Plastics processing with vacuum and overpressure
Without vacuum, nothing works in plastics processing. Vacuum pumps and systems from Busch are used in all process steps. From the production of the raw granulate and plastic extrusion to the manufacture of the finished plastics part. All the way to recycling.
Let us guide you in finding the perfect solution for your process requirements.
We have looked for an optimization for the existing vacuum supply on two laminating systems and realized a significant cost reduction with a simple solution.
