Leybold NDi central vacuum system

The Leybold NDi central vacuum system is for food and packaging applications requiring a hygienic central vacuum supply.

Easy to operate and compact, the system is based on the dry-running NOVADRY screw pump and the integrated VAControl CAB controller for smart control.

By equipping the standardised NDi pump systems with the VAControl CAB, the Leybold system helps ensure control of all processes. Continuous data recording helps achieve maximum production quality, with the encrypted pump data available regardless of location. Individual users can access the server at any time — users can choose between local, remote or cloud connectivity.

Direct control of the system is possible via various interfaces and end devices.

The intelligent software functions that Leybold has stored in the control system are user-friendly and serve the entire process planning: for example, they can be used to control the starts and stops of several pumps, the pressure control and the cloud communication via GENIUS. The maintenance and service recommendations of the vacuum system are generated by the computer depending on the operating times.

The standardised NDi vacuum systems are available fully assembled in different pumping speeds: as ND 400i with 400 m³/h pumping speed and as ND 600i version with 600 m³/h pumping speed. Other features include a strong vacuum performance up to a working pressure of 5 mbar, intelligent pressure adjustment and control of the target pressure.

Applications include: food and packaging processes (ie, packaging of red meat with modified atmosphere (MAP)); research and development; pick and place; and production of electronic components.
