Vane Pumps
Vane Pumps
Typical vane pumps are used for vacuum smelting, packaging, distilling, refrigeration, freeze dryers, and air conditioning. High-performance “Cruiser” models can be used in metrology and surface analysis.
Pumps feature a gas ballast and are built to vigorous performance standards. The “Cruiser” series is the top of the line for both quality and durability at an affordable price, and is 100% tested before shipment.
Cruiser Series – Highlights & Applications
• 2-stage direct-drive motor for any voltage (see specification)
• Gas ballast to keep oil clean and remove moisture / vapor
• Anti-suck-back valve to prevent oil back-streaming
• Single-phase motor with thermal protection
• Large, easy-to-see sight glass ensures proper oil level
• 18-month warranty for operation in clean environments
• Optional trap and oil mist eliminator
• Extremely quiet; virtually vibration-free
• Larger oil capacity keeps pump cooler and reduces thermal degradation

Notes: “—” indicates data not provided in the current sheet.

• Trap – minimizes back-streaming of oil vapor to the vacuum chamber during power failure
• Oil Mist Eliminator – keeps oil mist off the exhaust port and recirculates back to the reservoir
• Angle Valve – keeps pump at high vacuum when the chamber is vented for service
