Booster/Rotary Piston Vacuum Pumping Systems

Pump high volumes at very low pressure. High-capacity dry rotary lobe vacuum booster is matched to a smaller rotary piston vacuum pump. For continuous operation below 1 Torr (1.3 mbar a), the vacuum booster can increase pumping speed by a factor of 10 or more. For operation at higher pressure and for faster evacuations, the booster may be approximately twice the capacity of the piston pump. Performance ranges 200-12,000 CFM (340-20,388 m3/h) with ultimate vacuum levels as low as 0.2 microns. Conventional systems with direct driven or V-belt driven boosters. Low-profile systems with close-coupled boosters are available. Creates a higher capacity system with economy of scale.
