Description
The lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps are used when the intake flow may contain moisture, or when a better final pressure is required.
These pumps may run continuously within certain pressure ranges, or connected to containers to be emptied, whose volume is appropriately sized for the pump flow rate. Long-term use at atmospheric pressure is not recommended.
The lubrification allows this pumps to intake water vapor. To avoid a condensation of the water vapor, the lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps are equipped with the gas ballast, a system that introduces air in the compression stage and changes the vapor saturation pressure thus avoiding the condensation. Into the WR pump version the gas ballast system is improved and reinforced.
MAIN APPLICATION FIELDS







The limited dimensions and the low final pressure (Abs.) attainable are the main features of LC 12 lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump. An effective damping and recovery system in-built in the tank prevents any oil vapors at the exhaust. Moreover, a special sealing device prevents suck-back, should pump be stopped under vacuum. The intake can also be adjusted by the user, thanks to a special fitting.
The LC 12 pump is suitable for evacuation of small closed vessels and for a continuous operation within a pressure range from 400 to 2 mbar (Abs).
The LC 12 pump is equipped with:
- Oil check valve
- Exhaust mist eliminator
- Gravity oil recovery valve
- Thermal protector (1~ only)
- Pack of BV32 oil
Main application fields: filling and sealing machines, food packing and food processing, and production of PET containers.
