NFPA 99 Compliance for Medical Vacuum Pumps
Medical vacuum pumps play an important role in hospitals and healthcare facilities as these specialized pieces of equipment generate and maintain a controlled source of vacuum that is used in procedures such as wound draining, surgeries and other patient care. Because they are used in patient treatment, medical vacuum pump designs must meet current safety […]
New Air Compressor Monitoring Technologies Provide Cost Savings
Possibly the hardest working piece of equipment in the facility, air compressors power the tools and processes necessary to keep production up and running. They do, however, require regular maintenance to ensure productivity and efficiency. Historically, service was conducted according to a preventive maintenance schedule (whether service was truly needed or not) or reactively following […]
Industrial Vacuum System: Discussing The Types and Benefits
Industrial vacuum systems offer a wide range of benefits for businesses and industries. They can help increase efficiency, save money, and improve safety. These systems are used in various settings, including manufacturing, processing, and packaging. They can be used to evacuate air and gas from tanks, pipes, and other vessels. Industrial vacuums can also improve […]
Why and How To Perform A Vacuum Audit
Vacuum holds material in place, gathers up solids and liquids, provides transport, and keeps chambers and enclosures free from gases that would affect process performance. It’s essential in many production operations and a system that’s performing badly will impact costs and quality. Regular vacuum audits provide insight into how a system is running and identify […]
How Medical Vacuums Can Optimize Equipment Sterilization
If you had to make a list of some of the most important practices taking place in any hospital or other healthcare environment, equipment sterilization would undoubtedly be right at the top. According to the Centers for Disease Control, sterilization is a very precise process that destroys all microorganisms on the surface of a piece […]
The Basics of Vacuum Technology
Air-powered or pneumatic vacuum technology is one of the most misunderstood technologies in automation. Since compressed air is one of the most widely available power sources within manufacturing industries, it’s easy to add vacuum to an operation. Using the venturi effect, air-powered vacuum is produced by forcing compressed air through a limiting orifice (nozzle). As […]
2021 Guide To Medical Vacuum Pumps
A medical vacuum pump is an industrial device that removes gases and liquids from enclosed spaces by using vacuum power. The goal for a pump is to create a flow of vacuum power. However, an equally important goal for these types of vacuum pumps is to mitigate any contamination from harming the patient or healthcare […]
What Is A Medical Vacuum Pump?
To answer the question of what a medical vacuum pump is, we first have to answer the question of what a regular vacuum pump is. A vacuum pump is an industrial device that removes gases and liquids from enclosed spaces. The purpose of this is to create a vacuum or to deliver a steady stream […]
