COVAL: Intelligent Vacuum for Industrial Automation
Scott Equipment Company partners with COVAL, a global manufacturer of vacuum components and intelligent vacuum pumps engineered specifically for industrial automation.
COVAL’s vacuum technology is designed to reduce compressed air consumption, simplify installation, and improve process reliability. Rather than treating vacuum as a passive utility, COVAL focuses on controlled generation, adaptive air usage, and—when required— integrated communication capabilities.

Why Intelligent Vacuum Matters in Modern Automation
In many facilities, compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities. Traditional vacuum systems often operate continuously, regardless of actual holding demand. This results in higher energy consumption and limited visibility into system performance.
Reduced Air Consumption
Air-saving regulation and control reduce unnecessary compressed air usage.
Improved Reliability
Stable vacuum generation improves repeatability and reduces missed picks.
Simplified Integration
Compact, integrated designs eliminate external regulators and switches.
Core Technologies: ASR & ASC
COVAL’s intelligent vacuum pumps use two primary air-saving technologies:
ASR (Air Saving Regulator)
- Optimizes supply pressure to improve venturi efficiency. Ideal for general automation and porous material handling.
- Porous materials typically operate around 30-55% vacuum.
ASC (Air Saving Control)
- Actively monitors and adjusts air usage based on vacuum demand. Strong fit for airtight applications.
- Airtight materials can operate effectively at 5-80% vacuum.
Communicating Vacuum Systems
Advanced models such as LEMAX IO and LEMCOM provide IO-Link and industrial fieldbus communication, enabling real-time monitoring and remote configuration.
