Why should you consider using an oil-free vacuum pump?
An oil-free vacuum pump, also known as a dry running vacuum pump or oil-less vacuum pump, uses fluids or oils instead of oil to lubricate bearing chambers or gears. This means that the vacuum chamber doesn't contain any fluid, which can lead to less maintenance and a cleaner environment. Oil-free vacuum pumps also don't get affected by dust particles or vapor, so they last longer and require less maintenance. Why should you consider using an oil-free vacuum pump? 1. A low energy solution: Oil-free vacuum technologies offer significant energy efficiency savings. When paired with a VSD (variable speed drive), oil-free vacuum pumps can reduce energy consumption by up to 50% in certain applications compared to oil-lubricated equivalents. The Specific Energy Requirement (SER) measures the power consumption of the vacuum pump relative to the pumping speed and suction pressure. Oil-free vacuum pumps typically achieve a much lower SER, especially when tailored to specific applicat
