PFS Pumps is your premier supplier of rotary vane vacuum pumps for all sizes of facilities.
What is a rotary vane vacuum pump?
Simply put, a rotary vane vacuum pump is a pump that enables air to be expanded and compressed inside the pump using sliding vanes in a chamber, thereby creating suction of air through the vessel.
These pumps use positive displacement and can be either oil lubricated or dry running. PFS offers some of the most durable, long lasting rotary vane pumps available with excellent spare parts availability.
Benefits of using an oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump
- Oil sealed – oil creates an extremely effective seal for this type of pump allowing for an ultimate vacuum of up to <0.5 mbar (abs) / 29.9” Hg.V
- Two stage oil lubricated pumps can go as high vacuum as 0.0001 Torr
- Lubrication protects against wear – All moving parts of the pump (blades, rotor, housing and bearings are lubricated with oil which protects them from wear).
- Reduced operating temperature – because oil reduces the friction within the chamber, the pump can operate at a lower temperature.
- Corrosion protection – oil protects pump components from coming in direct contact with gas, thereby protecting the pump from corrosion.
- Cleaning effect – the oil also serves to clean the compressor chamber helping it to last longer and operate at peak performance.
- Oil-water separation is optimized – Premier Fluid Systems offer the superior water and vapor handling oil lubricated vacuum pump on the market, called the HWT series
- These pump have further increased the high water vapour tolerance.
- PFS vacuum oils are the highest quality available in multiple grades to optimize performance and longevity
Other advantages of using rotary vane vacuum pumps include:
- Long lasting components.
- Low noise level.
- Low vibration.
- Reduced maintenance, when properly fitted for application
- Can be used in a wide range of industries and applications.
