Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps – How It Works
A screw vacuum pump consists of two parallel, screw-shaped rotors, one with a right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread. Both screws turn in the compression housing without friction and at very tight clearances. They are synchronized via a precision gear. The compression housing and the special shape of the screws form the compression chambers.
Due to the opposite rotation of both screws the chamber connected with the suction port is enlarged and the gas is transported into the compression chamber. Then the chamber moves axially from the suction side to the pressure side.
In variable pitch models, the gas is compressed throughout the length of the screw due to the constant variable pitch design, resulting in greater efficiency. On the pressure side the chamber is moved against the axial housing wall and the volume is reduced until the front surface of the screw opens the pressure channel and the pre-compressed gas is discharged through the pressure connection. Cooling is achieved using a water cooled outer chamber.
VSI Twister
Capacities from 71 to 212 cfm, maximum end vacuum 29.917 inHg (0.075 Torr). Continuous variable pitch screws ensure the highest efficiency of operation and energy consumption. Progressive graduation of the screw pitch and maximum sealing thanks to labyrinth, shaft and piston ring seals.
Sealing gas is optional; benefits include low noise, low operating temperatures and can be easily serviced. Designed for industrial applications devoid of aggressive gasses. General industrial applications such as packaging, drying and coating or vacuum furnaces are best served by our VSI range of pumps.
VSB
VSB Chemical Duty – Capabilities on this pump range from 70 – 440 CFM, getting down to an ultimate vacuum of .020 Torr. The standard pump includes top of the line Kalrez O-rings. Heavy duty Niflon coating comes standard on all vacuum surfaces, lengthening the lifespan of the pump when dealing with chemically abrasive products and aggressive pumping speeds.
