Packaging

Operating principle and use

Vacuum packing consists of removing the air from a package to protect and preserve its contents: food, household and industrial products, etc. Particularly effective for food preservation, Vacuum technology is now also used in the restaurant industry for certain types of cooking. With flexible packaging shapes, it allows the volume of the contents and packaging to be reduced.

Distillation

Operating principle and use

Distillation is commonly used to separate the components of a liquid mixture. As the liquid components have different boiling points, they evaporate under different operating conditions. And can be removed and recovered successively.

Evisceration

Operating principle and use

a Vacuum is used to remove non-edible parts from poultry, and Vacuum solutions separate waste and require no manual intervention by an operator, contributing to safer and more hygienic working conditions. In addition, our Vacuum systems allow operators to increase productivity and reduce energy consumption with little or no pollution.

Priming of centrifugal pumps

Operating principle and use

These systems work in conjunction with centrifugal pumps to transport water (or other liquid) from point A to point B. Centrifugal pumps, although effective in pumping liquid, are unable to pump air. This means that when the pumps are taken offline for maintenance or other reasons, they must be refilled with liquid before they work properly. And that's where the Vacuum priming system comes in, which is used to draw water into the pump so that it can start.

Degassing

Operating principle and use

In order to improve the quality of the final product, gases, vapours and moisture are extracted from the processed material under Vacuum.

One example is the degassing of plastics during the extrusion process: moisture in the form of vapour and gases caused during the melting process are extracted directly from the screw area of the extruder, which considerably improves the structure and physical properties of the product.

Handling / Holding

Operating principle and use

Vacuum lifters are used for gripping parts of all capacities, whether they are made of PVC, steel or concrete. Vacuum lifting is fast and safe, thanks to a suction cup system that supports both heavy loads and fragile materials. The technique of handling by suction cup consists of creating a Vacuum in the space between the suction cup and the product. Reducing this pressure creates a suction force capable of lifting 10 tonnes for every 1 m2 of surface covered by the suction cup. Thanks to this physical phenomenon, handling with suction cups allows effortless, quick and safe handling of large or complex objects.
