Vacuum Booster
Airvac Mechanical Vacuum Booster Pumps: ignite performance with turbocharged pumping speed—vapour removal 10× faster. Unleash an ultimate vacuum 10× lower than standalone pumps. The industry’s powerhouse for enhanced efficiency and unrivalled productivity.
Description
Airvac Mechanical Vacuum Booster Pumps enhance the performance, ultimate vacuum, and pumping speed of oil-sealed, water-ring, or dry vacuum mechanical pumps used across industries. An Airvac Roots-style vacuum booster paired with a suitable backing pump improves pump-down in two key ways:
- The high pumping speed of the booster quickly removes dry gases and desorbing water vapour—up to 10× faster.
- The lowest pressure (ultimate vacuum) of the combination is one decade better—10× lower—than the backing pump alone.
- Suction capacity: 260 m³/hr to 5,250 m³/hr
- Maximum vacuum: 0.001 Torr
Features
- Entirely mechanical, lightweight, compact design
- Pump-down times cut by up to 50%
- High operating speeds with dynamically balanced rotors and helical ground gears for long life and quiet operation
- Mount separately from the backing pump or directly on its inlet
- Unique impeller design for high volumetric efficiency
- Compatible with all vacuum systems
- Efficient and robust design
- Suitable for gases such as air, town gas, natural gas, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and inert gases
- Temperature-insensitive labyrinth sealing for effective leakage control
- High-precision chemical timing gears for reliability and long life
- Overhung V-belt drive for all operating pressure ranges (direct coupling also possible)
- Dynamically balanced rotating components for vibration-free operation
- Machine shaft height matched with standard IEC motor frame size
- Solid, noise-absorbing grey cast-iron construction
Advantages
- High vacuum of the order of 0.001 Torr or better
- High pumping speeds at low pressures; capacity boosted 8–10× or more
- Relatively low power consumption for the performance gain
- Considerable reduction in pump-down time of vacuum machines
- Prevents oil back-streaming from rotary pumps
- Dry pumping suitable for gas and vapour loads
