Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum is supplying the Food Processing Industry with advanced vacuum solutions.
Apart from applications in food packaging, other food applications including vacuum baking and freeze drying are gaining more and more momentum, now requiring increased focus on fast and energetically effective vacuum solutions that are replacing aging and high-maintenance equipment at older food processing plants.
Beginning in 2015, Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum received a larger order from a Swiss equipment manufacturer. The company is a world leader in food technology and developed various methods of food processing under vacuum, providing substantial improvements in product and process quality. The pump models made by Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum will be implemented in the freeze drying system of a German supplier who produces twenty tons of instant coffee powder per day.
Modern vacuum pumps with their very compact design, high efficiency and the possibility to use an external frequency converter such as the RUVAC WH series match the requirements of the customer to an extremely high degree. These pumps can be integrated, for example, in a current freeze drying system leading to a considerable savings on energy cost. At the same time these pumps delivers a higher pumping speed which will give the customer a much needed upgrade in their production with in-creased flexibility.
