Why Design Air
Why choose an Atlas Copco vacuum pump
Lowest total cost of ownership
Over a 7 to 10 year life, most of your cost is electrical energy. Whether oil-sealed or dry, Atlas Copco pumps are efficient and keep total cost of ownership low across purchase, running and maintenance.
Finance options
Spread the cost over 3 to 60 months. On suitable sites your monthly payment can be lower than the energy saving the new pump delivers, so you save immediately.
Centralise your vacuum system
Replacing multiple point-of-use machines with one well-designed central vacuum system reduces maintenance and energy costs and improves the working environment on the floor.
