Why use a Dry Vacuum Pump?

Dry Vacuum pumps are not only environmentally friendly and are low on emissions, but they also help enhance the productivity of manufacturing facilities, by improving the yield of the product being produced. They provide a unique benefit of product collection at the discharge of the pump, without any contamination. 

Known for their faster pump-downs, these dry vacuum pumps have higher operational volumetric efficiency, and are also compact in size offering a reduced footprint. Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps (DSVPs) typically don't need auxiliary support pumps and generate faster and deeper vacuum levels.  

In short, they are the future of vacuum technology.

What's a Dry Vacuum Pump? 

A pump is defined as a DRY Vacuum Pump when the pump's functional area (pumping chamber), is completely dry/oil-free, and there is absolutely no sealing fluid (Oil/Water) used. As the name suggests, Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps do not use any fluid to create a vacuum. This reduces the possibility of process gas contamination or the production of effluent.  

There are often clear savings in running and maintenance costs for dry vacuum pumps when compared with wet vacuum pumps. 

The pump can also be used to recover uncondensed vapor (carry over vapor), of the solvent.

Dry Vacuum Pumps:

Dry Vacuum Pumps, by virtue of their construction and metallurgy, therefore become the preferred choice for pumping some of the most aggressive process gasses or vapors in the Chemical and Process Industry and are amongst the best suited for handling such vapors in processes like distillation, solvent recovery and crystallization.
 
Type of Dry Vacuum Pumps: 

1. Roots Vacuum Pump 
2. Dry Screw Vacuum Pump 
3. Dry Claw Vacuum Pump 
4. Dry Scroll Vacuum Pump  

Although there might exist many more pump combinations, these are the principle different design categories.

Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps – A Focus on Construction

There are two (2) screw rotors that rotate within a cylinder that makes up a Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps. The gas is trapped between the cylinder and the screw chambers and transported to the gas discharge.
To create a vacuum, it is important that the screws are kept in close proximity, typically with paper thin clearances. 

Due to these tight tolerances, there is a tendency for the product vapor to solidify or polymerize within the pump which can lead to choking/ jamming. 

Suitable precautions and safeties for this can be installed to ensure that the process material that enters the pump does not lead to solidification within the pumps. The pump should be operated at an optimum running temperature so as to minimize the condensation within the pump. Pump internals are either coated or made of special alloy steel to prevent the pump from any type of damage when pumping toxic vapors.

Pre-Commissioning, if done properly, can also ensure long product lifecycle with trouble free operation. These pumps have very few contact components and thus Dry Vacuum Pumps see minimal wear and tear, which drastically improves and enhances the meantime between failures for such pumps.

Since the whole technology is indigenously designed and patented, the dependence on any third party is non-existent, and we have a 100% success ratio of ensuring the pump operates to its full potential for continued operation for many years. We can also offer 100% service and rebuilding of the pump with the shortest downtime possible. This whole ecosystem was built for our customers to ensure that we can deliver impeccable service.
