What Are Vacuum Air Systems?

Vacuum and compressed air systems are used to generate suction or positive pressure for industrial processes. Vacuum pumps remove air and gas molecules to create a pressure differential, enabling:

  • Material handling (pick-and-place, conveying)
  • Packaging and thermoforming
  • Medical suction and aspiration
  • Degassing, drying, and filtration
  • Vacuum clamping and molding

The type of vacuum system depends on your required vacuum level, flow rate, and media being handled. Airtech offers solutions from rough vacuum to high vacuum, ensuring safe, clean, and reliable performance across critical processes.
