As easy as it would make all of our lives, vacuum pumps are far from being “one size fits all”. Not only do you have the size to consider when choosing a vacuum pump, but more importantly type. I will briefly touch on some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each vacuum technology we deal with. This should give you a better understanding of where to begin your search.
Many of these advantages and disadvantages may already help you eliminate some choices based solely on the environment your pump will be operating in. If water is a costly utility in your area or consistent water pressure is a concern, you may want to eliminate liquid ring pumps from your selection choices altogether. If water is not a concern, but noise and vibration levels are, we may actually lean towards the liquid ring as a good fit for your application.
Look at that! We’re already narrowing your search down by eliminating options simply based on the operating environment. Here are some other questions to keep in mind when searching for the right pump for you…
The Ash Air range of rotary claw vacuum pumps is the best alternative to rotary vane pumps. A vacuum claw pump is virtually zero maintenance and compared to rotary vane pumps can work at vacuum levels of 400 to 1000 mbar without overheating. Rotary claw vacuum pumps are the best choice for CNC guided wood routers.
