Vacuum technology for cleaning industrial parts
Busch’s COBRA is fast becoming the standard vacuum solution for industrial cleaning after attracting a broad expert audience at this year’s Parts2Clean tradeshow. The COBRA is a dry screw vacuum pump and is used in industrial cleaning machines to dry the cleaned parts - quickly and reliably.
Thanks to its dry running screw technique the COBRA boasts several advantages over ordinary, oil-lubricated vacuum pumps in this application: High suction capacity with a low ultimate pressure, maintenance friendly, low energy consumption und high operating safety. Those were certainly some of the reasons that made COBRA one of the more noticed and talked about exponents of this year’s Parts2Clean.

Media report: Operating safety in vacuum generation with BuschBusch vacuum pumps are at the centre of a report in the current issue of the journal JOT (Journal für Oberflächentechnik). The report mentions a manufacturer of coating technology solutions which has increased its operating safety through use of vacuum pumps from Busch.
Since Trendelburg-based BlueTec have been relying on Busch's dry-running Cobra pumps for pre-vacuum generation, sediments within the vacuum pump are a thing of the past. As a result the risk of production losses caused by faults in vacuum generation is substantially reduced. The positive experiences led to the fitting of a second production plant with Cobra vacuum pumps from Busch. Under marketing@busch.de you can request a free copy of the article.

Professional Training „Made in Germany“The mayor of Virginia Beach, William D. Sessoms, visited the Busch company in Maulburg with a delegation of local business developers for the second time. Busch is a big employer in Virginia Beach and maintains a big production plant for vacuum pumps. Sessoms plans to start an apprenticeship initiative for professions in the metal industry and wants to cooperate with Busch on this project.
The dual educational system in Germany which combines apprenticeships in a company and vocational education at a vocational school in one course is completely unknown in the USA. In the US professional qualifications are rare and reserved to a few dedicated professions. As a consequence modern factories in the metalworking industry – like Busch Manufacturing LLC – struggle to find qualified staff.
The visit gave the mayor and his delegation the chance to experience first hand how the dual system in organized at Busch.
The host Dr. Karl Busch told his visitors that he welcomed and supported the apprenticeship initiative. He emphasized that the profound professional training provided at his Maulburg plant made it relatively easy to have qualified staff and grow know-how. In the US on the other hand he had to rely on inhouse-training to make up for the missing basic knowledge of staff.

Energy savings with new vacuum technologyThe latest edition of the German trade journal 'Allgemeine Papier-Rundschau' reports on the use of Busch Mink vacuum pumps in the manufacture of corrugated cardboard. A corrugated cardboard manufacturer has replaced its vacuum pumps, originally used for handling cardboard cut-outs, with Mink pumps. Due to the state-of-the-art claw technology, Mink pumps work very economically. As a result, this corrugated cardboard manufacturer has been able to realise energy cost savings of €13,000. As they are free from maintenance and wear, Mink claw vacuum pumps enable further massive savings on operating costs, due to the elimination of costs for spare parts and maintenance. In addition, the noise level is reduced by half. A pdf of this article can be requested from info@busch.de.

Long-service awards at BuschThirty employees of Busch Vacuum Pumps and System have received awards in recognition of their many years of service. Six of them have now been with Busch for 25 years. It is the end of a record year, as Busch has manufactured more vacuum pumps than ever before. The Busch family and the managing director thanked all employees for their sterling efforts and the contribution they have made towards the success of the company.
The employees, particularly those receiving the awards, were the focal point of the Busch Christmas party. The long-service employees were also guests at a separate event and dinner in their honour. This year would not have been so successful were it not for these dependable and responsible employees. In a summary of the development of the international Maulburg-based company, the Busch family looked back on the highlights of 2010. In May, for instance, a company was formed to produce a newly developed machine. The medium term plan is to create around 100 new jobs. Just a few weeks ago, Busch officially opened its new, modern premises in South Korea, from where vacuum applications, in some cases consisting of components from Maulburg, will be offered to the South Korean market. China has meanwhile become an important outlet for the Maulburg-based vacuum pump manufacturer, and the constant demand across the world is also creating more jobs in Maulburg.
Both the Busch family and the managing director stressed that this success is due, among other factors, to the efforts of the employees in Maulburg.
The concept of a family-owned company embraces all our employees, who work together and support each other as a family across the world to contribute towards the company's success. The experience of our long-service employees is an important factor, as it is this experience that is now being passed on to new colleagues and new Busch companies. We at Busch are therefore proud that we are able to honour such a large number of experienced staff from all departments for their many years of employment with the company.

VIP visit from VirginiaThe excellent international relations of the Maulburg-based company Busch were demonstrated again this week: the Mayor of Virginia Beach in the US state of Virginia and a group of representatives visited the vacuum technology specialists based in Maulburg, which also runs a large production site in Virginia Beach.
Mayor Will Sessoms and his wife, Beverly, the Director of Economic Management Warren Harris and Robert Ruhl, Business Development and Marketing Manager in Virginia Beach, spent a whole day in Maulburg. The visitors discussed the possibilities for future business developments and investments and also enjoyed a guided tour of the production site at the Busch headquarters. Busch has operated a production site and a sales company in Virginia Beach since as early as 1975, where vacuum pumps and systems are manufactured for the North American and to some extent also the Pacific region.
Virginia Beach is located right on the east coast of the USA, about 350 kilometres south of Washington D.C. With 438,000 inhabitants, it is the largest city in Virginia. Apart from tourism – the city has a 45 kilometre-long sand beach – there are also many industrial businesses. The well-known German companies Stihl, Bosch and also Busch have their main US plants in Virginia Beach. Busch has been nurturing its links with the regional politicians since the foundation of the company in the city. The personal contacts and the close partnership with the official public representatives and politicians also include the federal state governor, who was also a guest at Busch in Maulburg a few years ago.

Vacuum central systems for packagingIn its latest edition the "Fleischereitechnik" magazine reported about a Busch manufactured vacuum central system, which is used by the company Hans Kupfer & Sohn GmbH & Co. KG.
Kupfer, one of the most modern and biggest production plants in Europe, produces 28.000 tons of meat per annum in the Bavarian Heilsbronn.
Concerning vacuum supply, Kupfer completely relies on Busch. A Busch central vacuum system supplies the company with the required vacuum that mainly serves the meat packaging.
Due to the central vacuum system, which was especially designed for the company's requirements, Kupfer was able to decrease its operation costs drastically.
Since the vacuum supply is located outside the manufacturing area, it is classified as a "High-Risk-Hygiene area". Other than that there is no rejected heat inside the manufacturing area, which results in an energy reduction. Offprints of this article can be ordered at info@busch.de
