Rotary vane Vacuum Pump

A high vacuum pump, capable of free air displacement of 85 liters per minute (3 cubic feet per minute), and an ultimate vacuum of 25 microns/laboratory conditions.

This rotary vane style high vacuum pump is a two-stage pump with a rotary sliding vane that is capable of producing up to 85 liters per minute (3 cubic feet per minute) of free air displacement. As a direct drive pump, the space needed to house the pump is vastly reduced, and its gas ballast helps to purge moisture from the vacuum system. It features a trap, which greatly reduces the risk of oil being sucked back into the system, if properly maintained.

It has an operating temperature of 30-170F, with an overall oil capacity of 27 ounces (785cc). The pump features a 1/2 horsepower 110V/60Hz motor, capable of generating a pump speed of up to 1725RPM. This model also comes standard with a 2.5 in. diameter, 0 to -30 in. Hg Bourdon-type steel case vacuum gauge that has been securely mounted to the intake valve.

A vacuum pump works in conjunction with a vacuum pump plate to create a partial vacuum inside a container placed open end down on the plate. More than one pump can be used on a project, either in series or in parallel. The direct drive, rotary vane vacuum pump is a positive displacement pump, and is the most commonly used vacuum pump. It has a number of vanes that are mounted to a rotor that rotates within a cavity of the pump, pumping air out of the container to create a partial vacuum.

This vacuum pump ships directly from the manufacturer, and are warrantied to be free of defects in both workmanship and materials by the manufacturer for a period of one year.
