Proseal Vacuum Pump

• Used in food packaging lines, particularly with tray sealing machines to create modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).
• Suitable for general industrial vacuum applications requiring reliable air evacuation.
• Can be integrated into various processing systems where a controlled vacuum environment is necessary.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from 40 to 160 m³/hr, depending on the specific model and application.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power.

Vacuum level

Proseal vacuum pumps are designed to achieve deep vacuum levels, often down to 0.5 mbar (absolute) or lower, suitable for MAP.

Footprint

Dimensions vary by capacity, but typically these are compact, self-contained units designed for integration into existing lines.

Maintenance

Regular oil changes and filter replacements are typically required to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Cooling

Many industrial vacuum pumps utilise air cooling, though some larger units may incorporate water cooling systems.

• What is the primary function of a Proseal Vacuum Pump?

  Its primary function is to remove air from packaging, particularly in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) applications, to extend product shelf life and maintain quality.

• Can this pump be used with other brands of tray sealers?

• What type of maintenance is typically required for a used vacuum pump?

• How important is the motor's power rating?

• What should I check when buying a used vacuum pump?

Vacuum pumps and systems are considered reliable workhorses in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically value robust construction and consistent performance over extended service life. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting seals, gaskets and pump heads for wear is advisable, as these components determine longevity. Industry feedback suggests mechanical durability and energy efficiency as key strengths. Maintenance history and original manufacturer specifications prove important for ensuring compatibility with existing processes and regulatory compliance.
