Elmo Rietschle VCB-20 vacuum pump is an oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump that provides a flow capacity of 13.0 CFM (cubic feet per minute). It is ideal for lowering the pressure inside a closed environment. This rotary vane pump is used in packaging, medical suction and pick-and-place applications.
Working Mechanism:
- The pump draws in air or gas through its intake port.
- Air or gas undergoes compression within the pump, thus increasing its pressure.
- The compressed air or gas comes into contact with oil within the pump, causing the oil to trap contaminants and lubricate moving parts.
- Now compressed air or gas is free of contaminants and is expelled through the pump's exhaust port.
Features:
- It features a gas ballast valve for managing and controlling gas flow within the vacuum system.
- This pump has Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC) housing for ingressing dust and airborne particles.
- It has an oil separator mechanism to efficiently separate oil from the extracted air.
Compatible Accessories:
- Elmo Rietschle 475 Exhaust Filter: It serves to intercept small particles and pollutants before they are released into the environment. This filter is positioned at the vacuum pump's outlet to dampen exhaust noise, ensuring a cleaner and quieter operation.
- Elmo Rietschle 75175001 Vacuum Pump Oil: This 100 ISO viscosity grade oil allows smooth operation and reduced wear on the system.
