Vacuum Plant Tank-Over System: Reliable Suction for Compact Medical Spaces

The Vacuum Plant Tank-Over System is a vital part of hospital suction infrastructure. It is designed to supply steady and safe vacuum pressure through designated suction outlets installed throughout a healthcare facility. Whether in operating rooms, intensive care units, or emergency departments, reliable suction systems are essential for patient safety and clinical efficiency.

This specific system configuration by Tecnomed is built on a horizontal tank, making it highly suitable for low-ceiling environments such as basements or older facility rooms. Equipped with oil-lubricated vacuum pumps, the plant provides robust and uninterrupted suction while maintaining a compact footprint.


Design and Performance

At the heart of the system are vacuum pumps installed directly on a horizontally positioned tank. This configuration saves space while ensuring performance. The plant’s compact size allows it to be easily installed in restricted areas without extensive remodeling or vertical clearance.

Each suction outlet is connected to the main tank and equipped with check-valves to prevent backflow and cross-contamination. The system includes bacterial line filters that purify the airflow before it reaches the suction outlets, ensuring sanitary and safe operation.


Fully Automatic Operation with PLC Control

What sets this vacuum plant apart is its fully automatic functionality. A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) panel is integrated into the system, allowing for real-time monitoring and intelligent control. The panel can automatically switch pumps on and off based on system pressure requirements, schedule cycles for optimal energy use, and alert maintenance personnel in case of operational issues.

This automation reduces the need for constant manual supervision and minimizes human error. The PLC panel provides data such as system pressure, pump run time, and fault diagnostics, enabling preventive maintenance and efficient management.


Ideal for Facilities with Limited Space

One of the major benefits of the Vacuum Plant Tank-Over System is its suitability for installations where space is constrained. Because the entire setup is horizontal and compact, it can be placed in mechanical rooms with low ceilings, narrow service corridors, or behind operating suites. This is particularly advantageous for older hospitals or modular buildings where infrastructure limitations make traditional vertical tank systems impractical.


Applications in Modern Medical Settings

The vacuum plant can be used in a wide range of medical environments:

  • Operating Theatres

  • Intensive Care Units (ICU)

  • Dental Clinics

  • Veterinary Hospitals

  • Emergency Departments

  • Mobile or Field Hospitals

Each of these settings demands consistent suction, whether for surgical fluid evacuation, airway clearance, or dental applications. The system ensures that suction is always available when needed and performs reliably under varying demand conditions.


Clean Air and Safety

An important feature of the Vacuum Plant Tank-Over System is its commitment to hygiene and safety. The inclusion of bacterial line filters ensures that all air handled by the vacuum system is clean and safe for clinical environments. These filters can be replaced easily as part of routine maintenance.

Furthermore, the check-valves built into each outlet connection help to avoid contamination risks, ensuring that suction lines remain sterile and functional during and after use.


Key Features of the Vacuum Plant Tank-Over System

  • Oil-type vacuum pumps mounted on a horizontal tank

  • Compact design perfect for low-ceiling spaces

  • Check-valves on all suction outlets

  • Bacterial line filters for hygiene and patient safety

  • Fully automatic system with PLC control panel

  • Quick and easy installation

  • Low maintenance and high reliability


Conclusion

The Vacuum Plant Tank-Over System offers a powerful and compact solution for medical suction needs. It is ideal for facilities where space is limited but reliable suction is non-negotiable. With automated control, hygienic design, and flexible installation, it provides hospitals and clinics with a dependable vacuum source that enhances patient care and clinical efficiency.
