Vacuum pump

The P6040 pump can reduce energy costs by up to 25% or more compared to other methods of generating a vacuum. With flexible mounting options, an extensive performance range and optional control functions, the P6040 is highly adaptable and suitable for most industrial vacuum applications.

The P6040 offers powerful suction in a small package due to Piab’s Coax technology. This allows the pump to be mounted close to the point of suction, resulting in smaller pump requirements with lessened energy needs. The Coax technology consists of three main types of cartridges, Pi, Si and Xi for different applications.

Pi cartridges have been developed to achieve a high vacuum level (down to 90 -kPa) at low feed pressures. They are suitable when pressures in compressed air lines fluctuate and are recommended in situations such as handling sheet metal or glass or other non-porous products.

Si cartridges are designed to provide extra vacuum flow. They are highly recommended for handling porous materials such as corrugated board or where it is necessary to compensate for leakage in order to maintain the vacuum level. Si cartridges can deliver moderate vacuum levels down to 75 -kPa.

Xi cartridges are designed to provide high flow at deep vacuum levels (down to 95 -kPa) and are suitable for use at moderate feed pressures. The Xi cartridge is suitable for drying, mixing, degassing and evaporation as well as applications such as injection moulding and thermo forming.

The P6040 also features a blow function. As compressed air is cooled, blow-out air is also cooled and can be used for dividing thin sheets of material like plastic film or paper.
