Applications of Vacuum Pumps in Industrial Vacuum Technology

The manufacture of pumps and systems follows high standards, helping deliver safe and reliable solutions that improve performance and keep processes running smoothly.

For more than a century, creating and controlling vacuum has played an important role in countless industrial production processes. This was true when vacuum equipment production began in 1939, and it remains true today.

In the 21st century, three major industrial fields where vacuum technology and equipment play an important role are metallurgy, coating and drying. In each area, vacuum pumps and abatement systems help improve cleanliness, intelligence and economy in production processes.

Metallurgy requires high levels of controlled vacuum for smelting, casting, surface coating, alloy production and metal assembly. Surface coating processes for architectural glass, optical lenses, solar panels, mobile phone bodies and automotive windshields rely on precise vacuum and emission-reduction technology.

Across many processes, from freeze drying of food and pharmaceuticals to drying power transformers before sealing and pipelines before commissioning, vacuum pump systems play a key role in creating the dry environment required.

The commitment to industrial vacuum equipment with lower environmental impact, smarter operation and lower ownership cost is reflected in the latest generation of industrial dry vacuum pumps.

As existing industrial processes develop and new processes emerge, vacuum and emission-reduction technologies will continue to advance, driving progress in pump functionality and implementation.
