Vacuum solutions for food processing and packaging

The global food production, processing and packaging industry has an incredibly important and challenging responsibility - feeding billions of people around the world. The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted this reality, but the primary role of the food industry has always been to provide consumers with a safe, stable and affordable food supply.

One of the most impactful and controllable aspects for food production industry to remain competitive is the way in which they utilize their equipment. Food processing and packing lines such as thermoformers, rotary packers, tumblers etc. are often equipped with vacuum pumps for improved shelf life, ease of processing and improved product quality.

Vacuum systems are critical to food processing and packaging, especially when it comes to food safety. Optimized vacuum pumps can maximize your production and minimize your maintenance and downtime. Faulty, outdated and inefficient vacuum can cause slower cycle times and maintenance-related downtimes. This can, in turn, have a direct negative impact on profitability.

Innovative Leybold vacuum solutions focus on optimizing your food production lines:

NOVADRY

Our NOVADRY not only improves food safety with its 100% oil-free operation but also provides longer uptime thanks to its robustness over oil sealed pumps in challenging processes such as tumbling or stuffing of meats.

Dry screw technology -> Very robust in harsh applications
100% oil free -> Improved food safety
Air cooling -> Quick & easy installation
Minimal maintenance requirement -> Low total cost of ownership
Released for MAP with oxygen -> Suitable for red meat packaging with high O₂

NOVADRY

DRYVAC

Our DRYVAC range is a compact, water-cooled and silent dry screw pump that can be installed in close proximity of your production line, increasing your packaging performance. With a hygienic design, you can washdown our pumps along with your other production equipment.

Dry screw technology -> Very robust in harsh applications
Clean vacuum -> Improved food safety
Extremely compact -> Easy to install on the line
