When modern vacuum technology boosts production: Travaini TRVX in a demanding industrial environment

When vacuum pumps are an important part of production, they need to work properly. At a leading manufacturer of inserts for turning and milling applications, their older pumps were starting to create challenges in production. They were drawing a lot of water, needed more servicing and spare parts were slow to arrive. This made the process both expensive and difficult to keep stable.  
 
To ensure stable and long-term production, a more modern solution was needed that could handle both technical requirements and a tough operating environment. Thanks to our cooperation with Pompetravaini, we were able to find a solution that both met the requirements and made the installation smoother for the customer. 

The challenge: An existing process in need of modernization 

The customer knew what they wanted to achieve, but they lacked a pump that could do the job. They needed a solution that: 

  • Streamlining production 
  • Provides greater accessibility 
  • Keeps operating and repair costs down 
  • Can handle a very demanding application 
  • Can be integrated despite modifications to existing machinery 

This is where we at Colly Flowtech, together with Pompetravaini, came in. 

The solution: Travaini TRVX - modern, innovative and easy to work with 

Through our technical expertise, and thanks to close cooperation with both Pompetravaini and the customer, we were able to identify the optimal solution: Pompetravainis TRVX vacuum models. 

A pump built for harsh environments that gets the job done without fuss. What stood out were four parts: 

  1. Compact design with fewer parts 
  1. Lower weight and possibility of frequency control 
  1. Significantly lower water consumption 
  1. Easy maintenance with external play adjustment and reusable wear plates 

Kent Lekeborn, sales representative at Colly Flowtech and one of those who led the project, says: 

“For us it was about more than just changing the pump. We wanted to find a solution that really improved production. When we saw how TRVX combines innovation, energy efficiency and smart serviceability, we knew this was the way to go.” 

The new pumps installed at customer site.

The result: A simpler and more stable vacuum process 

Through a structured testing process with verified test runs and optimizations, we developed a complete pump solution. What that meant in practice was: 

  • Lower water and energy consumption thanks to the modern design of the pump and the possibility of frequency control. 
  • Easier and faster maintenance through fewer parts, external clearance adjustment and reusable wear plates. 
  • Higher operational reliability which reduces unplanned stops and provides more stable production. 
  • Smaller installation space and smoother integration thanks to the compact design of the pump. 
  • Lower total cost over time through standardized components and reduced service costs. 

Technology, experience and the right partners create smarter solutions 

With Pompetravaini's wide range of products and our experience, we were able to find a solution that suited both the application and the customer's everyday life. This is an example of how the right pump and the right expertise can make a real difference, not just on paper, but in day-to-day operations.
