Piab unveils piCLASSIC Neo, the latest version of its piCLASSIC vacuum pump. Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern industries, the piCLASSIC Neo variants combine efficiency, adaptability and sustainability.
Building on the success of its predecessor, piCLASSIC Neo offers the trusted performance and reliability while minimizing the environmental impact. With a familiar footprint and modern design (international patent pending), businesses can integrate piCLASSIC Neo, even existing piCLASSIC users. The multi-stage COAX ejector design, based on Piab’s COAX technology, is ready for vacuum challenges. In addition, the energy saving functions, available for handling either leaking or sealed applications, enable manufacturers to minimize their Scope 2 Emissions and energy-related costs.
The air-driven vacuum pump is available in two variants: piCLASSIC Neo, the standard variant, with all ports accessible from one side; and piCLASSIC Neo Inline with the exhaust direction opposite the vacuum port, enabling e.g., flush mounting directly on profiles. The Inline design is suitable for End-of-Arm-Tooling (EOAT) and robotic applications, making equipment integration easier.
Quick to Install, Easy to Maintain
piCLASSIC Neo is ready for fast-paced packaging lines, high-precision electronics manufacturing, secure automotive production, or general industrial applications. It is designed to integrate into a diverse range industries with its multiple configuration possibilities, installation interfaces and accessories.
In addition, piCLASSIC Neo is built for fast maintenance and long-lasting reliability. Key components are easily accessible thanks to its modular design, simplifying service efforts and reducing downtime to keep operations running smoothly. Multiple accessories and upgrade possibilities are available to ensure prolonged lifetime as well as adaptability to current and future application needs.
“By being easy to both install and maintain, piCLASSIC Neo supports operational efficiency for a vast range of industrial applications," says Christina Storckenfeldt, Product Manager, Vacuum Automation Division, Piab AB.
Energy efficiency and Sustainability
As industries worldwide shift towards environmentally responsible manufacturing, piCLASSIC Neo has a design rooted in sustainability. It is designed following eco-design principles, resulting in up to 58% reduction in CO2-emissions cradle-to-gate compared to its predecessor.
piCLASSIC Neo uses sustainable materials (bio-based or recycled) for plastic components, and is designed for optimal material usage without compromising on durability and robustness.
Beyond the pump design itself, energy efficiency is a component of piCLASSIC Neo. With optional energy saving functions—piSAVE ESS or piSAVE ESL—businesses can minimize air consumption and reduce operating costs. This ensures a more efficient and responsible approach to vacuum solutions when handling either leaking or sealed materials. Users can achieve vacuum capabilities, while still reducing their environmental impact as they move towards manufacturing processes in alignment with global sustainability goals.
“We've designed piCLASSIC Neo to fit not only today's manufacturing demands but also tomorrow's, helping manufacturers take a simple step toward a more sustainable production process," says Christina Storckenfeldt.
Designed for Automation
The piCLASSIC Neo family provides solutions for the rising challenges of future automation and robotics. Designed for the evolving manufacturing landscape, this vacuum pump is easy to install, maintain, and highly adaptable. It empowers businesses to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and remain agile in an ever-changing industrial environment.
