Energy and resource efficiency have become critical factors in modern industrial production—especially when handling ultra-light powders such as carbon black, silica, or color pigments. With the launch of its new GREIF-VELOX DryVac dry-running pump, the German engineering company introduces a forward-looking vacuum solution that combines economic efficiency, sustainability, and operational reliability.

Up to 70% less energy consumption

Without Compromising Performance. Compared to conventional water ring pumps, the GREIF-VELOX DryVac reduces energy consumption by up to 70%, and even when compared to double diaphragm pumps, energy savings of over 50% are achievable. With a motor output of just 6.5 kW, the DryVac significantly reduces operating costs.
A practical example: With an annual operating time of 8,000 hours and an average consumption of only 2.6 kW, the system can save up to €12,800 in energy costs per year—for example, during the bagging of silica.

Dry Operation Instead of Water

Resource-Saving and Low Maintenance. Developed in collaboration with Busch Vacuum Solutions, the GREIF-VELOX DryVac operates using a dry claw mechanism—completely without water, lubricants, or cooling fluids. The result: minimal wear, significantly reduced maintenance, and zero water consumption.

Full control, user-friendly

The pump also features an intelligent HMI control panel that provides full visibility of all process parameters and automatically reports faults in real time, ensuring full control with simple, user-friendly operation.
Compact, Modular, Scalable: Greater Flexibility for Your System
The DryVac’s space-saving design allows for easy vertical stacking and seamless integration into existing VeloVac systems. Its decentralized vacuum generation reduces system complexity and leads to lower investment and operating costs.

Efficiency Meets Sustainability

Ready for the Industry of Tomorrow. With the DryVac, GREIF-VELOX expands its portfolio with a high-performance, sustainable vacuum solution tailored to the needs of demanding powder packaging processes. The new pump is now available for all VeloVac systems.
