Piab piINLINE plus Low Feed Pressure Version Review: Specs, Price and Applications
The low feed pressure version of Piab piINLINE plus is designed for compressed air lines with pressure fluctuations. It keeps the ultra-light, compact design with integrated automatic release, PA66 housing and in-line push-in ports.
Its Atmospheric Quick Release (AQR) holds the release function at a lower feed pressure in vacuum mode, trading a minimal amount of release speed for stable vacuum force when air pressure varies. One or two MICRO COAX cartridges are fitted.
Quick Verdict
The right piINLINE plus variant for plants with unstable air supply, keeping vacuum force steady where standard ejectors would fade.

Design and Operating Principle
In large press shops, many tools draw air at once and line pressure dips. Standard ejectors lose vacuum when pressure drops, risking dropped parts. The low-pressure version is tuned to maintain vacuum force under such conditions.
AQR lets in atmospheric air for release without an extra hose, and here it is held at lower pressure during vacuum mode.
All other benefits of piINLINE plus remain, including light weight and point-of-use mounting.
Integration and Selection
Use where air pressure fluctuates. Select cartridge count for cup size and speed.
Monitor vacuum to verify stability during peak air demand.
