information NOTE
Illustrations.
In this instruction manual, the illustrations may differ from the appearance of the machine.

Operating Principle

The machine works on the rotary vane principle.
The oil seals the gaps, lubricates the vanes and takes away compression heat.
In order to avoid reverse rotation after switching off, the machine is equipped with a non-return valve (NRV).
Exhaust filters separate the oil from the discharged gas.
Product Operating Principle

Intended Use


In case of foreseeable misuse outside the intended use of the machine.
Risk of injuries!
Risk of damage to the machine!
Risk of damage to the environment!

  • Make sure to follow all instructions described in this manual.

The machine is intended for the suction of air and other dry, non-aggressive, non-toxic, non-ignitable and non-explosive gases.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch.
The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment.
The machine is designed for indoor installations. For outdoor installations, consult your Busch representative for special precautions.
The machine is capable of maintaining ultimate pressure, see Technical Data.
Depending on the version of the machine, limit the operating time as follows:

Machine version Operating time
PB version
Ultimate pressure =
pabs: 2.0 hPa (mbar)*
The machine is suitable for intermittent operation only.
At the latest after 30 minutes of continuous operation, the machine must be shut down for at least 5 minutes.
PC version
Ultimate pressure =
pabs: 30 hPa (mbar)*
The machine is suitable for continuous operation within a range of 30 to 100 hPa abs.
Version with single-phase motor: The machine is intended for intermittent operation (S3).
The drive is equipped with a thermal protection switch.

* Refer to the nameplate (NP) to identify the machine version.

Note: The non-return valve (NRV) shouldn't be used as a non-return or shut off valve for the System. The non-return valve is only to protect the machine.

If the machine needs to be maintained after shutdown:

  • Provide an additional manual or automatic operated non-return valve in the suction line.

Permitted environmental conditions, see Technical Data
The machine is a built-in pump designed for vacuum packaging machines.

Start Controls

The machine comes without start controls. The control of the machine is to be provided in the course of installation.
The machine can be equipped with a starter unit or a variable speed drive.
The machine can be equipped with a soft-starter.

Standard Features

Motor Thermal Protection
Single-phase motors are equipped with a thermal protection switch to protect the machine against overload. Three-phase motors are not equipped with a thermal protection switch.

Optional Accessories

Gas Ballast Valve

The gas ballast valve mixes the process gas with a limited quantity of ambient air to counteract the condensation of vapor inside the machine.
The gas ballast valve has an influence on the ultimate pressure of the machine, see Technical Data

Inlet Filter

The inlet filter protects the machine against dust and other solids in the process gas. The inlet filter is available with a paper cartridge.

Transport

NOTICE
In case the machine is already filled with oil.
Tilting a machine that is already filled with oil can cause large quantities of oil to ingress into the cylinder. Starting the machine with excessive quantities of oil in the cylinder will immediately break the vanes and ruin the machine!

  • Drain the oil prior to every transport or always horizontally transport the machine.
  • To find out the weight of the machine, refer to the chapter Technical Data or the nameplate (NP).
    Checking the nameplate to find out the weight
  • Check the machine for transport damage.

If the machine is secured to a base plate:

  • Remove the machine from the base plate.

Storage

  • Seal hermetically all apertures with the caps provided with the machine, or with adhesive tape if the caps are no longer available.
  • Store the machine indoors, in a dry place, away from dust and vibrations and if possible, in original packaging, preferably at temperatures between 0... 40°C.

If the machine is to be stored for more than 3 months:

  • Seal hermetically all apertures with the caps provided with the machine, or with adhesive tape if the caps are no longer available.
  • Wrap the machine in a corrosion inhibitor film.
  • Store the machine indoors, in a dry place, away from dust and vibrations and if possible, in original packaging, preferably at temperatures between 0... 40°C.

Installation

  • Make sure that the environment of the machine is not potentially explosive.
  • Make sure that the ambient conditions comply with theTechnical Data
  • Make sure that the environmental conditions comply with the protection class of the motor and the electrical elements.
  • Make sure that the installation space or location is protected from weather and lightning.
  • Make sure that the installation space or location is vented such that sufficient cooling of the machine is provided.
  • Make sure that cooling air inlets and outlets are not covered or obstructed and that the cooling air flow is not affected adversely in any other way.
  • Make sure that the oil sight glass (OSG) remains easily visible.
  • Make sure that enough space remains for maintenance work.
  • Make sure that the machine is placed or mounted horizontally, a maximum deviation of 1° in any direction is acceptable.
  • Check the oil level, fill up if necessary, see Filling Oil
  • Make sure that all provided covers, guards, hoods, etc. are mounted.

If the machine is installed at an altitude greater than 1000 meters above sea level:

  • Contact your Busch representative, the motor must be derated or the ambient temperature limited.

Connecting Lines / Pipes

  • Remove all protective covers before installation.
  • Make sure that the connection lines cause no stress on the connections of the machine. Therefore, we recommend installing flexible lines on the suction connection.
  • Make sure that the diameter of the connection lines over the entire length is at least as large as the connections of the machine.

In case of long connection lines:

  • Use larger diameters to avoid a loss of efficiency.
  • Contact your Busch representative for more information.

Suction Connection

NOTICE
Ingress of foreign objects or liquids.
Risk of damage to the machine!

If the inlet gas contains dust or other foreign solid particles:

  • Install a suitable filter (5 micron or less) upstream from the machine.

Connection size(s):

  • G 3/8"

Depending on the specific configuration ordered, other connection dimensions may apply.
If the machine is used as part of a vacuum system:

  • Busch recommends the installation of an isolation valve in order to prevent the machine from turning backwards.
  • Busch recommends the installation of an isolation valve in order to prevent the oil from flowing back to the vacuum system.

NOTICE
Using the non-return valve as shut off valve.
Risk of oil mist flow back into the vacuum system.

  • It is highly recommended not to use the non-return valve as a shut off system.
  • Make sure that the connection lines cause no stress on the connections of the machine. Therefore, we recommend installing flexible lines on the suction connection.

Discharge Connection


The discharge gas contains small quantities of oil.
Risk to health!

If air is discharged into rooms where persons are present:

  • Make sure that sufficient ventilation is provided.

NOTICE
Discharge gas flow obstructed.
Risk of damage to the machine!

  • Make sure that the discharged gas will flow without obstruction. Do not shut off or throttle the discharge line or use it as a pressurized air source.

Connection size(s):

  • Without connection. The discharged gas is released to the ambient of the machine.

Depending on the specific configuration ordered, other connection dimensions may apply.

Filling Oil

NOTICE
Use of an inappropriate oil.
Risk of premature failure!
Loss of efficiency!

  • Only use an oil type which has previously been approved and recommended by Busch.
