Product information and vacuum pump technical notes
Product information and technical notes on vacuum pump selection, installation and maintenance.
The notes draw on our engineering practice and published product data; unverifiable figures are not quoted. If there is a topic you would like covered, contact us.
Oil-sealed vaneWet process gas needs the ballast open; the cost is ultimate pressure. V0630B, V0040A-V0100 and 2V80 figures show the three settings and when to switch.
Oil-free vaneInlet filtration, cooling and vane wear are the three checks that matter.
Selection & matchingDecide on cleanliness requirement, maintenance capability and the gas handled.
Operation & serviceRating, position and replacement interval set chamber life.
Selection & matchingCapacity, pressure, gas, duty, supply and envelope — miss one and the model can be wrong.
Oil-free vaneNo oil in the exhaust, maintenance concentrated on filters and wear parts, and the duties where they do not fit.
Oil-free vaneHow rotor, vanes and discharge valve create suction, and what wear shows up first.
Operation & serviceLocation, piping, exhaust conditions, and the checklist and fault order at first run.
Selection & matchingSize lines on flow, keep runs short, and never let a valve be smaller than the pump port.
Operation & serviceVibration-damped mounting, flexible pipe sections, silenced exhaust, and noise figures checked model by model.
Roots & systemsAdd a booster when a large volume of gas must be moved fast, or when flow has to be held at a lower pressure.
Roots & systemsOn a coating floor three chambers often share one pump set in a pump room some distance away. Load, evacuate, coat, vent, unload.
Tell us the required pumping speed, ultimate pressure, gas handled, dust and corrosion conditions, duty cycle and power supply; we will size the model for your process.
