A Roots vacuum pump is a positive displacement pump that utilizes intermeshing lobes to create a high volume flow rate at moderate vacuum levels. In powder conveying systems, they act as primary or secondary vacuum pumps, generating the necessary pressure differential to move powders efficiently.
Features:
- High volume flow rate: Handles large volumes of powder efficiently.
- Moderate vacuum levels: Suitable for most powder conveying applications.
- Oil-free operation: Certain models offer oil-free operation, minimizing contamination concerns in food and pharmaceutical industries.
- Durable construction: Engineered for reliable and long-lasting operation.
- Low maintenance: Requires minimal maintenance compared to other pump types.
Uses:
- Pneumatic conveying: Creates the vacuum necessary to transport powders through pipelines in various industries.
- Material loading and unloading: Enables efficient loading and unloading of powders from silos, hoppers, and other vessels.
- Vacuum drying: Can be used in conjunction with other equipment for vacuum drying applications.
- Inert gas purging: Assists in purging air and replacing it with inert gas in various processes
