Vacuum helps filling Capri Sun production packs
The distinctive Capri Sun 200ml silver squeezy pouches are a winner with the public, but pose quite a challenge on the production line: Rietschle Thomas was responsible for the vacuum system
Until now design engineers often had to use oversized rotary vane pumps because smaller versions were not available.
Now the VTF 1.5 series saves costs, space, weight, and energy costs.
With the VTF 1.5 Rietschle Thomas engineers integrated technologies of two different pump series.
The new pump can be installed and maintained without setting changes and adjustments.
With the rotor fixed to the motor shaft, pressures of 1.0 bar and vacuum of 150 mbar (abs) are achievable in continuous operation.
The new rotary vane pump is available in vacuum (VTF 1.5) or pressure (DTF 1.5) versions.
The outlet of the vacuum version is via a sound reducing injection moulded nipple.
Typical applications for the VTF 1.5 series are automation/pick and place, lifting and vacuum clamping technology, construction and massage devices.
