Vacuum Pumps and systems for demanding processes

Liquid ring vacuum pumps and vacuum systems from HERMETIC

Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps for gases and vapours

The HERMETIC liquid ring vacuum pump operates on the tried-and-tested positive displacement principle. An eccentrically mounted impeller forms a circulating liquid ring with the operating liquid. This creates cells of varying volume between the vanes, which draw in, compress and convey gases and vapours.

As there are no components in contact within the pumping chamber and no lubrication is required, the pump operates particularly robustly, quietly and with low vibration. It is ideally suited to humid, condensing and demanding process gases, particularly in the chemical and process engineering sectors.

In a hermetic design with a magnet driven or a canned motor, it also enables leak-free and safe operation, even with toxic, explosive or emission-critical media.

Vacuum systems (package units) as a ready-to-connect, turnkey solution 

HERMETIC vacuum units are compact, ready-to-connect system solutions for demanding processes in research, design and production. All essential components are integrated into a single package unit in a space-saving and service-friendly design – from the Vacuum Pump or compressor, through liquid separators, heat exchangers and condensers, to valves and pipework.

When combined with hermetically sealed pumps, this creates a hermetically sealed system with an absolutely leak-tight ring liquid circuit. This reliably prevents leaks and safely contains emissions. Corrosive, toxic or condensable gases and vapours can be conveyed, cooled, condensed and, where required, recovered in a controlled manner.

The result is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly and technically sophisticated solution for modern vacuum and process technology.

Advantages

Easy to maintain

Compact design for simple, quick and cost-effective maintenance.

Hermetically sealed

Leak-free operation with a Magnet coupling or canned motor for maximum process reliability.

Reliable in operation

Quieter, low-vibration and low-wear operation thanks to the contact-free design in the conveying chamber.

Minimal gas heating

Gentle compression achieved through the continuous heat transfer of the operating liquid.
