Improve your ejector pump
piSAVE optimize – an optimized energy saving product for air-driven vacuum pumps/ejectors in virtually any type of vacuum application is available on the market.
Piab introduces piSAVE optimize, a vacuum controlled proportional pressure regulator. A fully pneumatic device, easy to use and easy to install – actually the perfect pressure regulator for air-driven pumps/ejectors! Why adjust the feed pressure, when the desired vacuum level can be adjusted instead. piSAVE optimize will take care of the rest.
piSAVE optimize senses the vacuum level in the system. The feed pressure of the compressed air to the vacuum pump/ejector is automatically regulated and controlled to maintain the set vacuum level. The vacuum level is kept constant in this manner and the air/energy usage is kept to a minimum for the application (optimized).

Single-Use Technologies: Steam-Thru
The benefits of single-use systems can be found throughout biopharmaceutical manufacturing, but whether in an upstream or downstream process, sterility assurance is critical. Innovative connection technology from Colder allows manufacturers to quickly and easily make aseptic connections between single-use bag systems, tube sets and/or stainless process equipment.
Colder Products' Patented Steam-Thru® Connection technology creates a sterile link between pre-sterilized bag systems or tube sets and stainless process equipment. The product’s innovative three-port design maximizes sterility assurance by eliminating “dead legs” and allowing steam to pass directly through the connection to “steam on” to stainless equipment.

Measures air flow up to 1000 liters/min all with one of the industry's smallest sizes
The FM-200 Series is a bi-directional digital flow sensor for use with air or Nitrogen gas. It offers high precision detection in an ultra small package, thanks to the utilization of MEMS technology. The series covers a wide range of flow rates and has a wide range of I/O options standard, such as dual discrete outputs, an analog voltage output, and an external input.
Dual Digital Display: The integrated two-color dual digital display offers quick and easy verification of the sensor's operation, including flow rate, direction, and output condition.
Bi-Directional Flow Detection: The unique sensor chip of the FM-200 allows for flow sensing in both directions. The unit utilizes two temperature sensors, one on each side of a heater element, to determine the heat distribution. This concept provides accurate detection, regardless of flow direction.
Flow Rate and Flow Meter Modes: The FM-200 series not only has the ability of displaying the real time flow rate of a process, but also has a mode that will allow the unit to function as a flow meter. This is great for applications where the customer would like monitor the amount of air used or lost in their process.
Comprehensive Lineup: The FM-200 series consists of three main body styles with a total of eight flow rate ranges, from 0.5 l/min to 1000 l/min. Port options range from 4mm push fit to G1/2 female threads. The comparative outputs are available in NPN or PNP types.
