LEMA 25 Vacuum Pump

• Used in vacuum packaging to remove air from packages, extending product shelf life.
• Integral to modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) systems for various food products.
• Commonly employed in vacuum tumbling and marinating processes for meats and poultry.
• Utilised for de-aeration in food processing, such as removing air from chocolate or sauces.
• Essential for creating a vacuum seal in industrial food processing lines.

Typical vacuum flow rate

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from 25 to 60 m³/h.

Ultimate vacuum level

Units of this type typically achieve an ultimate vacuum of 0.5 to 5 mbar (absolute).

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase industrial power supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is required.
