Roots Pumping Stations - CombiLine-6

Roots pumps Roots pumps of the HiLobe and OktaLine series can be tailored with different pumping speeds and versions to perfectly meet customers’ requirements. These pumps require a backing pump that is suitable for the application and is adjusted to the gas flow. The gear box and bearings of Roots pumps are separated from the gas pumping chamber. The frictionless pumping action of the pistons means that dry operation is assured. These pumps are therefore ideally suited for low and medium vacuum applications. They are frequently used in chemical and process engineering, the coating and semiconductor...

Roots Pumping Stations - CombiLine-8

Backing pumps Rotary vane pumps Pfeiffer Vacuum rotary vane pumps have been the most popular pumps for generating low and medium vacuum for many years now. They are very durable and robust. Rotary vane pumps belong to the family of displacement pumps and convey a virtually steady lowpulsation volume flow, irrespective of the type of gas used. They work on the principle of an eccentrically supported rotor revolving in a housing and have two or more movable gate valves. Every Pfeiffer Vacuum rotary vane pump is oil-lubricated. Special operating fluids are responsible for insulating and lubricating...
