Dust-proof innovation for Piab’s COAX® technology
Taby, Sweden - Piab introduces a new COAX® cartridge that is ideal for applications
where there is dust or dirt present. This MINI size cartridge is ideal for Piab’s
VGS™3010 vacuum gripper system, a decentralized vacuum system that features a
suction cup and an efficient multi-stage air driven vacuum pump integrated in a single
unit, called a “Gripper.”
In dusty/dirty environments, such as in packaging where corrugated dust is prevalent,
this new COAX® Di16-2 dust-proof cartridge performs very well. Usually, in these
places, vacuum filters cannot be used due to their propensity to fill up with dust and
reduce the overall effectiveness of the vacuum system. The new COAX® Di16-2 is a
two-stage cartridge without flap valves. Dust and dirt has a free path through the
ejector nozzles, eliminating the risk for clogging- even in extreme applications, such as
high humidity in combination with dust. The COAX® Di16-2 provides vacuum levels
down to 70-kPa at a feed pressure of 6 bar.
COAX® is an ejector technology based on a multi-stage concept for creating vacuum
with compressed air. By integrating the internal components of a multi-stage vacuum
pump into a vacuum cartridge, COAX® allows for a smaller, more efficient, more
reliable and highly flexible technology. This flexibility is particularly helpful for users
who plan to design a modular system to address specific application needs.
The majority of Piab’s current vacuum pumps feature COAX® technology and are
compact, simple to install and generate minimal noise.

energy-efficiency, productivity, and working environments of vacuum users around the
world. As a reliable partner to many of the world’s largest manufacturers, Piab
develops and manufactures a complete line of vacuum pumps, vacuum accessories,
vacuum conveyors and suction cups for a variety of automated material handling and
factory automation processes. Piab utilizes COAX®, a completely new dimension in
vacuum technology, in many of its original products and solutions. COAX® cartridges
are smaller, more energy efficient and more reliable than conventional ejectors, and can
be integrated directly into machinery. This allows for the design of a flexible, modular
vacuum system. Piab is a worldwide organization with subsidiaries and distributors in
almost 70 countries. Its headquarters are in Sweden. For more information about Piab
