Tortilla Manufacturer Increases Yield With High Flow Vacuum Generator

The Challenge
Using a widely known competitor, a large tortilla shell manufacturer was experiencing multiple machine breakdowns and lost product failures. As the baking plates were positioned for the tortilla, they did not always align properly, which created a vacuum leak and eventually dropped the plate into the oven, crushing and breaking the entire batch of product.

The Solution
Reaching into the broad base of automation products, Parker replaced the competitive product with a high flow CHF vacuum generator and a VFP vacuum filter for this baking application. As the products proved themselves in the application for the long term, the customer switched other failing machines to these products as well.

• Simplified purchasing from 1 vendor
• Ease of support with global part availability and resources
• Fast payback through increased yield
• No downtime or scrapped product
• No air leaks on the vacuum system

Vacuum Generators
Vacuum Generators overcome leaks with high flow capacity, reduce downtime by eliminating failures, and increase product line throughput. Parker offers air-economizing generators that are ideal for a range of Food and Beverage applications.
