Vacuum Generators
- Vacuum generators provide the required vacuum. The vacuum is generated either pneumatically (ejectors) or electrically (pumps, blowers). Ejectors offer intelligent functions for energy and process control.

Vacuum Generators
Vacuum generators provide the vacuum level that is required for the handling task. The vacuum is created either pneumatically or electrically. Pneumatic vacuum generators implement short cycle times and can be integrated directly into the system due to their compact and lightweight design. Electrical vacuum generators are used in applications when compressed air is not available or when very high suction capacities are required.
Pneumatic vacuum generators
- Ejectors
- Vacuum Units (includes ejector, monitoring and control)
Electrical vacuum generators
- Pumps
- Vacuum Blowers
Important
The nominal suction rate of all vacuum generators is given in l/min or m3/h. The values are based on an ambient pressure of 1,013 mbar (sea level) and an ambient temperature of 20°C. The maximum suction rate therefore indicates the volume flow that the vacuum generator evacuates from the environment (free flow).

Our selection aid contains a graphic that illustrates suction rate, it also provides additional information that should be observed when selecting the right vacuum generator.
Vacuum Ejectors
Ejectors work on the Venturi principle; they are divided into singlestage ejectors and ejectors featuring eco-nozzle technology.
Vacuum Units
Vacuum units are complete solutions made up of an ejector, monitoring and control. Benefit from the advantages of vacuum units from Schmalz.
Vacuum Pumps
Vacuum pumps generate a very high vacuum. Schmalz offers dry-running, oil-lubricated or water-ring pumps.
Vacuum Blowers
Vacuum blowers are equipped with blades and work according to the momentum principle. You can find further details here.
