Piab piINLINE Vacuum Generators Review: Specs, Price and Applications
Piab piINLINE is a range of energy-efficient, easy-to-use inline vacuum ejectors based on COAX technology, designed so factory end users can easily replace single-stage inline ejectors.
It comes in Micro, Mini and Midi sizes, each with options for low feed pressure, high vacuum flow or deep vacuum. The Micro uses on average 50% less energy than comparable products, sound levels are lower, and Piab states the Mini pays for itself in about three months, with other models under six months.
Quick Verdict
An easy upgrade path from single-stage inline ejectors that pays back quickly through energy savings.

Design and Operating Principle
Single-stage inline ejectors are cheap and common but consume a lot of compressed air. Multi-stage COAX cartridges reuse the air through successive nozzles, producing more flow for the same consumption.
Inline design means the ejector sits in the hose, close to the cup, so it can replace existing units without changing tool layout.
Choosing among low-pressure, high-flow and deep-vacuum options tunes performance to the application.
Integration and Selection
Replace existing single-stage inline ejectors with the matching size and option. Mount close to the cup for fastest response.
