Kepak Implements ECOTORQUE Technology for Energy Savings and Extended Vacuum Pump Life
Kepak McIntosh Donald has retrofitted its R5 vacuum pumps with Busch's ECOTORQUE technology, achieving up to 50% energy savings and extending pump service life. This collaboration, ongoing for 15 years, has resulted in significant reductions in energy consumption and maintenance costs while supporting sustainability goals. The trial indicated a 64% drop in weekly energy use, translating to annual savings of approximately £10,350 per machine. Kepak plans to expand the installation across its facilities to leverage these benefits further.

Kepak McIntosh Donald retrofitted its R5 oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps with Busch's ECOTORQUE variable speed drive technology, resulting in energy savings of up to 50%. The partnership with Busch, lasting around 15 years, focused on optimizing performance and reducing energy consumption.
The trial showed weekly energy consumption decreased by over 64%, with a substantial 94% reduction during idle times. This led to annual savings of approximately £10,350 per machine. The initiative aligns with Kepak's sustainability goals and plans for further implementation across other facilities.
