piCLASSIC is Piab’s upgraded vacuum pump series based on COAX technology. Suitable for a wide range of handling applications in the dairy field with large capacities despite its small size and low weight, the piCLASSIC is designed with greater efficiencies than previous pumps in this size class. With an initial high amount of flow, there is no need for expensive vacuum tanks and vacuum valves that are usually needed on machines performing at high rates of speed using rotary vane pumps. With its compressed air source for energy, the piCLASSIC is easy to turn on/off, thus making it ideal for operations that only need vacuum intermittently - a great energy saver.

The Gamajet-88 is a rotary impingement system designed specifically for tanker cleaning. The Gamajet-88 creates high-impact jets, which scour the tank interior, blasting residue from the surface. What makes the Gamajet-88 different from traditional Gamajet machines is the utilization of two machines to specifically focus the impact at the bulkheads. These dual machines work in unison to offer a concise global indexing pattern that covers the entire tanker with twice as many passes at the bulkheads, resulting in the most efficient and effective cleaning in under 20 minutes with 75% less water and chemicals than any other process.
