Vacuum pump for tabletop chamber machines

Maximum performance with minimum installation height

How can high evacuation performance be accommodated in extremely compact housings?

Tabletop chamber machines in the food industry are often optimised for minimum installation space, whether due to ergonomic requirements, mobile applications, or limited work surfaces in production environments. This is precisely where the design conflict arises: increasing expectations for shorter cycle times and higher packaging performance clash with extremely reduced installation heights, narrow housing designs, and strict thermal constraints.

While machine performance depends largely on the evacuation time of the vacuum pump, the compact design often limits the use of classic pump types. Design engineers are therefore faced not only with the question of what performance is required, but also:

Which pump delivers the required pumping speed despite the maximum installation size?
How can a robust, service-friendly solution be integrated without redesigning the machine layout?
How can acoustic and thermal requirements be met when there is hardly any space for additional measurements?

Table-top packaging machine for food

High performance and short cycle times must fit into a housing that often allows no more than 160 mm of installation height.

With the O5 series and the U 5.40, Becker offers the industry’s flattest vacuum pump platform in the 4 to 40 m³/h range – specifically designed for the requirements of modern tabletop packaging machines.

Unique: The Becker U 5.40

It is the flattest oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump on the market that delivers 40 m³/h, making it a clear competitive advantage for compact food packaging machines.

→ Perfect for new designs or redesigns of modern tabletop chamber machines.

The O5 series: Uniform portfolio, compact design, maximum flexibility

The entire O5 series was developed for tight installation spaces and space-limited tabletop machines. Advantages for OEMs' design and purchasing departments of the O5 series from Becker are:

Super-flat design – flat construction throughout

A maximum height of 160 mm across the entire range
Optimal integration into tabletop devices
Ideal for limited footprints and low housings

Performance range 4–25 m³/h

A single product range portfolio covers all common designs for tabletop chamber machines – ideal for OEM standardisation.

Quiet operation – better working conditions

The noise emissions of the O5 series have been specifically optimised. The result is quieter operation, less vibration, and therefore a more pleasant working environment in food processing. This is an important differentiating feature for manufacturers who value ergonomics and the best conditions for their workforce.

Three oil tank sizes (300 ml / 500 ml / 1 liter)

offer maximum flexibility in use:

Maintenance intervals can be tailored specifically to the end customer’s usage profile.
Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) thanks to predictable and needs-based service cycles.

The Becker U 5.40 achieves machine cycles that are up to 177% faster than the market standard.

The optimised evacuation characteristics of the U 5.40 enable significantly reduced evacuation times.

Result:

Up to 177% faster compared to the market standard
Shorter cycle times
Higher productivity per machine

This makes the vacuum pump itself a unique selling point for the end customers.

Ideal for: Tabletop chamber machines in food packaging

Despite their compact design, tabletop chamber machines must deliver reliable, consistent packaging results, regardless of whether meat, cheese, fish, or delicatessen products are being processed. The requirements for hygiene, process reliability, and short cycle times are constantly increasing, while the available installation space in modern machines continues to decrease.

The O6/O5 series and the U 5.40 are specially designed for:

Tabletop chamber machines / tabletop vacuum packaging machines
Compact food packaging machines with a limited footprint
Applications with strict requirements for evacuation time, cycle performance, and ease of service

OEMs that require a flat, standardised pump portfolio between 4 to 40 m³/h
Machine concepts where maximum reliability and low noise emissions are key selling points
