Frequently Asked Questions
How do rotary vane pumps achieve a vacuum?
Rotary vane pumps achieve a vacuum by creating expanding chambers when the vanes slide outwards due to the eccentricity of the rotor. This action draws in the gas or fluid from the inlet and then pushes it towards the outlet.
What are the factors to consider while choosing a rotary vane pump?
Selecting the appropriate pump size depends on factors like desired flow rate, vacuum level, operating temperature and the type of fluid being handled.
Is there a way to determine the rotational direction of Procon rotary vane pumps?
Each Procon rotary vane pump has directional arrows (clockwise / counter-clockwise) at the front that represent the rotational direction.
How can I keep oil out of the pumped gas or fluid?
To prevent oil contamination, ensure you use the right type of oil and replace it at regular intervals. Additionally, proper filtration and periodic oil checks are essential to maintain oil cleanliness.
