Busch Wins Bronze Medal in EcoVadis Sustainability Ranking

The ASM HVM is designed for applications where clean operation, high sensitivity, and mobility are essential. It ensures reliable helium leak testing for both spraying and sniffing applications, making it particularly well-suited for medium test volumes in semiconductor manufacturing, research and development, and industrial environments.

Ecovado, a South African agro-processing company founded by entrepreneur Hulisani Mudau, has launched a new avocado oil processing plant in Limpopo in partnership with Alfa Laval Middle East, South and East Africa. Located in the Vhembe District, the plant will process locally grown avocados into oil, creating new opportunities for economic development and value creation in the surrounding community.

Data is transforming how pumps are made, run and maintained. BPMA CEO Wayne Rose looks at how Digital Product Passports, real-time monitoring and AI are pushing the UK pump industry toward a connected, data-driven future — and why skills and culture matter as much as the technology itself.

In vacuum technology, precision and reliability are critical. Whatever the application, vacuum equipment must always provide the same level of performance in order to produce consistent results. Non-genuine components may look the same as genuine parts, but their inconsistent quality can reduce efficiency, compromise reliability, and increase total cost-of-ownership. This article explains how genuine spare parts and oil preserve vacuum pump efficiency, reliability and performance, and outlines the risks of substandard substitutes.

DESMI Group delivered strong sales growth in 2025 and further strengthened its market position across several key business areas, despite continued global uncertainty and challenging market conditions.

Vacuum pumps are essential to many manufacturing and processing applications, but they are also a source of heat. While modern vacuum pumps are efficient and minimize this heat loss, a certain amount of heat generation is a natural by-product of vacuum generation that can never be completely avoided. Traditionally, much of this heat is allowed to dissipate into the surrounding environment.
