Mid-tech is a leading distributor of Elmo Rietschle rotary vane vacuum pumps. These rotary vane pumps are renowned for their ease of operation, low noise level and long uptime, allowing your operations to run efficiently. Elmo Rietschle’s V-Series combines time-tested, unrivalled technology with reliable materials to guarantee high-quality equipment suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

They work due to rotations of vanes which are mounted onto a rotor, enabling them to effectively pump air, gas, oil and other liquids through the system. This categorises them as positive-displacement pumps as the compression of the air inside the pump chamber is able to create suction. It’s this suction that allows for the removal of air molecules from an area.

The V-Series Range:

The V-Series is split into two high-performance models, a dry running and an oil lubricated rotary vane pump. The dry running system is an entirely oil-free rotary vane pump, eliminating any risk of oil contamination, which can have detrimental impacts on your operations. To combat this risk, Elmo Rietschle has innovated a market-leading oil-water separation technology within their oil-lubricated model, reducing any potential contact with oil. Whilst the dry running models are more eco-friendly, there are some benefits of using oil to lubricate vane systems. This is because lubricant acts as a seal preventing any signs of wear or corrosion and acts as a cleaner for the compressor chamber. It, therefore, prevents any damage to your pump life and performance. This being said, both models promise the same high level of reliability and durability even against more challenging working conditions; it depends on your preference and operations!

The Benefits of Elmo Rietschle Rotary Vane Pumps:

• Low noise & vibration levels guarantee minimal workplace disruption
• Easy to maintain & a long service life to ensure cost efficiency
• Adaptable to a varied range of industries and applications

Uses & Applications:

These rotary vane pumps are useful to various industries, one of which is the automotive industry, where they are used to pressurise hydraulic fluid within power-steering systems. Oil lubricated rotary vane pumps are also popular in the laboratory industry for processes such as crystallisation, degassing, vacuum filtration and distillation drying. Within the food beverage processing industry, rotary vane pumps are used in equipment as a fundamental part of their operations. The pumps help to pressurise fluid and move it along the system. Rotary vane pumps are also used within the industrial sector for dust extraction, drying and furnaces. Again the rotations of the vane enable the pumps to move liquid so it can flow through the system, allowing them to operate on a positive-displacement principle.

However, the requirements of your application will determine whether you require a dry running or oil lubricated rotary vane pump, as they are better suited for different things. Our team is professionally trained on how to install, use and maintain Elmo Rietschle’s rotary vane pumps, so we will happily discuss with you which would be the best fit for you!
