Vacuum Pump:
Vacuum, the invisible force, is indispensable in industrial production facilities around the world. When an industrial application requires a clean environment or pressure below atmospheric levels, a steady supply of vacuum is needed. From food packaging, electronics, glass bottle and can production, paper printing, toothpaste degassing, automotive parts handling, pharmaceuticals conveying, plastic extrusion, woodworking, brick and clay manufacture, to almost all general manufacturing, utility vacuum is everywhere.
At Atlas Copco, our business is propelled by the drive to make processes run more effectively by understanding the needs of the industries we serve. Whatever the application, we provide the vacuum solution., As the leading innovator in the industrial vacuum market, we have continued focus on energy efficiency that translates into savings for our customers.
Our products are the starting point to providing a total vacuum solution for dedicated point-of-use machines and central vacuum systems. A pump is a device that will induce pressure difference between two regions of space. A vacuum pump removes gas/air from a sealed volume and thus leaves behind a partial vacuum. Gas molecules must be moved to create a vacuum. When there is a difference in pressure between two regions the molecules will move. Vacuum pumps are used in a wide variety of industries and applications. Here at Atlas Copco we continue to make improvements to our state-of-the-art vacuum pumps to ensure you receive the most suitable solution.
The first person to demonstrate the force of vacuum was a German called Otto Von Guericke in the mid-17th century. He realized that by removing the gas from the space between two hemispheres, the net forces of the surrounding air pressure would hold those hemispheres together. Modern vacuum pumps for industrial applications work on similar principles. They primarily remove air or gas molecules from areas of lower gas density at the inlet to areas of higher gas density at the exhaust.
