1. Central vacuum system

The packaging of foodstuffs means many vacuum pumps in individual packaging machines are in continuous operation. This means more waste heat and more cooling required in the production halls.

With a central vacuum system, you need fewer pumps, you save on cooling, and your pumps only run when vacuum is actually needed in the process. Good reasons to weigh the long-term lower energy costs against the sometimes higher initial costs.

Reduce maintenance costs:
With a central vacuum system for the packaging floor, pump performance is controlled intelligently. As a result, the system is also able to react immediately to performance peaks, malfunctions or even failures.

2. Digital Services

It is no secret that regular maintenance work is a necessary evil. It is often associated with costs due to downtime and the employees involved. Especially if the vacuum pumps are either serviced too frequently or too infrequently.

But how do I know when maintenance really makes sense? OO – Digital services provides the answer. OO registers fluctuations or deviations in pump performance in real time and calculates the correct time for maintenance. And it gets even better: If OO suggests maintenance, you can send a service request to Busch technicians directly from the system. Save on maintenance costs through digitalization and reliable service.

3. Variable speed vacuum pumps

The vacuum pump's maximum pumping speed is not always required during the packaging process. Therefore, it should not run continuously at 100% power. Demand-driven pumps are the solution.

Thanks to their Variable Speed Drive (VSD), they precisely adapt their speed to the current process requirements and reduce your energy costs. And with our retrofit kits, you don't even have to buy a new vacuum pump. You can retrofit your current systems conveniently and cost-effectively. A Busch service technician near you will be happy to help you with your VSD update.
