Screw vacuum pump SCREWLINE SP 250

The Screw Vacuum Pumps SCREWLINE were developed in view of the special requirements of industrial applications. The innovative design allows these pumps to be used whenever reliable, compact and low maintenance vacuum solutions are required. Principle of Operation Screw Vacuum Pumps are dry compressing backing pumps, the operation of which is based on the screw principle. The pumping chamber of the pump is formed by two synchronised positive displacement rotors and the housing enclosing these. Since the rotors rotate in opposite directions, the chambers move steadily from the intake to the exhaust side of the pumps thereby resulting in a smooth pumping action. Since with a single Screw Vacuum Pump rotor pair a multi stage compression process is implemented, the component count in the pumping path is very low. In this way maintenance and servicing work is much simplified. Properties The direct pumping path without multiple deflections for the medium make the Screw Vacuum Pumps highly insensitive to foreign materials. This ensures a high uptime in industrial processes. The two non-contacting shaft-seals are practically wear-free, which allows for very long maintenance intervals. Shaft seal purge is usually required in industrial applications. SCREWLINE pumps are equipped with a purge gas supply unit. Because of the cantilevered bearing arrangement for the Screw Vacuum Pump rotors, a potential source of failure (i.e. a bearing on the intake side) is entirely eliminated. On the one hand, no lubricants from the bearings can enter into the vacuum process, and the other hand also an impairment of the bearing by aggressive process media can be excluded.
