Vacuum Systems (Dry Vane Type)
Simple, robust and efficient dry-running vacuum system ideally suited to VRTM processes.
This type of vacuum system is not adversely affected by air-admittance during the moulding process (‘rough’ vacuum), unlike oil-lubricated pumps which despite achieving higher levels of vacuum, can vent oil vapour if used in this type of application. Available as a stand-alone pump or in a range of configurations.
Features include:
- High-output and oil-free rotary vane vacuum pump
- Range of rated outputs with a maximum vacuum level of 100 - 150 mbar (absolute)
- Fitted with a replaceable cartridge filter to prevent dust and fibre entering the pump
- Running time approximately 4000 - 8000 hours between service intervals
- Range of configurations available to suit single or multi-mould operations

To specify a configuration, use the vacuum system part number followed by the required option numbers, separated by a hyphen:
e.g. XV-0100-04-11-21 specifies a 40 m³/hr vacuum system with the three-phase option, full switching control and a large reservoir.
