Vacuum pumps: low power makes the difference
Air or steam ejectors seem to offer a cheap and simple alternative to a vacuum pump, but be careful: they're one example of how the UK's Climate Change levy changes economic balances
First claw pump for pressure/vacuum in one stage
Rietschle's Zephyr multi-claw series are highly efficient, dry-running pressure/vacuum pumps, air compressors, and vacuum pumps, with applications across industry.
It's a highly efficient design with lower running temperatures and up to 30% savings on power consumption, compared with standard screw sets.
A presentation on the pump is available on a novel, credit card sized CD-ROM.
Offering high ultimate vacuum, and available in models from 70 up to 2200m3/h capacity, the non-contact, dry-running operation of the Twister VSB range makes it particularly suitable for thin layer evaporation and coating processes where clean, oil-free vacuum is needed.
Although the range meets temperature class T4 both externally and internally, it can also be fitted with an inverter for even cooler pumping duties.
Dry-running operation precludes process contamination and environmental pollution, and the Twister VSB range is fitted with rugged mechanical and gas barrier (optional) seals.
The pumps have very high liquid tolerance.
For instance the VSB430 can pump up to 1000 l/h continuously, at full speed: a feature that is also useful for internal cleaning in place, using process compatible solvent or steam.
Nodular cast iron pump chambers and screws are corrosion-proofed by coating them with PTFE, nickel (20 microns), or PFA.
