piFLOW®pSMART is Piab's complete and intelligent vacuum conveying system. 

Based on machine learning, it boosts performance and productivity as the world's first self-optimising vacuum conveyor.

The conveyor enables material changes six times faster than conventional conveyors, so that changeovers take from an hour or more to just 10 minutes. That's why we call it "the champion of material changeover".

piFLOW®pSMART is equipped with level sensors and an intelligent control unit that allows constant monitoring of the conveying process (vacuum, product and pressure level), as well as taking into account environmental conditions such as temperature or humidity and ensuring flawless conveying.
