Description
RXA-100
The Republic RXA-100 is an Oil Lubricated Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump capable generating vacuum levels of ~29in HgV at flows of 70cfm. The RXA-100 utilizes phenolic vane technology generate high vacuum with exceptional reliability. Republic’s Oil Lubricated Rotary Vane Pumps create the vacuum levels required for demanding applications as industrial hold-down, material handling, medical vacuum, and food/meat packaging.
The RX series is used in a variety of industries such as meat packaging, food processing, thermoforming, composites, medical, laboratory, vacuum cooling, robotics, degassing, and autoclaves.

| WORKING PRINCIPLE | |
|---|---|
| Rotary vane pumps consist of a cylindrical housing (1), eccentrically positioned rotor (2), and numerous free-moving vanes (4). The vanes are placed in the slots of the rotor (3) and, as the rotor turns, the centrifugal force throws the vanes against the cylindrical wall, creating a chamber between the rotor and the cylinder (7). The chamber volume changes as the rotor turns. From the inlet port (5), the chamber volume enlarges, and then decreases towards the outlet port (6). As air enters the inlet port (5) and the chamber enlarges (7), the vanes create a vacuum. As the air is pushed through the chamber and it becomes compressed, pressure is produced at the outlet port (6). |
