Many industries need the work of a pump to get the job done. In the same manner, there are also plenty of pumps out there that can do a broad range of functions. A rotary vane vacuum pump is a type of pump that is proven so useful in various situations across different fields. This type of pump is found to be very valuable in completing the works in the automotive, medical and chemical laboratories, and in many other industries.
A rotary vane vacuum pump follows the principle of positive-displacement to move the medium that passes through its pumping chamber. As its name suggests, there are a couple of vanes inside the pump that are mounted into the rotating rotor. The rotor is being offset right in the center of the chamber to produce eccentricity. Every time the rotor spins, the vanes are forced to move in and out the slotted rotor via centrifugal force. It is the vanes that seal on the housing, creating vane chambers that are increasing in volume when the medium moves onto the intake side of the pump.
In the meantime, the pumping chambers are then filled with fluid through the pressure created or forced into it from the ambient atmosphere. Also, the volume in vane chambers is decreasing on the discharge side of the rotary vane vacuum pump. This then forces the fluid out the chamber and eventually out of the pump. During each pumping rotation, the volume of fluid being released by the vane is the same.
What really makes the pump flexible is the varied length and depth of the vanes that can be used during pumping operations. This produces different pumping volume and sizes, making it useful for many fields. You can even customize it in a manner that it perfectly suits your application no matter what industry you are in.
