Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14196

Overview

The Rotary Vane Pump Test Apparatus is designed to demonstrate the principles of vacuum generation, the operating behavior of a rotary vane pump, and the simulation of leaks in vacuum systems.
Vacuum technology is widely applied in process engineering, vacuum distillation, absorption systems, and vacuum filtration. It enables processes that require the lowering of boiling points, efficient removal of gases, or separation of substances at reduced pressure.

The apparatus includes a rotary vane vacuum pump connected to a steel pressure vessel, which acts as a vacuum chamber. The negative pressure (vacuum) within the vessel can be clearly observed using a large analog manometer.
Two adjustable inlet lines allow for the simulation of system loads and leaks, with one line equipped with a needle valve and a flow meter for quantitative analysis. Silencers are integrated into the lines to reduce noise during operation.

The setup includes an oil separator on the delivery side of the pump to recover oil carried by the exhaust air. The degree of oil separation is exceptionally high (99.98%), ensuring clean discharge and efficient pump operation.
