NOTE
Illustrations
In this instruction manual the illustrations may differ from the machine appearance.
2.1 Operating Principle
The machine works on the rotary vane principle.
The oil seals the gaps, lubricates the vanes and takes away compression heat.
Exhaust filters separate the oil from the discharged gas.

Product Description | 2
0870160580_PB_PC0004C_B0001_IM_en 5 / 24
2.2 Application
The machine is intended for the suction of air and other dry, non-aggressive, non-toxic
and non-explosive gases.
Conveying of other media leads to an increased thermal and/or mechanical load on the
machine and is permissible only after a consultation with Busch.
The machine is intended for the placement in a non-potentially explosive environment.
The machine is capable of maintaining ultimate pressure, see Technical Data [►20].
The machine is a built-in pump designed for food vacuum packaging machines in the
domestic environment.
Version PC 0004 C:
The machine is suitable for continuous operation.
Version PB 0004 C:
During operation oil accumulates at the bottom of the upper chamber of the oil
separator, which cannot flow down into the bottom chamber, as long as the ma-
chine runs. At the latest after of continuous operation, in case of high pressure
difference between suction side and pressure side after a shorter period, the ma-
chine must be shut down for at least , so that the oil can run down from the up-
per chamber of the oil separator into the bottom chamber.
Permitted environmental conditions, see Technical Data [►20].
The machine is a built-in pump designed for vacuum packaging machines.
2.3 Start Controls
The machine comes without start controls. The control of the machine is to be provided
in the course of installation.
The machine can be optionally equipped with a starter unit or a variable-frequency drive.
2.4 Standard Features
2.4.1 Motor Thermal Protection
Single-phase motors are equipped with a thermal protection switch to protect the ma-
chine against overload. Three-phase motors are not equipped with a thermal protection
switch.
2.5 Optional Accessories
2.5.1 Inlet Filter
The inlet filter protects the machine against dust and other solids in the process gas. The
inlet filter is available with a paper or polyester cartridge.

3 Transport
NOTICE
In case the machine is already filled with oil.
Tilting a machine that is already filled with oil can cause large quantities of oil to in-
gress into the cylinder. Starting the machine with excessive quantities of oil in the
cylinder will immediately break the vanes and ruin the machine!
• Drain the oil prior to every transport or always horizontally transport the machine.
Machine weight:
see the technical data or the nameplate (NP)
• Check the machine for transport damage.
If the machine is secured to a base plate:
• Remove the machine from the base plate.
4 Storage
• Seal all apertures with adhesive tape or reuse provided caps.
If the machine is to be stored for more than 3 months:
• Wrap the machine in a corrosion inhibiting film.
• Store the machine indoors, dry, dust free and if possible in original packaging
preferably at temperatures between 0 ... 40 °C.

motor and the electrical instruments.
• Make sure that the installation space or location is vented such that sufficient cooling
of the machine is provided.
• Make sure that cooling air inlets and outlets are not covered or obstructed and that
the cooling air flow is not affected adversely in any other way.
• Make sure that the oil sight glass (OSG) remains easily visible.
• Make sure that enough space remains for maintenance work.
• Make sure that the machine is placed or mounted horizontally, a maximum of 1° in
any direction is acceptable.
• Check the oil level, fill up if necessary, see Filling Oil [►8].

5.2 Connecting Lines / Pipes
• Remove all protective caps before installation.
• Make sure that the connection lines cause no stress on the machine‘s connection; if
necessary use flexible joints.
• Make sure that the line size of the connection lines over the entire length is at least as
large as the connections of the machine.
In case of very long connection lines it is advisable to use larger line sizes in order to
avoid a loss of efficiency. Seek advice from your Busch representative.
5.2.1 Suction Connection
NOTICE
Ingress of foreign objects or liquids.
Risk of damage to the machine!
If the inlet gas contains dust or other foreign solid particles:
• Install a suitable filter (5micron or less) upstream from the machine.
Connection size:
– G1/4
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply.
5.2.2 Discharge Connection
CAUTION
The discharge gas contains small quantities of oil.
Risk to health!
If air is discharged into rooms where persons are present:
• Make sure that sufficient ventilation is provided.
Connection size:
– Without connection. The discharged gas is released to the ambient of the machine.
Depending on the specific order, other connection dimensions may apply.
• Make sure that the discharged gas will flow without obstruction. Do not shut off or
throttle the discharge line or use it as a pressurised air source.

7.1 Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance intervals depend very much on the individual operating conditions. The
intervals given below are desired to be considered as starting values which should be
shortened or extended as appropriate. Particularly harsh applications or heavy duty oper-
ation, such as high dust loads in the environment or in the process gas, other contamina-
tion or ingress of process material, can make it necessary to shorten the maintenance in-
tervals significantly.
Interval Maintenance work
Weekly • Check the oil level, see Oil Level Inspection [►14].
• Check the machine for oil leaks - in case of leaks have
the machine repaired (contact Busch).
Monthly In case of an inlet filter being installed:
• Check the inlet filter cartridge, replace if neces-
sary.
Every 2000 hours, at the latest
after 6 months
• Change the oil and the exhaust filters (EF).
Every 5 years • Have a major overhaul on the machine (contact
Busch).
7.2 Oil Level Inspection
• Shut down the machine.
