Piab piPUMP23 Vacuum Pump Review: Specs, Price and Applications
The Piab piPUMP23 offers the same vacuum performance and energy efficiency as the piCOMPACT23 but without its advanced integrated controls, making it a lower-cost option for packaging, sheet metal and wood handling.
It is fully configurable with one or two COAX SX12 or SX42 cartridges, optional cleanable filters in two sizes, up to three vacuum connections and Amplified Blow-Off (ABO), which closes the ejector path during blow-off so all air goes to the cups.
Quick Verdict
A cost-effective pump for palletizing and sheet handling when the controls of piCOMPACT23 are not needed.

Design and Operating Principle
Removing integrated controls reduces cost while keeping piCOMPACT23 vacuum performance. Control can come from the robot or PLC instead.
ABO directs all compressed air to the cups during blow-off, giving a stronger release and faster cycles, and helps clean cups in dusty environments.
Optional filters protect cartridges where dust is present.
Integration and Selection
Choose SX12 or SX42 cartridges for the vacuum level and flow, and add filters for dusty products. Control valves externally.
Use ABO for fast release in palletizing.
