Vacuum Pumps

Vacuum Pumps

Vacuum pumps are crucial components used in many manufacturing applications today. Their usefulness can be grasped by considering even a partial list of the industries which make use of them today: electron microscopy, photolithography, printing presses, cabinetry fabrication, glass and stone cutting, composite moulding, medical drug manufacturing, food processing and mass spectrometry. This tremendous versatility is due to the fact that vacuum pumps have the capability of removing gas from a sealed volume, so as to create a partial vacuum, after which fluids can rush in to populate the vacuum.

 

Blackhawk Equipment specializes in offering rotary screw vacuum pumps and vacuum air compressors, which are among the most popular types of vacuum equipment used by many of the industries mentioned above and more. Rotary vacuum pumps are those which are oil-sealed and operate on the principle of rotary displacement. When its rotor turns, gas will flow into a suction chamber until it becomes sealed by a vane. Once the interior gas becomes sufficiently compressed, an outlet valve will open. When that valve opens, a small amount of oil enters to lubricate the suction chamber, and to seal the vanes against the housing.

 

As opposed to a rotary vacuum pump, which primarily operates on incompressible liquids, a vacuum air compressor primarily works with gases. The typical operation of a vacuum air compressor has it taking in air from some open environment, and pressurizing that air so it can be used either for mechanical or chemical operations. This type of machine is governed by the ratio of output to input pressure, and by the size of the chamber which is used to pressurize the air. The smaller the chamber, the greater the air pressure which will be generated by the compressor.

 

Blackhawk Equipment is proud to carry vacuum pumps, rotary screw vacuum pumps, vacuum air compressor systems and other related equipment from leading manufacturers including Sullair and Travaini Pumps.
