The GHS VSD+ signalled a "quantum leap" in vacuum pump technology with ROI's of under a year possible said Atlas Copco.
The energy gains are achieved via VSD technology that allows vacuum generation requirements to be more closely matched to demand.
An innovative motor design and inlet control valve also bolster energy efficiency according to Atlas Copco.
Dirk Ville, General Manager of Atlas Copco Compressors UK said: "With clear synergies between compressed air and vacuum, which represent the 'Yin' and 'Yang' of air movement, Atlas Copco has been able to use its advanced compressor technology experience to design the GHS VSD+, leading to a breakthrough in energy efficiency, capable of dramatically reducing UK manufacturers' lifecycle costs.
"Approximately three-quarters of companies who use rough vacuum require oil-injected pumps, which are traditionally fixed-speed, so the potential for energy savings across UK industry is massive."
The GHS VSD+ range also offers 50% reductions in operating noise levels according to Atlas Copco. The "whispering" running volume of 51 dB(A) means the pump can be placed alongside operators without causing a disturbance, Atlas Copco added.
And the GHS VSD+ range features an Elektronikon monitoring service that can integrate the pumps with the plant management system with the opportunity for further energy savings.
