Industries

Whatever is your application, we can provide the correct vacuum solution.

We are the application experts

We know vacuum and we know industry. Many industries rely on a steady supply of vacuum for their production. From powering conveyor belts to packing finished products, vacuum is used in most production floors around the world. Critical industries like medical facilities, research and engineering laboratories have various applications that run on vacuum. In general manufacturing, vacuum is used in automated pick-and-place processes and in printing, vacuum helps move paper through presses. Vacuum is used in industries as diverse as woodworking and mining, glass bottle manufacturing and filling.

In Food industry vacuum is a huge part of the production process. Vacuum is used to bake, cure, evaporate, dry, cool and finally package foods including cheese, meat, ready meals and vegetables.

At Industrial Vacuum, we have a motto, 'whatever your application, we can provide a vacuum solution.'

Canning

Factories with canning lines cannot do without vacuum. Atlas Copco's GHS Oil-sealed rotary screw vacuum pumps can take large demands of vacuum and allow for centralized systems.

Woodworking

From the furniture in your kitchen to the doors in your home, the wooden products made by computer numerical control (CNC) are found everywhere — and they're impossible to craft without vacuum solutions.

Clay Degassing

Clay degassing, the process of removing trapped air and gases in clay, is crucial for the brick and tile manufacturing industry. Vacuum technology plays an important role in the processing and manufacture of tiles, bricks, and most ceramics. Vacuum pumps from Atlas Copco play an important role that facilitate the evacuation of these air bubbles and volatile gas compounds from the raw clay material.

Semiconductor manufacturing

The semiconductor and electronics industries are transforming our lives by enabling us to enjoy the comfort of new technologies and innovations. Smartphones, PCs, gaming devices, just to name a few are some of the most powerful and complex pieces of technology we use every day. The source of this complex technology is micro – a tiny microchip.

Plastic extrusion

Out of all the different stages that plastics and polymers undergo, extrusion is one of the most important. Extrusion is a stage where continuous plastic shapes can be created by melting and forcing the plastic material through an opening or cavity.

Sewage treatment

Sewage treatment plays a crucial role in maintaining public health and environmental safety by treating wastewater from various sources like homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.
