3 S-Serie Screw S-VSI 300 OXY for protective gas packaging Dry running screw vacuum pump offers important reductions in operating and maintenance costs Replacing air by protective gas (MAP) in food packaging extends shelf life and improves the visual presentation of food. The gases principally used for this purpose are carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen. Adding even small amounts of oxygen to air markedly speeds up combustion processes and can cause considerable damage to machinery and equipment. Elmo Rietschle has developed a dry running screw vacuum pump for packaging under protective gas which needs no coolant or sealing medium in the suction chamber. This pump is water-cooled; the heat generated is dissipated from the packaging room. Using this new screw vacuum oxygen pump offers important advantages over oil lubricated rotary vane pumps as you can keep the costs of ownership low. Typical maintenance costs for one year comparing rotary vane pumps (250 and 300 m³/h) and the Elmo Rietschle screw vacuum pump S-VSI 300 OXY in Rotary vane 250 m³/h Rotary vane 300 m³/h S-VSI 300 OXY Rotary vane pumps Cleaning suction filter Comprehensive logistics On-time delivery Quick response times Designed and manufactured in Germany S-VSI OXY TWISTER Maintenance work Changing oil (8 liters) Replacing oil filter Replacing oil separator element Screw S-VSI OXY TWISTER Cleaning suction filter Changing gear oil (1.9 liters) Electrical bill (20 hours/day for 240 days/year) Maintenance costs Maintenance intervals vary greatly depending on the degree of contamination.

9 F-Series Radial G-Series Side Channel L-Series Liquid Ring V-Series Rotary Vane R-Series Rotary Lobe C-Series Claw S-Series Screw Filling and closing machines When bottling drinks, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products, the recipient is frequently evacuated before being filled to ensure that the contents keep longer. Food to be canned is introduced through a tube into the chamber. Labelling In the labelling of containers made of glass, plastics or metal, vacuum pumps ensure the correct positioning of the labels during the cuttingout stage. Degassing water In the production of high quality drinks (mineral waters, fruit juices etc.) water must be used which was previously degassed under vacuum in suitable systems. Vacuum packaging Tray sealing machine From stacking to evacuating and capping prefabricated trays, all processes take place under vacuum. For most applications packaging under oxygen as the protective gas is the standard method. Forming machine During deep drawing processes, vacuum is needed in the sealing tool and in shaping the tray. Here again, the use of oxygen is an option. Chamber machine Classic initial packaging takes place in a chamber machine. All products are placed inside a bag by hand. In the next step they are manually inserted into the chamber machine and then sealed. Trim removal Edge trimmings and stamping waste are collected directly from the machine by an extractor fan (with waste container) or conveyed under vacuum over longer distances through a pipeline to a central collection point. Food processing Vacuum filler In a vacuum filling machine dough-shaped prepared foods such as meat, fish, cheese, bread, sausage etc. are separated into portions and packaged under vacuum. This improves homogenity and avoids air inclusions. Extended shelf life and excellent colour stability are further advantages. Vacuum tumbler In the vacuum tumbler, food cut into pieces such as meat, fish, salads, delicacies etc. is mixed with spices, worked and refined. Vacuum cutter The vacuum cutter is particularly suitable for the production of patés. Here again, the ingredients are mixed under vacuum in order to achieve a high degree of colour stability and homogeneity. Other applications Pick + place Freeze drying Pneumatic conveying

16 Air Supply for Applications in the Printing and Paper Industry

17 F-Series Radial G-Series Side Channel V-Series Rotary Vane C-Series Claw X-Series Systems Pre-Press Vacuum is required for a variety of applications in the pre-press area, such as preparing images and films for scanning or exposure and for copying printing plates. There are also many applications where over-pressure is needed as well, such as for guiding plates or film in automatic systems. Pre-Press Film fixing Plate copy equipment Printing plate processing Scanner Press In classic sheet fed offset presses, vacuum and pressure are always needed for paper handling at the feeder to separate the sheets, to feed the single sheets to the different color-aggregates or to guide the sheets through the machine. Presses / Press Components Drying aggregates Ionization aggregates Powder aggregates Rotary offset machines Sheet fed offset machines Post-Press Paper processing covers a large number of activities and applications most of which need vacuum or compressed air. The Elmo Rietschle product range is ideally suited here and our customers can take full advantage of the different technologies we supply. Typical examples are side channel blowers for folding and cutting machines, pressure-vacuum pumps and individual vacuum pumps and compressors for collating and book-binding machines or radial blowers for removing waste paper.

18 Air Supply Systems for the Printing Industry Centralized Systems Many processes in the printing industry require vacuum or pressure: printing, folding, collating, binding, trimming, packaging and labelling are typical applications. Although these happen in different places there is no need to operate individual vacuum pumps for every single production machine. Centralized vacuum systems generate the vacuum required for multiple applications, thus saving space in the production area and reducing employees exposure to noise and heat. Elmo Rietschle has been a trusted partner of all leading manufacturers of printing machines for many years. AIR CENTER Air Supply Cabinets The individual requirements in the printing and paper industry can be covered efficiently and economically by the Elmo Rietschle AIR CENTER compact cabinets that house the individual components (such as radial, side channel, claw and rotary vane vacuum pumps and compressors). Low noise level and operating temperatures are major characteristics.

