Production/Services Light Compressed Air Vacuum etc.



Non-centralized Vacuum



Central Vacuum System



Can Production

Round-the-clock Production 24/7

Sequential Processes

Continuous availability of Vacuum and Compressed Air

One single Process down means production is down



Requirements for Pumps and Compressors

Durable and reliable

Design for continuous operation

Easy and fast maintenance

High efficiency - low power consumption



Available Technologies

Liquid ring vacuum pumps

Screw pumps and compressors

Rotary vane pumps and compressors


Selection criteria for the “ideal pump” •  Rotary vane technology

•  Plug & Play units •  Air cooling •  Extended warranty on functionality AND efficiency •  Low power consumption •  Variable Speed Drive and system control •  OEM independent •  Possibility of “Heat Recovery” during winter •  Low noise level


Why Rotary vane technology? UV Rotary Vane Vacuum pumps

- 1 rotor - 2 bearing points - minimal

loading - No axial forces - Active sealing - Direct drive via elastic

coupling - Aluminum Vanes - Low rotation speed, 1.450

rpm @ 50 Hz - No preventive maintenance - No need for major

overhauling


Screw Vacuum Pumps - 2 rotors - 4 or 6 bearing points - high

Loading - High axial forces - Passive sealing - Gear box - Metallic contact on start-up - High Speeds, up to 5,000

rpm - Preventive airend

replacement necessary

Why Plug & Play units?

•  No cement foundation •  No separate electrical

cabinets •  No water trenches •  No exposed equipment •  No noisy installation

Why air cooling?

Because this is what

you don’t want!

Why VSD and system control?

The system is designed to constantly deliver the requested vacuum level without the need of manual corrections and to ensure that this is reached even in different production conditions, while saving energy


The «rule of thumb» for Energy Savings If saved energy is 100 kW for 8600 h/year,

thus 860.000 kWh @ 0,10 €/kWh, yearly saving is:

86.000 € or…



- Investments in new machinery

- Saving a Job

- More maintenance

Why Heat Recovery?

Can making target pressure


Approx 50% of this power can be recovered

Rotary Vane Technology As simple as possible As reliable as possible

Vacuum Pumps

•  Vertical layout •  Ready to use •  Easily accessible •  Soundproof canopy •  Air cooling •  Control & power panel •  With inlet filter •  Oil separation system
