Furthermore, over a period of time continuous contamination of the liquid media inside the pump leads to corrosion and eventually damages pumps’ internal parts. This results in lower overall efficiency of the pump, thereby affecting the process performance. Consequently, users face frequent pump breakdowns and hence spend more on maintenance work.

Dry Vacuum Pumps – An Alternative?

In the late 90‘s, clean process requirements initiated the development of the dry vacuum pumps. The trend to replace lubricated pumps with dry pumps is now spreading over many other market segments. For the pharmaceutical industry, it has been quite easy to understand the benefits of dry pumps, in terms of cost of ownership, process contamination, up-time and effective solvent recovery with practically zero discharge to atmosphere.

Dry vacuum systems are the changing face of technology in the world of process industries and turns out to be efficient, reliable and eco-friendly for pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical industries. The technology offers many advantages over traditional liquid media pumps and finds its application in various process related industries such as distillation, drying, evaporation, crystallization, deodorization, filtration and general purpose vacuum.

Less Contamination, Better Vapor recovery

The major advantage of the dry screw vacuum pumps is that these do not require any fluid (oil/water/steam) for vacuum generation. This eliminates the contamination and provides better recovery of the vapors thus reducing effluent generation. Dry pumps use fewer utilities and hence cut the operational costs as compared to other traditional vacuum pumps. The vacuum levels are highly precise and the volumetric displacements are consistent giving full efficiency in the process.
