DHS 3000 VSD+ – Atlas Copco's robust screw vacuum pump for industrial application

Compact, quiet, and clean

Cologne, March 2026: Atlas Copco developed the dry screw vacuum pump DHS 3000
VSD+ specifically for massive flow industrial applications. As dry technology, it is well
suited for paper processing, conveying technologies, pick-and-place applications in the
food industry, and as a central vacuum system. Powered by a highly efficient IE4 motor
with a patented asymmetrical rotor design, users benefit from energy savings of up to 50
percent compared to competitive products. The low-maintenance, compact vacuum pump
has a pleasantly low noise level and also runs vibration-free.

Lower energy consumption and component wear

An integrated, intelligent control system with frequency converter automatically adjusts
the speed of the DHS 3000 VSD+ to the requirements, ensuring that the exact vacuum
level required is delivered in each process section. This results in significantly lower
energy consumption and reduced wear on all moving components. Overall, this also
extends the maintenance intervals and service life of the vacuum pump. Companies that
value stable performance and high process reliability and also need to reduce their energy
costs will find the dry-running pump a robust, clean solution.

No oil emissions or other contamination

A wear-free gearbox ensures optimum power transmission from the motor to the screw.
“We have achieved a long service life for the gear wheels by using a cooled oil flow,”
explains Carol Pignatelli, Product Manager from Atlas Copco. Because the DHS 3000
VSD+ does not use oil in any other way, there is no risk of oil emissions though carry
over. “We have also equipped the DHS VSD+ with an air intake filter to protect
operational process from dust and particles,” Carol Pignatelli continues. The oil-free
technology and simple, robust design also contribute to low maintenance costs.

Quiet, vibration-free operation

A range of ergonomic advantages and straightforward handling make the DHS 3000
VSD+ extremely user-friendly: under a noise-reducing hood, it runs pleasantly quietly
and vibration-free. The easy-to-use Elektronikon® control system gives users a constant
overview of the latest status updates on operating and downtimes, error and alarms.
“Atlas Copco supplies the DHS VSD+ as a complete plug-and-play unit that can be
seamlessly and quickly integrated into any system,” concludes Carol Pignatelli.
