Centralised equipment
Pumps can be grouped in a service area, improving access and reducing equipment beside production machines.
APPLICATIONS · CENTRAL VACUUM
One managed vacuum source for multiple consumers.
A central station is engineered around simultaneous demand, vacuum zones, network pressure loss, duty/standby philosophy and the operating pattern of every connected machine.
CENTRAL VACUUMGeneration + distribution + controlOne coordinated system
SYSTEM OBJECTIVE
Deliver stable vacuum where and when the plant needs it.
Adding the nameplate capacities of all machines usually overstates demand, while ignoring simultaneous use and network loss risks undersizing. A central system uses a load profile and hydraulic network calculation.
Capacity management
Multiple pump modules can stage on and off as plant demand changes.
Duty/standby continuity
Redundancy and automatic sequencing can be configured around the required availability.
Vacuum zones
Different pressure levels and consumer groups can be separated into controlled distribution zones.
DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
The pipework is part of the vacuum system.
Main diameter, branch sizing, distance, fittings, isolation and receiver volume all influence pressure at the point of use.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SYSTEM
Build the station from the plant load profile.
Four data groups define generation, storage, distribution and control.
Talk to Our Technical TeamConsumer inventory
List each machine's pressure, capacity, cycle time and connection size.
Simultaneous demand
Define which consumers can operate together and how demand changes by shift or production mode.
Network layout
Provide pipe lengths, elevations, proposed zones and the furthest or most critical consumers.
Availability and control
Set duty/standby philosophy, receiver capacity, sequencing, alarms and maintenance isolation.

Published family ranges are indicative. Final selection must be checked at the actual operating pressure, gas or material load, temperature, duty cycle and installation conditions.
APPLICATION ENGINEERING
The vacuum source is one part of the complete system.
Reliable performance depends on the pump or blower, protection equipment, line arrangement, controls and the real process operating point.
Operating point
Capacity and pressure are checked together at the actual inlet conditions and duty cycle.
Share Operating DataProtection equipment
Filters, separators, condensers, receivers and valves are selected around moisture, particles, liquid carry-over and process risk.
Review the Process LoadSystem integration
Pipework, controls, isolation, accessibility and redundancy are included in the final system architecture.
