This deal comes to a total of R1.6 million.Working at the hospitals poses many problems, asit is crucial that the air or vacuum supply to thehospital is never interrupted. That’s why temporarystandby connections are made before any workcommences to ensure an uninterrupted air supply.The team had to develop a Lead/Lag control panelthat makes sure that the load is evenly distributedand that stopping and starting the compressorsand vacuum pumps happened in sequence. Thelead/ lag panel also makes sure that the machinessense the standby generator starting andimmediately start all the machines in the event ofa power failure. The copper tubing that is used isa special medical grade copper that has no harmfulsubstances; the medical grade inline filtration usedmeets and exceeds international standards.“The Sullair vacuum pump has no rival, there issimply no vacuum pump that can supply the samereliable quality vacuum as the VS series vacuumpumps. For this reason hospitals specify our Sullairvacuum pumps as standard equipment.
