Articulated Piston The articulated piston vacuum pump utilizes the same operating principle as a conventional car engine piston. The articulated piston transfers rotational energy from a motor pulley into a reciprocating motion used to compress air in a cylinder. As the piston moves down inside the cylinder, air is drawn in through a one-way intake valve. On the upward stroke, this air is exhausted through a one-way exhaust valve. Sealing of the piston to the cylinder is achieved by using two piston rings each backed with a spring to keep them in contact with the cylinder wall. A piston skirt is also used to guide the piston in the cylinder. Vacuum producing pumping technologies, ideally suited to a multitude of industries and applications, providing high reliability and energy efficiency. High quality OEM vacuum pumps. Operating principles include WOB-L piston, diaphragm, rotary vane, articulated piston and linear. Up to 365 l/min flow. Claw Dry running claws generate contact free vacuum or compressed air efficiently and economically. This technology is used in claw pumps, claw vacuums and claw compressors among other machines. They offer process-safe and reliable operation at fairly low noise levels. Typical applications can be found in wood processing, wastewater treatment and the packaging and printing industries. They are also commonly used in pneumatic conveying and central vacuum systems. Claw pumps consists of two rotors. They turn in opposite directions without contact. As the claw moves over the suction connection and the axial suction channel inlet the gas is sucked into the compression chamber. As the rotors revolve, the gas moves from the suction side to the pressure side. Then it is compressed by the reduction of the volume between the rotors until the lower rotor uncovers the discharge channel. This “internal compression” leads to high differential pressures at efficiencies of more than 60%. Afterwards the pre-compressed gas is discharged via the pressure connection. To remove the heat generated by the compression process, cooling air is sucked in between the compression housing and a silencing cover before it leaves the pump. For vacuum pumps we offer seven technologies to choose from: radial, side channel, liquid ring, oil lubricated and dry running rotary vane, rotary lobe, claw and screw.

Welch-Ilmvac provide high quality vacuum pumps and systems for laboratory, life science, chemical, refrigeration and light industrial applications. Liquid Ring Liquid ring pumps and compressors utilize rotating positive displacement technology and are typically used in liquid ring vacuum pump applications, but can also be used as a gas, or liquid ring compressor. These sturdy pumps are built for heavy duty, wet and humid applications where most other pumps' performance will drop due to abrasion and lime scale from the process. The larger liquid ring pumps are often part of engineered systems designed to meet even the highest demands. This is how they work: the impeller rotates friction free within the pump casing. A rotating liquid ring seals the impeller on the front and seals its blades against one another. In order to keep the liquid ring stable, liquid is also permanently sucked into the compression chamber and is output together with the conveyed gas. The excentrical arrangement of the impeller within the casing creates variable compression chambers between the impeller blades during rotation, which causes the conveyed gas to be compressed within a full revolution. Vacuum producing pumping technologies, ideally suited to a multitude of industries and applications, providing high reliability and energy efficiency. Extreme conditions, which prevail in humid and wet processes, lead to lime scale or abrasion, and hence to a considerable reduction in the performance of the pump. Elmo Rietschle liquid ring pumps, however, meet these challenges. Liquid ring vacuum pumps have the features and performance necessary for all demanding applications. Performance range: 20 to 23,000 cfm (34 to 40,000 m³/hr), vacuum levels to 29+" HgV (30 mbar abs). ORVS: Oil vacuum units with liquid ring pump. Pressure up to 10 mbar abs. - Capacity up to 800 m³/h. Vacuum customized systems for the chemical, pharmaceutical and all other process industries, offered by Gieffe Systems. Truck mounted rotary vane and liquid ring vacuum pumps for use in the road tanker industry. Performance range: 70 to 3100 m3/hr. Rotary Vane Rotary Vane pumps and rotary vane compressors cover a wide performance range and come in dry running and oil lubcricated versions. The eco-friendly dry running rotary vanes are robust and economical needing little maintenance. The oil lubricated rotary vanes are the standard pump in numerous industrial applications. In rotary vane technology, the rotor, the only continually moving part, has a number of slots machined along its length into which fit sliding vanes that ride on a film of oil. The rotor rotates within a cylindrical stator. During rotation, centrifugal force extends the vanes from their slots, forming individual compression cells. Rotation decreases the cell volume, increasing the air pressure. Its compact size makes it the ideal choice for customised compressed air and gas applications. otary vane vacuum pumps and compressors operate by compressing volume in order to increase pressure and create vacuum. Flow rates up to 10 cfm (283 l/min), up to 27.2 in.Hg (-930 mbar) Elmo Rietschle offers dry running and oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps which cover a wide performance range. Welch-Ilmvac provide high quality vacuum pumps and systems for laboratory, life science, chemical, refrigeration and light industrial applications. Welch-Ilmvac provide high quality vacuum pumps and systems for laboratory, life science, chemical, refrigeration and light industrial applications. Truck mounted rotary vane and liquid ring vacuum pumps for use in the road tanker industry. Performance range: 70 to 3100 m3/hr. Screw Screw pumps are primarily used in applications across many different industries where clean, oil free vacuum is needed. The dry and contact free operation requires no lubrication in the pumping chamber leading to no process contamination and no pollution caused by the pump operation. In the pump housing, two parallel screw rotors, both timing gear synchronized, turn in opposite directions without friction and at very tight clearances. Gas is compressed in the direction of the discharge port. Cooling is achieved using a water cooled outer chamber. S-Series – The Screw: dry running and low maintenance vacuum pump The S-VSI screw vacuum pump (sizes 100 and 300) represents modern, state-of-the-art dry running technology that excels when it comes to small carbon footprint and low life cycle costs. WOB-L The WOB-L principle has a unitary piston rod that 'wobbles' inside the cylinder as the crankshaft rotates. Unlike the more conventional articulated piston pump, the piston and piston rod are a single item, usually a single casting. The piston rod is mounted to an eccentric bearing assembly, which in turn is mounted to the motor shaft to convert rotary energy from the motor into linear motion of the piston within the cylinder. The piston is sealed to the cylinder by a flanged disk cup that forms both a seal and mechanical guide for the piston. It runs without lubrication in contact with a low friction, surface coated cylinder of high heat conductivity. As the piston is driven up and down, air resistance on the upward stroke expands the disk's seal on the piston against the cylinder wall to increase its efficiency, while compensating for the 'wobble' action.
