Often
the first thing that comes to mind when we think about the vacuum is outer space. Space is a vacuum because there is no air, no
atmosphere. Looking at an image of the Earth from a distance we can see how the gravity of the planet holds the atmosphere - a band of air
close to its surface, beyond that there is nothing.
What we should be asking is - What is pressure? You can compare the Earth's atmosphere to a pool of water. Just as with a pool as you go
deeper the pressure gets higher and that's because the pressure is related to the weight of air above you. Because the earth is round
there is always a fixed depth of atmosphere down to sea level and that leads to our concept of a fixed atmospheric pressure that is the
depth of atmosphere down to this point.
If we could run a tube up to space the pressure at the bottom would be the head or height of all the gas in the tube and it equates to
about 1 kg/cm² surface area. When we speak a vacuum what we normally mean is less pressure than that - lower pressure then we experience
at the surface of the earth, less pressure than atmospheric pressure.
Energy efficient vacuum solutions for industrial applications
Vacuum, the invisible force, is indispensable in industrial production facilities around the world. When an industrial application requires a
clean environment or pressure below atmospheric levels, a steady supply of vacuum is needed. Our vacuum products are the starting point to
providing a total vacuum solution for dedicated point-of-use machines and central vacuum systems.
Vacuum solutions for every application
From food packaging, electronics, glass bottle and can production, paper printing, toothpaste degassing, automotive parts handling,
pharmaceuticals conveying, plastic extrusion, woodworking, brick and clay manufacture, to almost all general manufacturing, utility vacuum
is used across industries in multiple applications. As the leading innovator in the industrial vacuum market, we have continued focus on
energy efficiency that translates into savings for our customers. Whatever the application, we provide the apt vacuum solution.

The Ash Air range of rotary claw vacuum pumps is the best alternative to rotary vane pumps. A vacuum claw pump is virtually zero maintenance and compared to rotary vane pumps can work at vacuum levels of 400 to 1000 mbar without overheating. Rotary claw vacuum pumps are the best choice for CNC guided wood routers.
The Ash Air range of humble liquid ring pumps is still the most reliable form of large volume vacuum generation available today. These liquid ring pumps are simple to use and very reliable, and the best option when sucked air contains a large amount of saturated gas.
Dry and oil-sealed vane vacuum pumps are robust, affordable and easy in maintenance. You can use DVP vane pumps for wide range of application, for skin packaging, holding, lifting, thermoforming.
