Vacuum pump issues
Thread Content
The unit uses a 2x-15 rotary vane vacuum pump for vacuuming, and often small impurities such as oil and gas end up inside the pump; these cannot be filtered out, which leads to frequent damage to the vacuum pumps. About ten pumps get damaged each year, which is quite troublesome. I’m not sure how to solve this issue. Is there anyone who can help analyze this?
In other words, the working medium conditions of the vacuum pump need to be improved, which requires finding solutions through the purification and filtration of the material medium before the vacuum pump. Another point is whether an alternative type of vacuum pump can be used in place of the current one; rotary vane pumps inherently have problems with mechanical wear due to friction. It’s better to start with the selection of the pump first. If nothing else works, I’ll study medium purification. You can find out the types of vacuum pumps available by searching online.
You’re absolutely right; purification basically doesn’t work – I’ve tried many methods with no success. It’s about making the right selection – I’m not very familiar with it. Even if I get a set of units, I might not know how to use them. Are there any successful cases? Could a pro recommend one?
To solve the problem, it is recommended to switch to a different model of vacuum pump
I know I’m not familiar with product selection, so I’d like to ask
You don’t need to choose a model on your end, as the pump you use will provide the necessary equipment parameters. The key question is whether you can accept the price of a dry pump
Please provide the plan and price; we need to discuss it
1. Consider the required vacuum level; 2. Check whether there is a suitable type of vacuum pump; 3. Take into account the impact of the material properties on the equipment components. These factors should be considered when selecting a vacuum pump
To understand your basic process parameters, we can provide you with vacuum solutions and prices
We evacuate 14 columns; each pair of columns is evacuated using a 2X-15 rotary vane vacuum pump, with a total of 7 such pumps. These pumps become unusable after a few months of operation, as small particles and substances similar to oil accelerate their wear. The filtering devices we use are not effective. Each pump has an evacuation rate of 15 L/s, and its maximum pressure capacity is around 10 Pa. It would be better to have one complete unit for this purpose – a foreline pump with a water ring mechanism to handle any dirt, along with a rotary vane pump. The annual cost is around 15,000
