Elmo Rietschle VC-100 vacuum pump is a positive-displacement pump ideal for lowering the pressure inside the chamber or closed environment. Its oil-lubricated design allows these pumps to self-compensate for wear, leading to lower maintenance requirements and prolonged peak. This rotary vane pump is used in industrial applications, such as packaging, medical suction, thermoforming of plastic parts, pick-and-place applications and water treatment in the environmental protection industry.
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 has a flange motor directly coupled to the pump for streamlined operation.
- This pump has bearings on both sides of the rotor for stability and longevity.
- It includes oil and air heat exchangers preventing overheating and maintaining performance.
- This vacuum pump offers a gas ballast valve, maintaining the oil's integrity and extending the pump's operational life.
- It comes with a fine mesh filter that effectively traps particles and contaminants from entering the pump system.
Compatible Accessories:
- Elmo Rietschle 75175001 Vacuum Pump Oil: This 100 ISO viscosity grade oil allows smooth operation and reduced wear on the system.
- 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.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What type of finishing does this Elmo Rietschle VC-100 vacuum pump have?
A. This pump has a paint finish for a smooth surface and aesthetics.
Q. What is the difference between a roughing and a high vacuum pump?
A. Roughing pumps are used to achieve relatively low vacuum levels, while high vacuum pumps are designed to achieve very low-pressure levels close to or at a perfect vacuum.
Q. How do I troubleshoot common issues with this Elmo Rietschle VC-100 vacuum pump?
A.
- Inspect the pump and its connections for any signs of leaks, such as oil or air escaping.
- Look for any worn or damaged seals and gaskets that may be causing leaks or reducing efficiency.
- Check the oil levels in the pump reservoir and inspect the oil for any signs of contamination or degradation.
- Verify that the pump is receiving power and operating according to its specifications.
Q. How do I determine the appropriate size of vacuum pump for my application?
A. To determine the right size of a vacuum pump for your application, consider factors like the volume of the vacuum system, desired evacuation rate and required ultimate vacuum level. Seeking guidance from a vacuum pump supplier or engineer can assist in finding the suitable size for your specific requirements.
