Atlas Copco Vacuum Pump Implementation for Packaging Machines

This technical report details the implementation of the GHS 1402 VSD+ oil-injected screw vacuum pump by Atlas Copco in food packaging machines. The report outlines the challenges faced by an Italian customer in the food packaging sector, specifically the need for increased productivity and faster cycle times for their larger vacuum packaging machines. The partnership with Atlas Copco aimed to address these challenges by integrating a vacuum pump that could enhance operational efficiency. The report explains how the GHS VSD+ pump, equipped with advanced features such as a permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor and Variable Speed Drive (VSD), contributed to achieving better packaging speeds and cycle times. Additionally, the intelligent HEX@TM controller provided real-time monitoring and control capabilities. The successful integration of the vacuum pump not only met the customer's production expectations but also established a foundation for a long-term partnership focused on improving food packaging efficiency and quality.
