A new range of “highly efficient” vacuum pumps will be unveiled by Atlas Copco for the first time at a compressed air and vacuums show.
The company’s new GHS VSD+ series boasts energy savings of up to 50%, noise reduction of 50% and improved performance against conventional vacuum pumps. The range includes the GHS 350-900 VSD+ and GHS 1900 VSD+ prototype, which generate nominal displacement of up to 900m3/h and 1900m3/h respectively.
“Based on the well-known and durable plug-and-play design principles of Atlas Copco compressors, these vacuum pumps have been designed by vacuum engineers to deliver peak performance at operating pressures commonly found in industrial applications,” the company added.
It will exhibit the new line of products at ComVac 2015, which will be held in Hannover, Germany in April.
Atlas Copco Utility Vacuum communications manager Christoph Angenendt said: “The level of efficiency achieved with this new range is a product of innovative design and variable speed control. From a technology and design viewpoint, the new vacuum pumps are based on Atlas Copco compressors, and therefore provide fully wired, complete systems in a single housing. Compared to oil-sealed and dry-valve vacuum pumps, the new range provides noticeably greater performance and these pumps are considerably quieter than comparable machines.”
