Central vacuum systems for packaging lines

cleaner, quieter and more efficient

Food manufacturers today are under considerable pressure: rising energy costs, stricter hygiene regulations, and high utilisation of their packaging lines for maximum efficiency. Non-centralised vacuum generation with many individual pumps often causes heat and oil mist near the production area, as well as unnecessary energy consumption and high maintenance costs.

 

With a central vacuum system from Becker, multiple packaging lines can be supplied efficiently, reliably, and hygienically via a shared vacuum network – with a clear ROI, reduced operating costs, and noticeably better process quality.

Centralised vacuum supply system for food production

Why centralised vacuum systems are indispensable in large food processing plants

In industrial production environments, whether for fresh products, dairies, or especially large slaughterhouses and cutting plants, vacuum is required in numerous process steps.   Centralised systems enable a stable, demand-oriented supply to all consumption devices via a common pipe network – regardless of peak loads or shift operation.

 

A centralised supply offers structural advantages:

 

Vacuum supply for primary packaging

 

Constant residual oxygen values, stable seal seams

Thermoformers | Tray sealers | Chamber machines | Skin & MAP packaging


Vacuum supply food safety

 

High product and food safety

Vacuum tumblers | Vacuum cutters | Vacuum fillers | Evisceration | Spinal cord removal


Operational safety of the vacuum supply

 

Higher occupational hygiene and operational safety

Cleaning and disposal systems | Air extraction on cutting lines or automatic shooting machines


The advantages of a Becker central vacuum system

Central vacuum systems have numerous advantages:

 

Central vacuum system energy savings

Up to 50 %
energy savings

A Becker central system utilises:
  • Load-oriented controls
  • Booster optimisation
  • Demand-based speed control (VSD)
  • Shutdown of individual modules in partial load operation

A centralised Becker vacuum system reduces energy consumption by up to 50% compared to decentralised individual pumps operating 24/7, which is the biggest factor in achieving savings compared to individual pumps.

Reduced maintenance costs for the central system
Significantly lower
maintenance costs
Instead of many units on the machines, central systems offer:
  • Fewer pumps overall
  • Central, easily accessible plant rooms
  • Predictable service intervals
  • Fewer unplanned downtimes

This means: Massively reduced TCO over the entire life cycle.

Reduced heat generation
Hygiene advantages and
less heat in production
  • No more pumps in the packaging hall
  • No oil mist, no unwanted heat, less noise emission
  • Pumps are located outside of hygiene-critical zones
  • Compliance with strict requirements (IFS, BRC, EU 852/2004)

Ensures clean, cool, and more pleasant working environments.

 

Process reliability thanks to the central system’s modular architecture

Maximum process reliability
and modular redundancy

Becker systems ensure supply through:

  • Modular design
  • Automatic switchover during peak loads
  • High availability in 24/7 operation
  • Redundancy concepts for critical lines

Uninterrupted production in the event of pump failure.

Central vacuum system for damp environments
For humid & proteinrich
process environments

Particularly in large slaughterhouses in particular are subject to:

  • Steam loads
  • High humidity
  • Particles & organic substances in the air

Becker systems are designed to meet these challenges reliably, efficiently, and with low maintenance:

 

  • oil‑lubricated rotary vane pumps for low, continuous pressures
  • Roots boosters for rapid pressure drops
  • intelligent condensate management
  • corrosion‑protected components
