Atlas Copco GHS VSD+ Oil Sealed Rotary Screw Vacuum Pump | 350 - 900 VSD+ Series
- Overview
Atlas Copco GHS VSD+ Oil Sealed Rotary Screw Vacuum Pump | 350 - 900 VSD+ Series
The GHS 350-900 VSD+ Series is a range of connected, intelligent, oil-sealed rotary screw vacuum pumps with Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology. Based on the well-known and durable plug-and-play design principles, these vacuum pumps have been designed by vacuum engineers to deliver peak performance at your operating pressure.
The engine of any central vacuum system is the vacuum pump. Variable demand from your process often leads to frequent start-stops. These can
in turn lead to mechanical and electrical motor problems such as overheating, fan breakage, oil degradation and vane delamination.
Traditionally, the way to overcome these problems is to use a wide pressure band to limit the number of stop-starts. Unfortunately this is
not a cost-effective solution. A much better solution is to use a Variable Speed Drive (VSD). The vacuum pump with a VSD only delivers what
is required.
The GHS VSD⁺ series vacuum pumps are ideal for a range of applications in plastics, glass, bottling, canning, wood, packaging, printing and
paper, meat packaging and many more. The GHS 350-900 VSD⁺ is the ideal solution when a dedicated pump is required in the production area.

Atlas Copco requested ENGIE Lab to perform tests on its GHS VSD+ vacuum pump and three competitive pumps. The GHS VSD+ overwhelmingly came out on top in terms of energy efficiency.
Technical Specifications
.The GHS VSD⁺ series have shown a significantly better performance against traditional fixed speed technologies; potentially saving 50%* or more in energy costs.
*In most applications compared to traditional fixed speed vacuum technologies based on measurement with our Vbox energy audit tool.
VSD+ for potential energy savings of 50%* or more
In almost every production environment, the need for vacuum fluctuates depending on different factors such as process changes, the time of day, week or even month. Extensive measurements and studies of demand profiles show that there are many substantial variants with regards to vacuum demand. *In most applications compared to traditional fixed speed vacuum technologies based on measurement with our Vbox energy audit tool. Fixed Speed Vacuum Pump Energy Investment Maintenance GHS VSD+ SAVINGS 50%*
Why Atlas Copco Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology?
- Potential energy savings of 50%* or more with an extensive flow range (20-100%)
- Reduced electrical installation costs (fuse and cable size)
- Integrated HEX@™ graphic controller controls the motor speed and high efficiency frequency inverter
- Eliminates peak current penalty during start-up experienced with stop-start machines
Energy savings
VSD and set-point control, lead to significant energy savings. Set-point control allows you to optimize the energy you use to maintain your process vacuum level and thereby optimize your process efficiency and performance. The lowest possible flow will be delivered to match your required vacuum level or speed – nothing is wasted.

Reduced environmental impact due to ultra-high oil retention at all operating pressures
Ideal for diverse markets
The GHS VSD+ Series vacuum pumps are ideal for a range of applications in plastics, glass, bottling, canning, wood, packaging, printing and paper, meat packaging and many more. The GHS 350-900 VSD+ is an optimal solution when a dedicated pump is required in the production area
Low lifecycle costs
For
replacement pumps, the GHS VSD+ Series offers a very low lifecycle cost (including service activities and energy). Generally the payback
time against existing oil-lubricated or multiple dry vane installations will be much less than two years, considering energy consumption and
maintenance costs alone, without taking into account the ease of installation.
Benefits for your vacuum installation
With these vacuum pumps you can potentially save 50%* or more in energy costs. They are among the most energy-efficient oil-lubricated vacuum pumps in the market in the capacity range where some other technologies (e.g. oil-sealed vane and fixed speed OIS) start to become mechanically inefficient and expensive in terms of capital expenditure.
Easy and fast installation saves time
Optimized working surroundings
In addition, the GHS VSD+ series offers a low noise level when compared to other vacuum pumps in the market today. Its superior oil
retention also means that the quality of the exhausted air is optimal and oil spills on the factory floor are avoided. The end result is
a significantly cleaner working environment
Guaranteed uptime and low costs
The GHS VSD+ series is designed for easy and infrequent maintenance:
Mean Time Between Maintenance (MTBM) rates are long
No water is needed, and HEX@™ is available to keep you informed of pump performance and maintenance requirements
Long-lasting components
The oil separator is designed for highly efficient oil coalescing with ultra-low back pressure, which means less energy consumption.
This contributes to a long oil separator life that is double that of a comparable oil-sealed vane vacuum pump. Another contribution to
oil separator life is the patented design which never allows the filtration media to be overloaded, so they last much longer. This is
great news for your maintenance budget.
Energy savings
VSD and set-point control – not normally features of vacuum pumps – lead to significant energy savings. Set-point control allows you to
optimize the energy you use to maintain your process vacuum level and thereby optimize your process efficiency and performance. The
lowest possible flow will be delivered to match your required vacuum level or speed – nothing is wasted!
Sixth sense intelligence - HEX@TM
With HEX@™, you can monitor and control your pump from anywhere and at any time. You can receive feedback and review pump operating status, vacuum levels and upcoming scheduled events for your vacuum system
