Vacuum Systems Powering the Mid-South’s Growing Tech and Packaging Sectors
As advanced manufacturing, food packaging, and medical production continue to expand across the Mid-South, industrial vacuum systems are becoming essential to high-performance operations. Facilities from Memphis and Jackson, TN, to Springdale and Little Rock, AR, and Tupelo, MS rely on vacuum technology for everything from cleanroom control to automated product handling.
At Process & Power, we support this growing demand with turnkey vacuum system sales, installation, and service. Whether you're handling pharmaceuticals, assembling electronics, or packaging perishables, we help you select and maintain the right vacuum solution for your application.
What Is an Industrial Vacuum System?
Unlike air compressors that generate pressurized air, vacuum systems remove air to create negative pressure. That vacuum is used to:
Lift, hold, or move materials
Evacuate air from packaging
Maintain cleanroom pressure
Remove contaminants or waste
Provide medical suction or lab support
Assist in forming or molding applications
We offer a wide range of vacuum technologies tailored to different flow rates, vacuum levels, cleanliness requirements, and environmental factors.
Industries That Depend on Vacuum Systems in the Mid-South
1. High-Speed Food and Consumer Packaging
Vacuum is critical in MAP (modified atmosphere packaging), vacuum sealing, bottling, and automated material handling. Consistent vacuum improves seal strength, shelf life, and package integrity.
2. Electronics and Cleanroom Manufacturing
For pick-and-place robotics, PCB handling, and sensitive part positioning, vacuum must be clean, oil-free, and consistent to avoid contamination or circuit damage.
3. Pharmaceutical and Biotech Production
Vacuum systems support tablet pressing, blister packaging, filtration, and freeze-drying. These applications require compliance with FDA and ISO standards, and ultra-clean, dry vacuum pressure.
4. Medical Facilities and Labs
Hospitals and surgical centers use vacuum systems for suction, sterilization, and patient care. These systems must meet NFPA 99 medical gas standards and include redundancy, alarms, and clean operation.
5. Plastics, Composites, and Wood Products
Used in vacuum forming, VARTM (vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding), and dust control, vacuum ensures product consistency and process reliability.
If your system relies on suction, vacuum is more than an accessory—it’s a core utility.
Vacuum Technologies We Support
At Process & Power, we sell, install, and service a wide range of vacuum systems, including:
✅ Dry Claw Pumps
Ideal for clean applications like medical, lab, and electronics environments. Oil-free, low maintenance, and energy efficient.
✅ Rotary Vane Pumps
Reliable, compact, and commonly used in general industrial and light medical applications. Available in oil-lubricated or oil-free designs.
✅ Oil-Lubricated Rotary Screw Pumps
Built for continuous-duty, high-demand operations. Perfect for packaging lines and centralized vacuum systems.
✅ Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps
Best suited for applications involving moisture or corrosive gases, such as paper processing or chemical environments.
✅ NFPA-Compliant Medical Vacuum Systems
We install and maintain medical-grade vacuum systems from Powerex and other trusted brands.
Why Proper Design and Sizing Matters
A poorly sized or incorrectly installed vacuum system can lead to:
Weak vacuum performance across workstations
Equipment contamination or damage
Energy waste from oversized units
Downtime from clogging, overheating, or over-cycling
Regulatory non-compliance in medical and food applications
Our team ensures your vacuum system is properly selected and installed for peak performance and code compliance.
Signs It’s Time to Upgrade or Service Your Vacuum System
Loss of suction or inconsistent vacuum levels
Oil or smoke visible at outlets
High energy bills with no output increase
Excessive noise, vibration, or heat
Frequent filter or separator clogs
Non-compliance with NFPA, ISO, or GMP requirements
Your current pump is 10+ years old and struggling
Whether you need repairs or a full upgrade, we offer cost-effective, long-term solutions.
Emergency Repair and Maintenance Services
Just like compressors, vacuum systems can fail unexpectedly. We offer 24/7 emergency repair across the region. If your cleanroom pressure is fluctuating or your packaging line is stalled, we’ll respond fast with tools, diagnostics, and parts to get you back online.
We also offer preventative maintenance plans that include:
Filter changes
Seal inspections
Oil level checks and oil changes
System performance diagnostics
Scheduled downtime service to avoid production disruptions
