Innovation in maple syrup production: Busch Vacuum Innovation Award
Innovative by nature, we were the first to integrate and develop the potential of vacuum pump technology in maple syrup production, so much so that in late 2018, Ayhan, Sami and Kaya Busch hosted our founder, Donald Lapierre, and his family at the headquarters in Maulburg, Germany.
The Busch family then presented them with an award that it only gives once a year to one of its international customers: the Busch Vacuum Innovation Award. This award is given to a company that has applied vacuum technology in its field of activity with innovative means.
R5 and Mink pumps: a performance factor for maple syrup producers
Several factors explain the increased performance of the maple syrup industry. Among them, our experts and producers agree that BUSCH pumps are a key factor. German products are clearly recognized for their superior performance and design.
Thus, the R5 and MINK pumps are no exception to the rule, first coming to the market for their interesting performance properties and operational reliability. R5, a rotary valve pump with oil recovery reaching 29.9 in/Hg, is also sought after for its robust construction. MINK, a dry-hook pump with a simplified construction, is attractive for its efficiency and low maintenance requirements.
