01Advantages of industrial vacuum systems

Systems built to your specific requirements

One of the main advantages of industrial vacuum systems is the ability to combine vacuum pumps to suit specific requirements and environments. This means you can get a system designed specifically to meet the unique needs of your process – for example, a vacuum system designed for dusty environments, or one designed specifically for handling hazardous materials.

In addition, various accessories such as nozzles and hoses can be fitted to vacuum pumps and systems to adapt them even further to your needs.

Durability and long service life

The vacuum systems and pumps we offer are built to last. Vacuum pumps are made to work in harsh conditions for many years.

Industrial vacuum systems are built to withstand tough operating conditions in demanding applications, which makes them a wise investment for industries looking for long-term solutions.

Easy to use and easy to maintain

Industrial vacuum pumps are easy to operate and need minimal maintenance. You will no longer need to spend much time training staff to use them, or much money on maintenance.

Vacuum systems come with clear operating instructions, and all this kind of equipment needs is regular cleaning and servicing to keep it running smoothly. Internal components are also designed to be serviced and, if necessary, replaced quickly and easily.

Top performance

Industrial vacuum pumps deliver top performance. They are designed for fast, efficient operation, with no preliminary system preparation, so work can resume very quickly. They can process large volumes of material quickly and efficiently and can completely extract dust, dirt and other contaminants from the work area.

Limited cross-contamination

Industrial vacuum systems can greatly reduce the risk of cross-contamination and health hazards. They remove residues very effectively and help you minimise cross-contamination, unplanned mixtures and dangerous working conditions such as fire or explosion.

Besides extracting harmful residues, vacuum systems also allow hazardous substances such as asbestos to be collected and stored safely, protecting employees’ health and preventing contamination of other materials or products.

Vacuum pumps made from quality components

Industrial vacuum pumps are designed, built and driven with top-quality components, allowing the system to run for many years without risk of failure.

Components such as hoses are reinforced to prevent tearing, motors are built for long-term use, and certain parts reduce friction or prevent the build-up of static electricity.

02Types of industrial vacuum systems

  • Rotary screw vacuum pumps – most often used in the food and beverage industry, designed to handle a range of materials including powders, liquids and solids.
  • Oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps – most often used in industrial manufacturing processes, designed to handle liquids and solids.
  • Claw vacuum pumps – used mainly in semiconductor production; they can be designed specifically for transferring fragile substrates, cleaning and drying.
  • Liquid ring vacuum pumps – most often used in the chemical industry, in applications such as distillation, dehydration and evaporation.
  • Oil-free rotary vane vacuum pumps – used mainly in the pharmaceutical and food industries, designed to handle liquids, solids and sludge.
  • Piston vacuum pumps – most often used in the aerospace industry, metal drying and printing, as well as heat treatment, drying and casting.
  • Roots vacuum pumps (vacuum boosters) – often used in the paper and textile industries, and in applications such as drying knives and separating fibres.
  • Lobe vacuum systems – designed for exceptional durability, used for material transfer and conveying bulk solids.

Investing in an industrial vacuum pump system will certainly help your production increase productivity, improve safety and reduce downtime in your plant.
