Winemaking is big business. When Oregon-based winery NW Wine Company was looking to double their bottling production, they turned to Rogers for a solution that would power a much larger operation.
This case study is written in conjunction with NW Wine Company.
In replacing the antiquated vacuum equipment with an energy efficient whole system solution, Organic Valley was able to save approximately 32,000 kWHrs and 16,000 gallons of water usage per year.
After becoming frustrated with unreliable air compressors, poor support, and low-quality compressed air, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories decided to rely on Rogers for all their compressed air needs.
In this article, we’ll discuss some of the uses for receiver tanks for positive pressure systems where the pressure inside the system is greater than atmospheric pressure, and the uses, or lack thereof of, receiver tanks in vacuum systems where the system pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.
Freeze dry systems are some of the more thermodynamically active vacuum applications around, with operating pressure requirements firmly categorized in the “medium vacuum” realm. The lessons learned from the principles and subsystems in play can and should be applied broadly; to your own industrial vacuum system whether freeze-drying is your game or not; and, just maybe, in appreciation of the happenstance of our own humanity.

Do you know if you need a fixed speed or VSD controlled vacuum pump for your specific application?
In this article, we discuss some of the applications best suited for an oil lubricated vacuum pump, when you would want to control your system with a variable speed drive, and break down the top 6 situations a fixed speed drive for an oil lubricated vacuum pump would be best.