21 X-Series Systems Vacuum and pressure for the glass industry WITTIG Rotary Vanes When producing the hollow glassware large volumes of compressed air and vacuum are required. High quality and reliability of all units and components is of prime importance, because equipment failure during production invariably means extremely high costs. For continuous 24-hour operation, rotary vane compressors and vacuum pumps offer the best solution. Compressed air is used to form the blanks in the production machines. A compressed air system is needed to control the various shaping devices and the general air supply of the factory. Rotary vane vacuum pumps are used to evacuate the glass moulds. This ensures high product quality and increasing the number of pieces per hour poses no problem. Keeping operating costs low is of prime importance. Rotary vane vacuum pumps are the only technology to deliver maximum availability. For higher volumes vacuum pumping stations are used. These two-stage systems consist of a rotary lobe and rotary vane vacuum pump and are used for the production of electric light bulbs and fluorescent tubes.

26 Vacuum and Pressure for Applications in the Plastics Industry

27 F-Series Radial G-Series Side Channel L-Series Liquid Ring V-Series Rotary Vane C-Series Claw S-Series Screw Calibration The thermoplastic molten tube leaving the machine is cooled and, if necessary, calibrated under press quenching with the help of vacuum pumps. Plastic welding The hot air that is needed for welding is heated to between 200 to 300 C using heating cartridges and is accelerated to a high velocity using a blower. EPS foaming Using a side channel blower, pre-expanded polystyrene balls are blown into a mold where steam is then applied. At final polymerization, the balls are cured into the molded component. To ensure that the molded components do not lose their shape when removed from the mold, they must be cooled with water. With the vacuum pumps, the water vaporizes in a flash. Extruder degasification Vacuum pumps remove air pockets and moisture from the melted plastic mass. They extract all of the low-molecule substances, ensuring optimal quality: smooth surfaces, greater strength, better insulation capabilities and a lower outgassing rate. Granulate conveying Plastic molding presses / extruders are automatically loaded with the help of our blowers or vacuum pumps. For this purpose, a vacuum is produced in the material container. The granulate is conveyed through the air in the tube. Contact-free plastic film redirection Continuous plastic sheets and films are redirected contact-free with air that is applied on turning bars. Vinyl chloride gas extraction and compression When the PVC is produced, liquid vinyl chloride is pressurized to polymerization in the autoclave and polymerized PVC is formed. The gaseous monomers that are produced as a result are pumped, compressed and liquefied under vacuum. Cooling & drying extruder products The hot plastic material that is discharged from the extruder must be cooled down quickly. This is done using blast air or by cooling the material in a water bath, followed by a drying process. Deaeration of rubber components / evacuation In production stations that manufacture rubber components, vacuum is used for evacuating from the die cast mold thereby preventing the formation of air pockets and accelerating the rubber mass. Gluing plastic parts In the production of glued composite materials, panels are secured to each other with an adhesive and pressed into a sheet. The sheet sack is evacuated for this purpose, so that the atmospheric pressure can produce the required compression.

28 Pumps and Compressors. Systematically. The wide range of applications in the plastics industry requires the use of complex support processes. Pneumatic conveying is a typical example where successful solutions can only be designed in close cooperation between our engineers and the customer. Energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, up-times, environmental compatibility and operating costs are only a few of the parameters that must be reconciled. The result of this joint decision-making process is a product or system that is optimal for your situation.

42 Vacuum and Pressure Solutions for Woodworking Applications

43 F-Series Radial G-Series Side Channel L-Series Liquid Ring V-Series Rotary Vane C-Series Claw S-Series Screw Holding & lifting Vacuum is used to clamp work pieces to the tables of machining tools. To ensure that the work piece cannot move during the machining process, a minimum vacuum level must be maintained or exceeded. Timber drying To speed the drying process, vacuum pumps are used to gradually lower the pressure within the timber drying chambers. Drying times may be cut from weeks to just three or four days. The chamber may be later pressurized with steam and the air removed to prevent the wood from cracking and changing color by oxidation. Radial fans may be used to circulate the steam which heats the wood to dry it. The condensate from the steam removes solvents, fatty acids plus other elements from the drying chamber as it is drained away. Impregnation Wood may be protected from the destructive influences of heat, moisture, insect and micro-organism attack. This protection may be applied either before or after the wood is processed into a finished item. Soaking the wood in preservative is a common practice, but preservative only penetrates a few millimeters under the surface of the wood. Further protection may be achieved when the wood is first de-gassed and dried under vacuum, because then the preservative is able to penetrate much further past the wood surface. Subsequent positive pressure in the treatment chamber will encourage even deeper protection. Extraction systems Wood dust and shavings from woodworking machines can be removed to bulk containers for recycling with mobile or central vacuum systems. Filters are used to trap the wood and separate it from the air, protecting the pumps from harm by contamination. Coating & bonding / veneering / form surface coating The fine quality surface finishes applied to some timber products may be achieved under vacuum conditions. Components may be formed, shaped, bonded and veneered in a vacuum bag or on a vacuum table. The labour, energy and material costs associated with these processes may be reduced, particularly where larger items are being processed.
