Case Study: Taconic Acid Chemical Company improves safety and reduces dust with Piab vacuum conveyors

Taconic Acid Chemical Company improves safety by moving product 6 metres with Piab

Piab provided a solution for Taconic Acid Chemical Company, a manufacturer dealing with advanced materials and chemicals. The customer faced a significant safety and efficiency challenge in its process of transferring Taconic acid into a reactor. Previously, operators had to hoist and manually empty supersacks from a height, creating a time-consuming, dusty, and dangerous operation that risked worker health and safety.

Piab implemented a system centered around its piFLOW®p vacuum conveyor and a specialized feed adapter. This solution automated the transfer of material from a ground-level bulk bag unloader directly to the reactors. The dust-tight design of the Piab equipment created a cleaner, safer work environment by reducing product loss to the atmosphere and minimizing waste. The automation also reduced labor, increased reliability with minimal maintenance, and significantly improved overall operational safety for the customer.
