The lightweight piCHIP unit is a small vacuum pump which is optimized for integration. It is flexible enough to surface mount quickly on a variety of materials. With its almost silent operation, the piCHIP is ideal for clean room operations. Medical and electronic industries are best suited to use this product in their vacuum applications. Because COAX® cartridges are up to twice as fast as other cartridges and provide three times more flow than a conventional ejector with the same air consumption, the piCHIP is able to provide a high performance even at low or fluctuating feed pressures (0.1-0.6 MPa).
