Typical examples include bag packaging equipment, where vacuum is often used to open, hold and close bags in filling machines. It is also used extensively to rapidly fill containers on automated filling lines, where vacuum filling helps to maintain line speed and can also help prevent spills and overfills that can necessitate line stoppages.
The Gast Group’s rotary vane air compressor and vacuum pumps provide a long, very low maintenance life; are simple and economical to install and operate; and the low vibration design means that the range is ultra-quiet in operation.
