Maintenance of Dry Vacuum Pumps

The maintenance of these dry systems are quite easy as compared to the traditional pumps. The absence of fluid for vacuum generation eliminates the need of frequent checking for contamination. These pumps use oil only for lubrication of gears, which need to be checked over the prescribed period of time depending upon the properties of lube oil used. Moreover, as there are no rubbing parts inside the pump, there is not much to be taken care of in the inside and hence the pump provides for trouble free working over years.

Additional Information

The Benefits of Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps

Better vacuum level

Distillation temperature is reduced

Nil steam consumption, thereby reduction of load on boiler, plant and allied equipment

Load on cooling tower reduced drastically

Load on effluent treatment plant is reduced

Reduced energy consumption by 30 - 35 per cent

Zero start up time with option of quick start and stop

No vacuum fluctuation during feeding and circulation in the process

No loss of solvent i.e.100 per cent solvent recovery enabled

Maintenance cost minimized as the dry pump offers robust solutions

Why Dry Vacuum Pumps Can be More Reliable

The absence of a rubbing part does not only reduce maintenance but also eradicates the possibility of any breakdown. For e.g., Everest Blowers provides pump internals with PFA coating of 60p, which enables the pump to handle corrosive and harsh gases passing through as a carryover to the process. Thus, in case of any condensation taking place inside the pump, there will not be any problem of cavitations, leading to longer life of the pump and trouble free operation even in mildly corrosive applications.
