Brenner-Fiedler

Challenge:
Customer required a discrete vacuum pump for clinical lab environment that could operate at 100% duty cycle, vacuum adjustable, with On/Off switch and power cord complete with hose attachment. 

The customer was using an MOA series vacuum pump with a potential quantity of 1000 units per year. They were happy with the performance of the pump but were not happy with the industrial look of the unit. They wanted something that could be placed in a patient’s room at a doctor’s office that was quiet and discrete.

Solution:
It was determined that a smaller vacuum pump (10D type) could be used to complete customer's requirements and still accommodate performance. 

A fully enclosed vacuum pump (see picture) with the following description was created;

Fully enclosed vacuum pump (7.48 in L x 5.43 in. W x 3.149 in. H.) with sound insulation for quiet operation.  Unit includes 120V adaptor cord with ON/OFF switch and is equipped with a mechanical control knob to adjust vacuum level along with a 2-1/2 in. dial vacuum gauge for ease of view.  Performance of vacuum pump is 4.3 lpm open, 14 inches Hg maximum vacuum, EDPM diaphragm and valve.

Challenge:
Company needed a small amount of clean, dry air and had no compressor.

Solution:
Brenner-Fiedler packaged an oil-less compressor, cooler and a dryer in a ventilated box to the customer’s satisfaction.

Challenge: 
A same day surgery center needed a quiet, oil free central vacuum system to provide vacuum to each operating room.  The system needed to reside outside and only take a certain space to be self-sufficient.  They needed a system that had a long service life, requiring no service or maintenance.  They currently used an oil sealed pump that had internal filters and needed to be serviced on a regular basis.

Solution:
Brenner-Fiedler assembled a duplex vacuum system with a special control panel on a small footprint.  The motors were TEFC and since the unit would reside outside, everything was painted to avoid rust.  The unit is extremely quiet.  The contractor was able to mount this system outside since it met the noise specifications and the size specifications plus it was able to handle the weather.  From there, the piping was run inside and the vacuum system could operate without constant supervision.
