Rotary Claw Vacuum Pumps
A rotary claw vacuum pump is a type of dry-running positive displacement pump designed for continuous and efficient operation in industrial applications. It works by using two non-contacting, claw-shaped rotors that rotate in opposite directions within a precisely machined chamber. These rotors trap and compress air or gas between the claws and the housing, moving it from the inlet to the outlet without the need for lubrication in the compression chamber.
Key Features:
- Oil-Free Operation: No internal lubrication is required, making it ideal for applications where contamination must be avoided.
- High Efficiency: The claw design allows for continuous vacuum generation with low energy consumption.
- Low Maintenance: Since the rotors do not touch, there is minimal wear and no need for internal seals or lubricants in the compression area.
- Durability: Robust construction and long service intervals make rotary claw pumps reliable even in demanding environments.
Common Applications:
- Packaging
- Pneumatic conveying
- Central vacuum systems
- Printing and paper handling
- Food processing
- Environmental systems (e.g., aeration, wastewater treatment)
Rotary claw vacuum pumps are valued for their clean, reliable, and energy-efficient performance, particularly where a dry and oil-free vacuum is essential.
