Busch R 5 PLUS rotary vane vacuum pump

Busch R 5 PLUS rotary vane vacuum pump

The Busch R 5 PLUS rotary vane vacuum pump can run with pressure control or at a constant speed. Acting either as the sole vacuum pump in a packaging machine or as a vacuum module in a central vacuum supply, the pump ensures a specified pumping speed is maintained and sustains the required vacuum level, regardless of packaging volume changes. All operating data is recorded and saved, and can be accessed directly on the built-in display or transferred via a Modbus TCP/IP client/server protocol. Remote control of the vacuum pump via a computer is possible.
