Achieve energy efficiency with Variable Speed Drive (VSD)
Industrial Vacuum Pumps are widely used across various industries worldwide. However, generating a vacuum comes with a significant cost - primarily in terms of energy. In fact, energy costs make up the largest portion of the total cost of ownership of a vacuum pump.

The good news is that there are opportunities to minimize these costs. By running a vacuum pump as a Variable Speed Pump, you can potentially save up to 50% of energy. Additionally, optimizing the vacuum system to detect and fix any leakages, and ensuring it operates at the required operating point, can further prevent energy wastage.
But there's another opportunity that often goes unnoticed. When generating a vacuum, air needs to be compressed, and this compression process generates a substantial amount of heat. Unfortunately, this heat is typically dissipated into the environment. Why let this valuable heat go to waste when it can be utilized for other processes or purposes? By redirecting the hot cooling air flow to areas that require heating, such as production halls or other buildings, a significant portion of the generated heat can be recovered.
