Busch has launched a completely revamped new generation of rotary vane vacuum pumps in the R 5 series.Three pump sizes with a suction capacity of 10, 16 or 21 cubic metres per hour produce an ultimatepressure of 0.5, 1 or 20 hPa (mbar), depending on the version. All sizes and versions offer stableperformance characteristics, i.e. a high suction capacity is guaranteed even in the working pressurerange. Thanks to their extremely compact design, these vacuum pumps are suitable for an installationin very confined spaces. A standard non-return valve in the suction pipe prevents ventilation of therecipient if the vacuum pump is turned off. The new R 5 rotary vane vacuum pumps are each driven bydirectly flanged standard motors. The main fields of application are vacuum packing machines, foodprocessing machines, transportation and lifting devices and the plastics industry. Busch R 5 rotary vane vacuum pumps are available with a large range of volume flow rates from 6 to1,600 cubic metres per hour. The proven vane principle has been standard in numerous industrialsectors for many years. R 5 rotary vane vacuum pumps are very rugged, operationally reliable and havea high maximum tolerable water vapour inlet pressure thanks to the integrated oil circuit. All R 5vacuum pumps are equipped with an oil separator as standard. This is fitted with air de-oilingelements that were especially developed for these vacuum pumps. This guarantees clean exhaust air.
