At the World of Industrial Processing trade show, Busch will not just be providing an insight into its comprehensive product portfolio for all industries but will also be announcing its latest vacuum solutions. Economical and safe vacuum supply is an issue that is becoming increasingly important for all areas of industry when considering ways to make production processes more economical, while taking energy savings and cost reductions into consideration. It is important to look at the complete production process to reduce the energy requirement and operating costs. Focussing exclusively on a vacuum pump’s energy requirement is not sufficient. The vacuum pump’s heat emissions or cooling method and its installation location or control make a significant difference to the overall energy balance. Busch therefore offers various options for heat recovery or improving the demand-based control of vacuum pumps.

As well as manufacturing energy-efficient vacuum pumps for various technologies, Busch also designs central vacuum systems that are tailor-made to suit the requirements of individual customers. This sort of centralization of vacuum supply offers several advantages. Firstly, it means that fewer vacuum pumps are required than in a decentral vacuum supply. In combination with demand-based control, this makes significant energy savings possible. Secondly, this kind of centralized vacuum system can be housed in a separate room, so that vacuum pumps no longer need to be installed in production areas; this means that noise and heat emissions are eliminated from workplaces. Tailor-made heat recovery concepts help operators use the waste heat produced and thereby achieve further energy savings. In cooled production areas, such as in the food industry, further savings are created by the centralization of vacuum supply, as air conditioning units can be designed to be smaller. Central vacuum supplies also offer high levels of reliability since all system-relevant components are designed to be redundant. Maintenance work can even be undertaken during ongoing operation without incurring any performance loss.  

Production downtime is a big and expensive problem for factories and needs to be prevented. Intelligent IoT solutions can help to reduce production downtime and to save a lot of money. OTTO is the digital service innovation by Busch Vacuum Solutions. It combines condition monitoring of vacuum pumps with attractive service packages. For high process reliability and less cost of ownership in factories.
