Vacuum pumps remove air and vapour from a closed volume to create negative pressure. In Gujarat’s chemical, plastic, and packaging sectors, reliable vacuum is as critical as positive compressed air.
AiroGen builds and tests dry vacuum solutions alongside compressors so customers get consistent performance from one accountable supplier.
Know your ultimate vacuum
Different processes need different vacuum levels. Specify mbar or torr with your manufacturer so pump speed and stage count match—not guesswork from catalogue names alone.
Contamination and compatibility
Process vapours, dust, and temperature affect seal life and lubrication strategy. Share your media and duty cycle early to avoid corrosion or premature wear.
Piping and leaks
Vacuum systems are sensitive to leaks. Use proper fittings, minimise hose length, and test joints after installation—small leaks destroy effective vacuum at the point of use.
Noise and placement
Like compressors, pumps need airflow and service access. Isolating vibration and routing exhaust safely keeps operators comfortable and compliant.
Maintenance windows
Schedule inspections during planned shutdowns. Tracking hours and vibration trends catches bearing or seal issues before they become production stops.
Integration with compressed air
Many plants run both air and vacuum. Coordinating controls, alarms, and spare parts with one OEM simplifies training and emergency response.
Documentation and training
Keep manuals, wiring diagrams, and recommended spare kits on site. A short operator briefing after commissioning reduces misuse and warranty disputes.
