New pump fills production vacuum

Vacuum pump manufacturer Busch (UK) has supplied a new Busch R 5 pump, model RA 630 for an existing centralised vacuum system at Cranswick Convenience Foods' Milton Keynes DeliCo site. It has been installed alongside 10 existing R 5s as the facility is expanding to meet increased production capacity.

Cranswick DeliCo processes sliced meat products for some of the UK's leading multiple retailers, as well as the foodservice sector and other food manufacturers.

Stuart Mayhew, engineering manager at Cranswick DeliCo, says: "We've been very happy with the performance of the R 5 centralised vacuum system. Busch engineers worked closely with our team to provide us with an efficient and effective solution and an overall smooth running and trouble-free project."

The Busch R 5 is an oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump, which was designed for continuous use in numerous applications. Sturdy in design and reliable, R 5's rotary vane technology is tried and tested and has been used in many different manufacturing applications. Its compact design makes it easy to maintain and service, while being ideal for use in situations where space is limited.

Described as being environmentally friendly, other key features include air cooling, internal oil recirculation, integral oil mist separator for oil-free exhaust air, low vibration and low noise level.
