Building on the established success of its predecessor, piCLASSIC Neo minimizes environmental impact while providing the consistent performance and reliability that industries have long been depending on.
With a familiar footprint yet enhanced and modern design (international patent pending), businesses can integrate piCLASSIC™ Neo effortlessly, even existing piCLASSIC™ users. The new multi-stage COAX® ejector design, based on Piab’s innovative COAX® technology, is ready for any vacuum challenge. In addition, the new 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;
- piCLASSIC™ Neo Inline with the exhaust direction opposite the vacuum port, enabling e.g., flush mounting directly on profiles.
The Inline design is particularly 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 effortlessly 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 innovative and 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 at the core
As industries worldwide shift towards environmentally responsible manufacturing, piCLASSIC™ Neo leads the way with 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 premium 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 at the core 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 top-tier 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.”, Christina Storckenfeldt continues.
Designed for the future of automation
The piCLASSIC™ Neo family provide the solutions today for the rising challenges of future automation and robotics. Designed for the evolving manufacturing landscape, this vacuum pump is easy to install, effortless to maintain, and highly adaptable. It empowers businesses to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and remain agile in an ever-changing industrial environment.
