Henkovac vacuum packaging machines are widely used throughout the food processing, meat packaging, catering and food manufacturing industries. Known for their robust construction and reliable operation, Henkovac machines are installed in butcher shops, food production facilities, commercial kitchens and industrial packaging plants throughout Europe and beyond.
Many Henkovac vacuum packaging machines are equipped with Busch vacuum pumps, making regular servicing and maintenance essential to ensure consistent packaging quality and production reliability. Henkovac confirms that its machine ranges utilise Busch vacuum pumps across the product portfolio.
VacAir supplies replacement vacuum pumps, service kits, filters, oil separators, vacuum pump oil, spare parts and repair services for many vacuum pumps fitted to Henkovac packaging machinery.
Whether you require emergency breakdown support, routine maintenance parts or a complete replacement vacuum pump, our experienced team can help identify the correct solution.

From small farms and artisan producers to household-name food brands, VacAir supports food manufacturers with vacuum pumps, servicing, spare parts and technical expertise.
Henkovac packaging machines rely on oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps to achieve the deep vacuum levels required for food packaging. Many machines are equipped with Busch R5 vacuum pumps, which are commonly used throughout the packaging industry. As the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP vacuum pumps, VacAir can also supply DVP LC series pumps, which provide a proven alternative for many packaging applications and replacement projects.
VacAir can support Henkovac users with:
Whether you operate a standalone chamber machine or a larger packaging line, VacAir understands how critical reliable vacuum performance is to food production. When a vacuum pump suddenly fails or can o longer achieve the required vacuum level, the result can be production downtime, delayed orders, wasted labour and dissatisfied customers.
Our team provides rapid technical support, replacement pumps and repair solutions to help get your packaging operation back up and running as quickly as possible.
If your Busch pump has lost vacuum, started oil misting, become noisy, tripped out, overheated or stopped completely, VacAir provides rapid-response UK-wide Busch pump breakdown support to restore performance quickly.
Send us the pump model, machine details or photographs and our technical team will help identify suitable replacement pumps, parts or repair options.
