The Busch R5 KB 0020 D is a highly efficient, oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump engineered s pecifically for compact industrial applications. As part of the world-renowned R5 series, it represents the gold standard in reliability and performance, particularly in the demanding food processing and packaging sectors.
The KB 0020 D is designed for continuous operation and offers a balance of power and footprint:
Nominal Pumping Speed: 20 $m^3/h$ (at 50 Hz) and 24 $m^3/h$ (at 60 Hz).
Ultimate Pressure: 2.0 hPa (mbar).
Motor Rating: 0.75 kW, ensuring low energy consumption without sacrificing suction strength.
Noise Level: Operates quietly between 67–70 dB(A).
Weight & Dimensions: Extremely portable at approximately 19 kg, with a compact frame of roughly 342 x 274 x 208 mm.
The KB 0020 D shines in the vacuum packaging industry due to its s pecialized "KB" (compact) design. Its primary edge lies in its space-saving architecture; the motor is directly flange-mounted to the pump, significantly reducing the overall length and height. This makes it the ideal choice for integration into tabletop vacuum sealers, small-scale thermoforming machines, and tray sealers where internal cabinet space is a premium.
Furthermore, it features robust epoxy resin vanes that are highly resistant to the moisture and oil vapors commonly found in food packaging environments. Unlike standard pumps, the KB 0020 D is optimized for fast cycle times, allowing packaging machines to reach ultimate vacuum quickly and maintain high throughput. Its advanced oil separation system ensures that the exhaust air is 99.9% oil-free, maintaining a hygienic production environment.
