R40
Hygienic. Quiet. Close to the process.
The R40 is a mobile three-phase industrial vacuum cleaner designed for hygiene-critical cleaning and extraction tasks in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Its smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces and customizable stainless steel design support clean processes—in laboratories, on machinery, and along production lines.

The R40 is a mobile three-phase industrial vacuum cleaner designed for hygiene-critical cleaning and extraction tasks in the food and pharmaceutical industries. With its easy-to-clean design, stainless steel construction, and effective filtration technology, it supports clean indoor processes. Power and tank size can be selected to suit the application. For companies that want to reliably keep floors, machines, and production lines clean—or that need to extract specific process materials.
The Highlights.
Strong in the details.
RUWAC’s food and pharmaceutical vacuum pumps aren’t just made of high-quality components—they’re built on well-thought-out hygiene concepts. From the stainless steel housing to the filter technology, every detail is designed for ease of cleaning, process reliability, and dependable operation. For anyone who refuses to compromise in sensitive production environments.
Hygienic design that prevents residue buildup.

Smooth, rounded surfaces and a design that’s easy to clean minimize the potential for residue buildup. This allows the R40 to be cleaned quickly and effectively—ensuring hygienically safe processes in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Disassembled. Cleaned. Ready.

The individual components can be disassembled for cleaning. Depending on the requirements, they can be disinfected or autoclaved. This supports reproducible cleaning processes and integration into GMP environments.
Keeping a close eye on filtration.

The (optional) OMIKRON filter technology, Easy Air Touch for filter cleaning, and the standard pressure gauge ensure consistently reliable extraction. The filter condition remains visible, cleaning performance can be planned, and the process stays under control.
