Electrical Control Unit and Pneumatic Valves for Enhanced Automation
We engineer our electrical controls to work seamlessly with pneumatic valve units, giving you precise, repeatable control of every conveying cycle.
The ECU15 electrical control unit is the brain of the conveying system. It visualizes all key settings through an intuitive HMI (Human Machine Interface), placing start, stop, recipes, and diagnostics right at your fingertips. Fully CE marked and designed for industrial environments, ECU15 works together with dedicated pneumatic valve units to deliver stable, efficient vacuum conveying.
ECU‑15 Control Unit with Filter Monitoring
ECU15 is evolving. Advanced Filter Monitoring for piFLOW®p and piFLOW®t conveyors are added to the ECU-15 platform.
The control unit continuously measures the pressure drop over the conveyor filter and learns a clean filter baseline. Based on this, it provides timely alerts when filters start to clog and performance declines. Operators see clear status indications on the HMI and can plan cleaning or replacement before throughput and energy consumption are affected. Watch the video to learn how Filter Monitoring works in action.
Pneumatic valve units
Piab’s pneumatic valve units are matched to the electrical contol unit ECU 15 to give you accurate, repeatable control of vacuum, blow and filter cleaning.
The valve unit with a built-in Electro-Pneumatic Regulator is designed to work with piFLOW®t. It enables precise control of vacuum and air flow and supports piGENTLE® technology, ideal for gentle conveying of fragile materials and minimizing product damage.
The pneumatic valve VU EP is compatible with all other piFLOW® models and fits a wide range of processes and materials. It offers robust, reliable control for standard conveying applications.
The mounting bracket kit enables users to mount the ECU15 remotely, for example in a control cabinet or operator station away from the conveyor. This allows the mechanical setup to remain fully pneumatic while operators still use electrical controls and the HMI to manage and monitor the process.
