Innovative design enables a plug-and-play installation and operation

Leybold VACUBE, intelligent single stage oil-sealed screw vacuum pumps are a turnkey solution for industrial applications with frequency converter to generate vacuum on demand. The VACUBE includes an intelligent controller for remote connectivity. The system offers superior performance for a wide range of rough vacuum applications including Central vacuum applications.

Leybold VACUBE oil sealed screw pump technology with frequency-controlled speed adjustment offers long system service life, optimized energy consumption and a minimal footprint. Central vacuum systems with VACUBE deliver optimized performance and energy savings. They are controlled by advanced controllers that network with each other. The VACUBE systems cover a wide range of applications in the field of central factory vacuum supply.

A broad range of variants available for your application

i - Ideal for standard low-vapor applications as needed in central vacuum systems.

iH - Best suited for applications with higher water vapor ingress, for e.g. Humid applications.

iC - Specifically designed to support the special needs in short cycling applications.

iCH – A combination of iH and iC offers high water vapor tolerance and short cycling ability.

Our Solution

Plug and pump

Each VACUBE comes as a complete package with all the required components inside:

Inlet valve
Inlet filter
Inlet vacuum sensor
Screw pump module
Pump temperature sensors
Electrical cabinet with PLC
Box-shaped cubicle for tidiness and sound insulation

Improve your energy efficiency

Each VACUBE can be programmed to pump “just what you need” on your process. This generates big energy savings compared to fixed-speed pumps running all the time
The built-in PLC allows you to program calendar days and hours of production, to run the pump only when required

Extended uptime

Integrated temperature management by the internal PLC means the pump oil suffers less than on fixed-speed pumps. Combined with high-quality oil and filters, we can push back level 1 maintenance up to 4000 running hours.
Optimizing running hours with the PLC allows you to back preventive maintenance intervals

IoT Ready

The integrated PLC of the VACUBE can communicate with your field buses.
We can also help you connect your VACUBE to your Ethernet LAN
We can also offer Cloud remote connectivity and services on VACUBE
