In the industrial drying sector, manufacturing efficiency and product quality heavily depend on the reliability and performance of vacuum systems. For years, companies have struggled with systems that fail to maintain consistent vacuum levels, consume excessive energy, or require frequent maintenance—issues that directly impact production timelines and operational costs. At Wordfik, with our 18 years of specialized experience in vacuum technology, we understand these challenges intimately and engineer solutions that address them at their core.
In the world of vacuum technology, selection is akin to a precise balancing act. Understanding the differences between dry and oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps marks the first step toward success. In industrial manufacturing, scientific research, and laboratory work, rotary vane vacuum pumps are indispensable equipment. However, making the right choice between the two main types—dry and oil-lubricated—directly impacts work efficiency, operating costs, and process quality.
Choosing the wrong vacuum pump can lead to tens of thousands in additional costs annually. The properties of the process gas are the most critical, yet most frequently overlooked, factor in vacuum system selection. In the design and selection of vacuum systems, traditional parameters like pumping speed and ultimate vacuum often receive the most attention, while the core factor of the gas's chemical composition and physical properties is frequently underestimated. The nature of the gas not only directly affects the pump's suitability but also determines the system's operating cost, maintenance cycle, and final process quality.
