Vacuum cooling systems from Vechta
Friedrich Vacuum Solutions GmbH (FVS) develops and manufactures vacuum cooling systems for bakeries, food production and the agricultural sector. The systems cool baked goods, convenience products such as rice, pasta or hummus, as well as fruit, vegetables, flowers and rolled turf to the desired core temperature in 2.5 to 8 minutes – conventional methods often take hours. The FVS Bakery, FVS Food and FVS Agrar system series are individually configured to suit the product, capacity and production workflow, from the compact single-rack solution to systems accommodating up to four Stikken racks simultaneously. The design relies on purely electric servo drives instead of compressed air as well as air-cooled vacuum pumps without a cooling water connection. On around 1,300 m² of workshop space in Vechta, central components are manufactured in-house with CNC metalworking, industrial 3D printing, frame construction and control cabinet wiring; development, manufacturing, assembly and service are combined under one roof. The service offering includes maintenance based on operating hours, repairs and brand-independent servicing of vacuum systems from other manufacturers as well, including hands-on testing with a mobile demo system on site.

Technology and Manufacturing
FVS Bakery series
Vacuum cooling systems for baked goods, from compact single-rack solutions to systems for up to four Stikken racks, with revolving door, sliding door or lift-up door.
FVS Food series
Vacuum cooling for cooked and heated foods and convenience products, individually configured to suit the product, capacity and production workflow.
FVS Agrar series
Pre-cooling of fruit, vegetables, flowers and rolled turf directly after harvest, designed for the harvested product, container system and capacity.
Servo drives instead of compressed air
Purely electric drives make compressed-air technology and elaborate peripherals unnecessary and simplify system integration.
Vacuum pumps without cooling water
Air-cooled pumps require no cooling water supply, recirculating coolers or chilled water units – fewer interfaces and sources of failure.
CNC metalworking
In-house manufacturing of central system components in the workshop in Vechta.
Industrial 3D printing
Additively manufactured components for system production.
