grippers are suitable for packaging and palletising. Suction pads or foam provide gripping tools that are very forgiving in terms of positioning, which enables them to be used in less precise applications.
Vacuum conveying expands
Ensuring a safer working environment in food and pharmaceutical processing plants, Wet-In-Place (WIP) functionality has been added to Piab’s popular piFLOWp vacuum conveyors. WIP spray nozzles are now available for inclusion/retrofitting in new and existing piFLOWp conveying systems.
