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

Key Characteristics

• 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

Applications

SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope); Vacuum ovens & furnaces; Thin-film coating; Vacuum brazing; Metrology & analytical; Medical instruments; Turbo pump backing.

Accessories

• 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
