pressure blower manufacturer Busch (UK) Limited will be highlighting its highly successful R 5 rotary vane vacuum pump, as well as its range of innovative after sales and service products at this year’s Foodex.With its proven technology and designed for continuous use, the R 5 is described by Busch as the pump of choice for the food and beverage sector.
One of the latest additions to the range that will be on show is the R 5 0155 A, which offers increased energy efficiency with reduced power requirements and a compact design. The vacuum pump has been developed to create a new generation of the R 5 range to meet the ever changing needs of the customer.
Particularly suitable for food packaging applications, the R 5 0155 A provides optimised pumping speeds at low end pressures, which enables faster pump-down times and thereby achieves shorter packing cycles.
While continuing to feature the renowned reliability and robustness of the R 5 range, the R 5 0155 A offers a pumping speed of 150 cubic metres per hour (at 50 Hz) and an ultimate end pressure of 0.1 mbar, making it ideal for continuous operation.
Complete oil separation and maximum performance is achieved with new, specially developed Busch exhaust filters as well as hard-wearing vanes which are manufactured from composite materials. High permeability exhaust filters are optimised for the new pump, which enables the high pumping speeds to be reached.
One of the key benefits of the R 5 series is that a minimal amount of maintenance is required and this is usually limited to oil changes and the replacement of filters at periodic service intervals. An optional gas ballast valve enables the pumping of humid air so that damp and wet foods can be safely and reliably packaged.
Mark Sumnall, sales director for Busch (UK) Limited, said: “Visitors to our stand will be able to come along and see the R 5 for themselves. With its rotary vane technology, it has an excellent reputation having been proven in the food sector for many years. We have an extensive range and are able to offer a model for virtually any application for the provision of efficient, continuous operation with the added benefit of easy service and maintenance.”
Those visiting the Busch stand will also be able to find out more about the many after sales products available from the company, which include comprehensive service contracts to on site audits to help customers ensure their production facilities operate at maximum efficiency and profitability.
Mark Yates, after sales director for Busch (UK) Limited, said: “We offer a series of innovative after sales products for vacuum customers with different requirements and wide reaching applications in the food sector. Wherever possible, we adopt a creative approach to delivering a flexible and efficient service that will meet the individual needs of our customers.
“We look forward to meeting up with existing and new customers and discussing their requirements at this year’s Foodex.”
