VACUUM PUMPS AND COMPRESSORS FROM BECKER FOR ALL PROCESSES IN THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY

The applications and demands involved in the different processes of the plastics industry are as diverse as its products. There’s a strong demand for plastic parts in the aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries. Plastic CNC machines can produce large volumes of these lightweight and versatile parts, keeping tight tolerances and accurate dimensions. Because plastic is quick and easy to machine, it’s also ideal for prototyping. Whether in the production of new plastic components or the resource-friendly recycling of PET – vacuum pumps, vacuum plants and compressors from Becker are part of it. We offer a range of low-maintenance pumps, including 100% oil-less, dry vacuum pumps, deep vacuum oil-flooded pumps, and our Advantage-W multi-vacuum pumps.

What is the Cost of a Claw Vacuum Pump?

When evaluating vacuum pumps for your facility, cost is one of the first considerations that arises. Claw vacuum pumps are known for their efficiency, reliability, and minimal maintenance requirements, but what do they actually cost? The answer is more than just the price tag. To make the best investment, it’s...

In hospitals and healthcare facilities, reliability is non-negotiable. All systems must operate seamlessly around the clock, and vacuum systems are no exception. Historically, the medical industry relied on oil-lubricated or dry rotary vane vacuum pumps to meet these needs. But over time, hospitals have turned to claw pumps more frequently due to their minimal maintenance requirements and additional benefits. This blog will discuss why claw vacuum pumps are becoming the preferred solution in medical vacuum systems, with a special focus on their low-maintenance advantage.
