There are a number of pump designs made which can generate high or ultra-high vacuums. Each of these types operates using either the gas-transfer or gas-capture principle. A summary of all the types ...

Mechanical pumps generate vacuum by acting on the viscous properties of the gas or fluid being evacuated using mechanical devices such as pistons, claws, scrolling spirals, and diaphragms. Mechanical ...

Vacuum technology underpins nearly every process in plastics manufacturing. From extrusion and compounding to drying, thermoforming, and recycling. For decades, liquid ring vacuum pumps (LRPs) were ...

Pilots must prioritize proactive maintenance and a thorough understanding of their aircraft's pneumatic systems, adhering to manufacturer schedules (even beyond legal minimums) to prevent common ...

Vacuum pumps are used in dozens of laboratory applications, including filtration, evaporation, degassing, drying/ freeze drying, metals/materials processing, coating, and distillation. Vacuum pumps ...

Single-stage and multi-stage vacuum pumps have been around for quite some time, but some designers and engineers remain unsure about when to use one versus the other. For example, which pump is best ...
