Vacuum pumps for the construction industry
According to Becker, vacuum and blast air are at work on construction sites: vacuum lifters carry panels and tunnel segments, side channel blowers dry screed insulation layers, powders such as cement and lime are conveyed pneumatically, and compressors supply blast air for ready-mixed plaster and foam concrete. Atlas Copco lists construction for its AWS, AWD and AWL series. Below you can see which series the manufacturers themselves name for these tasks – 140 models from 2 manufacturers.

In short
Construction: vacuum pumps – the key facts
- −290 to −440 mbarFor tube and column lifters, Becker names side channel blowers of the SV series with 195 to 1,250 m³/h and −290 to −440 mbar; for the claw vacuum pumps, Becker names 50 mbar (BCV 100) and 150 mbar (BCV 300).
- 20,000 operating hoursA Becker case study on pick & place names 20,000 maintenance-free operating hours – negative pressure for suction cups in automated lifting and transferring.
- Vacuum and blast airBecker describes vacuum and blast air for construction sites: in groundwater lowering, an air-water mixture is extracted so that the excavation stays dry; compressors supply process air for blowing in and blowing out.
- Drying screedIn screed insulation drying, moist air is extracted and dry air is blown in – also after water damage. Becker names SV and VASF for this.
Applications
Construction: what vacuum pumps are used for
For each application: what the vacuum does and which series the manufacturers name for it. The information comes from the manufacturers’ own pages.
Vacuum lifters, panel handling and tunnel segments
In automated lifting and transferring, the pump generates the negative pressure for the suction cups. Becker names side channel blowers for tube and column lifters (SV: 195 to 1,250 m³/h, −290 to −440 mbar) and claw vacuum pumps for robotic pick & place (BCV 100: 50 mbar, BCV 300: 150 mbar), with press feeding and panel storage as examples. Becker lists the handling of tunnel segments without a description; a case study on pick & place names 20,000 maintenance-free operating hours.

Screed insulation drying
Moist air is extracted from the insulation layer and dry air is blown in – Becker also names this for drying after water damage and lists its SV and VASF side channel blowers for it. Becker lists the evacuation of drying systems and drying in autoclaves without a description.
Pneumatic conveying of cement, lime and pellets
A pressure difference in pipelines moves powder, granulate, semi-finished and finished goods. Becker names series from its entire range for this – from VT and VX through KVT, KVX, VTLF and VXLF to BCV, SV and VASF as well as the KDT and DTLF compressors – and lists the conveying of cement and lime, of pellets and wood chips, and pneumatic tube systems without further description.
Blast air: ready-mixed plaster, inliner rehabilitation, foam concrete
Compressors build up pressure and supply process air for blowing in and blowing out; Becker names its KDT and DTLF compressors as well as SV and VASF for this. Becker lists the application of ready-mixed plaster with blast air, the inliner rehabilitation of drainage systems and foam concrete production as applications, without describing them.

Selection
Construction: choosing a vacuum pump
What the manufacturers highlight for use in this industry.
Lifting: side channel or claw
Becker separates by task: side channel blowers (SV, 195 to 1,250 m³/h, −290 to −440 mbar) for tube and column lifters, claw vacuum pumps (BCV 100: 50 mbar, BCV 300: 150 mbar) for robotic pick & place. The load and the vacuum the suction cups need determine the choice.
Moisture and water
In screed drying, moist air is extracted; in groundwater lowering, an air-water mixture. For screed insulation drying, Becker names SV and VASF; for groundwater lowering, Becker describes the task but names no series.
Vacuum or pressure
Pneumatic conveying works with a pressure difference in the pipeline, blast air with compressors that supply process air (KDT, DTLF). For both, Becker also names SV and VASF – the application decides which side of the pressure difference is used.
Frequently asked questions
Construction: frequently asked questions about vacuum pumps
Which vacuum pump is suitable for the construction industry?
Becker names vacuum and blast air for construction sites and, for this, VT, VX, KVT, KVX, VTLF, VXLF, BCV, SV, VASF, KDT and DTLF. Atlas Copco lists construction for AWS, AWD and AWL without describing the tasks. Which series fits depends on whether the task is lifting, drying, conveying or blowing.
Which vacuum pump for vacuum lifters and panel handling?
Becker names side channel blowers of the SV series for tube and column lifters (195 to 1,250 m³/h, −290 to −440 mbar) and BCV claw vacuum pumps for robotic pick & place (BCV 100: 50 mbar, BCV 300: 150 mbar). As examples, Becker names press feeding and panel storage; a case study on pick & place names 20,000 maintenance-free operating hours.
Which blower for screed insulation drying?
Moist air is extracted and dry air is blown in – also after water damage. Becker names the SV and VASF side channel blowers for this.
Which pump for the pneumatic conveying of cement and lime?
A pressure difference in pipelines moves powder, granulate, semi-finished and finished goods. Becker lists the conveying of cement and lime as well as of pellets and wood chips and names series from its entire range for pneumatic conveying, including VT, VX, KVT, KVX, VTLF, VXLF, BCV, SV, VASF, KDT and DTLF.
Which compressor for ready-mixed plaster and foam concrete?
Compressors build up pressure and supply process air; Becker names KDT, DTLF, SV and VASF, and in its range also BCP. Becker lists the application of ready-mixed plaster with blast air, the inliner rehabilitation of drainage systems and foam concrete production as applications.
Which vacuum pump for groundwater lowering?
An air-water mixture is extracted so that the excavation stays dry – this is how Becker describes it, but names no series for it. Atlas Copco lists construction for AWS, AWD and AWL, also without a description. We will clarify the right pump with you in a conversation.
How much vacuum do suction cups on vacuum lifters need?
For side channel blowers on tube and column lifters, Becker names −290 to −440 mbar at 195 to 1,250 m³/h, and for claw vacuum pumps 50 mbar (BCV 100) or 150 mbar (BCV 300). More vacuum per suction cup area holds more load – which level is needed depends on the suction cup and the workpiece.
Which vacuum pump for handling tunnel segments?
Becker lists the handling of tunnel segments under pick & place without describing it; for pick & place, Becker names KVT, VT and SV as well as the DT, KL and SK families, and for vacuum lifters SV and BCV.
Does Ehrler & Beck also supply spare parts and service?
Yes. Ehrler & Beck offers original spare parts and accessories as well as maintenance and repair.
