Busch Vacuum Solutions offers the latest rotary vane vacuum pump for the food manufacturing industry, now available in an improved version with a completely redesigned interior. This new vacuum pump is 25% more energy efficient than its predecessor, thanks to optimized compression ratio, pump stage dimensions, and oil discharge path. It also comes with Ecotorque, the Busch variable speed drive (VSD), which allows the pumping speed to be adjusted to meet the specific requirements of any process, resulting in additional energy savings of up to 50% and a 20% increase in pumping speed.
The newly designed rotary vane vacuum pump R5 RA 0520 A from Busch features a compact and hygienic design, reduced heat emissions, and easier maintenance. By extending the supply voltage range supported by the vacuum pump, it can be used in almost all countries around the world. Furthermore, this cost-effective solution is also available as a retrofit.
Compared to the previous generation, the R5 RA 0520 A has a 20% smaller footprint and is 25% lower in height. The absence of external piping improves leak tightness, and the surfaces of the pump repel water and dirt, enhancing its hygiene. The new design also reduces the total number of spare parts by 40%, enabling fast and efficient maintenance. In addition, heat emissions have been decreased through an improved cooling system that combines optimal pump operating temperature with a compact construction.
This vacuum pump is designed for continuous operation in the rough vacuum range, providing vacuum levels down to 0.1 hPa (mbar). It has successfully undergone field tests to validate its performance and reliability.
With its suitability for various applications in vacuum packaging, food and plastics processing, and many other industries, this vacuum pump is an ideal choice for companies aiming to improve their processes while minimizing energy costs and reducing their environmental impact.
