Central Vacuum Systems
CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEMS Depending on the application, energy savings of up to 70 % can be achieved with a central vacuum system. And this is not the only benefit. Selecting the right vacuum supply in vacuum processes has a significant influence on the operational safety and the economic efficiency of the whole process. In a plant which uses multiple machines that require vacuum, it may be worth considering a centralization of the vacuum supply. Busch is the leading provider of customized vacuum and overpressure systems. We have more than 50 years of experience in designing and building tailor-made systems for all industries. Significant savings - Demand-driven control - Easier and faster maintenance during normal working hours - Heat recovery (50-70 % of energy consumption) - Reduced demand for air conditioning (if applicable) Increased productivity - Lower required pumping speed, resulting in a reduced number of vacuum pumps - High uptime and reliability because of stand-by vacuum modules - Long lifetime thanks to evenly distributed workload - Higher flexibility due to on-demand vacuum, expansion of system often possible Improved working environment - Set up in special equipment rooms, separate from production areas - No noise emissions in production area - Lowest heat emissions in production area - Clean working environment in production area (e.g. no contact with hygienically sensitive zones during maintenance work)
R5 - Oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps: energy efficient solution for vacuum packaging
By developing the first rotary vane vacuum pump for food packaging, Busch set the standard in the packaging industry. For decades, the R5 rotary vane vacuum pumps have been leaders in creating vacuum for producing, processing and packaging food and other vacuum packaging applications. Because they are optimized for use around end pressure and as a result of their high reliability and long life, Busch rotary vane vacuum pumps are considered the "vacuum pumps for packaging par excellence." The R5 RD is the new generation within the proven R5 product family and the result of this ongoing development. Efficient Up to 50% energy savings thanks to the variable speed drive (VSD), automatic start and stop function with Ecomode High performance High pumping speed at low pressure ranges, designed for continuous operation in the rough vacuum range, best-in-class footprint performance ratio Flexible Precise adjustment of vacuum level (pressure control) and pumping speed (speed control) to process requirements, compatible with a wide range of supply voltages

SAMOS - Side channel blowers
SAMOS side channel blowers are the ideal choice for all applications, where a pulsation-free volume flow is required. They can be used to generate vacuum and overpressure. These side channel blowers are available as single- and two-stage versions. Their die-cast aluminum or cast-iron construction makes them very robust. SAMOS side channel blowers have a dynamically balanced impeller made of aluminum alloy. Thus, they generate very low vibration and noise levels. The large variety of sizes gives you the opportunity to choose the perfect SAMOS for any application, both technically and economically. An extensive range of accessories completes the portfolio. The smooth-running vacuum and overpressure generator! - Robust construction - Reliable performance with an exceptional high uptime - Low noise levels - High differential pressures and pumping speeds - Nearly maintenance-free - Dry and contact-free operation - cCSAus-certified
R5 PLUS
R5 PLUS – Proven Rotary Vane Technology for Industry 4.0 The fully connected Busch R5 PLUS series vacuum pump brings the proven Busch rotary vane vacuum technology to the next level. With advanced control and monitoring functionalities, our R5 RA 0840 A PLUS is ready for Industry 4.0. Features + Operating data and the condition of the components are recorded permanently + Data can be accessed directly on the built-in display or transferred via a Modbus TCP/IP client/server protocol + Intuitive menu structure on the large high-definition color display + Remote control of the vacuum pump possible + Large pumping speed range thanks to a variable speed drive Operating Modes Users can choose between constant speed mode or pressure control mode, making the vacuum pump exceptionally energy-efficient. Constant speed mode: For processes with constant vacuum demand, it is recommended to leave the R5 PLUS running at constant speed. Pressure control mode: For processes with changing vacuum demand over time, the pressure control mode is the ideal choice. In this case the R5 PLUS adjusts the rotational speed according to the required vacuum level. Once this vacuum level has been achieved, the R5 PLUS continues to run at a minimum speed, enabling it to respond to a sudden need for increased vacuum demand and leading to further energy savings.
