Has anyone ever replaced the venturi vaccum pump on the CP45 or other series machine? Or used a centralized vaccum system? It works fine, but air consumption seems excessive.

This is what is in there, it probably uses 10cfm at least. https://www.piab.com/en-us/vacuum-pumps-and-ejectors/decentralized-vacuum-ejectors/0223798/#specifications

A follow up, using an external vacuum pump works fine, and reduces load on the air compresssor, probably using 1/3 of the air.
