2BV series vacuum pump is capable of rapidly evacuating liquids and water vapor in both low-vacuum and high-vacuum environments, achieving a vacuum level of up to 97%. This technology is suitable for applications requiring high vacuum levels in industries such as petroleum, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, particularly in the food industry, where the pump integrates features such as hygiene, safety, energy efficiency, and high performance into every stage of the production process.
2BV series horizontal vacuum pump uses water as the sealing medium, eliminating the need for oil, thereby completely avoiding the risk of lubricant contamination of food. This is particularly important for foods such as fruit and vegetable chips, instant coffee, powdered milk, and tomato sauce, ensuring the highest levels of food safety and hygiene to meet international food production standards.
When applied to the food industry, the entire pump can be constructed using stainless steel materials, ensuring no cleaning dead zones inside the pump body and facilitating processes such as alkaline washing, acid washing, and steam sterilization. Additionally, the pump features a compact design and rational structure, making maintenance and servicing more convenient and efficient.
When the 2BV vacuum pump is applied to evaporation and concentration processes, it can provide a stable vacuum of 33–120 mbar, enabling materials such as fruit juice, tomato sauce, and whey protein to have a significant amount of moisture removed at low temperatures. Furthermore, the isothermal characteristic of the water ring vacuum pump ensures that the compression process does not cause temperature increases, thereby preserving the original flavor of the food and minimizing the loss of aromatic substances during evaporation. The 33 mbar vacuum of this vacuum pump meets the vacuum requirements for food processes such as evaporation, drying, degassing, immersion, and packaging. It can also maintain a stable vacuum level within a 0–80% load range, ensuring consistent food quality and maintaining the reputation of the food products.
Thanks to its variable frequency drive design, this pump is approximately 25% more energy-efficient than traditional vacuum pumps, effectively reducing production costs and improving economic efficiency. Additionally, to prevent production losses caused by unexpected shutdowns, the 2BV vacuum pump is equipped with built-in overload and overheat protection devices to ensure production safety.
