The vacuum pump was first invented in 1650. The main function of the vacuum pump is to remove the gas molecules from a sealed volume. Finding the right Vacuum pump for your application is very important.

Industry standard products for vacuum pumps in Australia are Busch Rotary Vane or Gardner Denver Elmo Rietschle V-VC range. These can achieve vacuum levels upto -99Kpawhich are required in day to day industry demands. There are many factors you have to consider when choosing the right vacuum pump, such as

• Where do you begin?
• Do you like to get a single-stage or two-stage?
• Do you need a single-stage or two-stage?
• How much flow should the vacuum pump have?

Above all, do not trap yourself in analysis and paralysis. We have done the deep research on this subject. In this blog, we will discuss the list of different technology vacuum pumps.

Diaphragm Pump

These types of pumps are quiet and durable if you will not use oil or any oil mist. However, this pump can produce a medium level of the vacuum. The diaphragmswill need to be replaced on a regular basis as they may react with the gases being sucked through.

Vacuum Generators

Vacuum generators are slowly being replaced by traditional vacuum pumps. This technology needs an air compressor to operate anduses a venturi pump to create vacuum. These type of vacuum generators are also noisy. Since it is an expensive way to generate vacuum, this is not a preferred technology.

Oil-filled Rotary Vane Pump

This pump can create the best vacuum for the cost. Oil-filled rotary vane pump designed to run continuously for a long period. You will find a lot of options for every budget. These pumps require no additional equipment, and these pumps are easily adaptable to vacuum pressing.

Overall, Oil-filled rotary van pumps are considered the best choice.

Rotary Claw Vacuum Pump

These type of vacuum pumps are dry running vacuum pumps and are becoming very popular in the industry. Busch Mink range of vacuum pumps and Gardner Denver Elmo Rietschle Zephyr claw vacuum pumps are generally recommended for dry process vacuum. Now a days, these vacuum pumps also come with coating on rotors so can be used for wat processes also. These are limited to vacuum level of -85 kpa.

CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute)

The flow on a vacuum pump is designated in CFM or Cubic meters/hour. Capacity of Vacuum pump to be selected will depend on how quickly the pump down of the process is required. We suggest a higher CFM pump if you are evacuating a large volume of air. Gardner Denver Elmo Rietschlehave vacuum pumps ranging from 5m3/hr flow to over 2000 m3/hr. Similarly Busch Rotary vane Series R5 oil sealed vacuum pumps offer similar capacity pumps which can go upto 99.9% vacuum in single stage.

Things you need to care about when buying the pump

1. Ultimate Vacuum

The process requirements dictate whether you will need Carbon vane dry vacuum pump, oil sealed rotary vane vacuum pup or dry running claw vacuum pump. Also you may need single stage (Busch R5 Series or Gardner Denver V-VC Series) or two stage vacuum pump (Welch vacuum).

Other Factors

Vacuum filtration is an important component of the successful lab. Nowadays, these products have become the heart of many laboratory processes. The upfront cost compared to lifetime cost is another important factor that requires consideration.
