Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013026522A1] A vacuum device (3) for generating negative pressure in plants for the processing of containers (2), in particular in plants for filling containers (2) with a liquid product, having a vacuum source, the vacuum and/or suction power of which can be controlled and/or regulated. The vacuum source of the vacuum device (3) is formed by at least two electrically driven vacuum pumps (4.1 - 4.3) designed for parallel operation, and the overall vacuum or suction power of the vacuum device (3) can be controlled, for example by means of a control and regulating unit (5), by way of the number of respectively activated vacuum pumps (4.1 - 4.3).
