Sustainable Vacuum Technology for Modern Production Processes
GREIF-VELOX presents its new dry-running pump, which enables energy savings up to 70%.
Energy and resource efficiency have become critical factors in modern industrial production—especially when handling ultra-light powders such as carbon black, silica, or color pigments. With the launch of its new dry-running pump, the German engineering company introduces a forward-looking vacuum solution that combines economic efficiency, sustainability, and operational reliability.
Up to 70% less energy consumption
Without Compromising Performance. Compared to conventional water ring pumps, the GREIF-VELOX dry-running pump reduces energy consumption by up to 70%, and even when compared to double diaphragm pumps, energy savings of over 50% are achievable. With a motor output of just 6.5 kW, the pump significantly reduces operating costs.
A practical example: With an annual operating time of 8,000 hours and an average consumption of only 2.6 kW, the system can save up to €12,800 in energy costs per year—for example, during the bagging of silica.
Dry Operation Instead of Water
Resource-Saving and Low Maintenance. Developed in collaboration with Busch Vacuum Solutions, the GREIF-VELOX dry-running pump operates using a dry claw mechanism—completely without water, lubricants, or cooling fluids. The result: minimal wear, significantly reduced maintenance, and zero water consumption.
Full control, user-friendly
The pump also features an intelligent HMI control panel that provides full visibility of all process parameters and automatically reports faults in real time, ensuring full control with simple, user-friendly operation.
Compact, Modular, Scalable: Greater Flexibility for Your System
The pump’s space-saving design allows for easy vertical stacking and seamless integration into existing VeloVac systems. Its decentralized vacuum generation reduces system complexity and leads to lower investment and operating costs.
Efficiency Meets Sustainability
Ready for the Industry of Tomorrow. With the new dry-running pump, GREIF-VELOX expands its portfolio with a high-performance, sustainable vacuum solution tailored to the needs of demanding powder packaging processes. The new pump is now available for all VeloVac systems.
