Successful cases of dry screw vacuum pump in cedar oil distillation application

One of our USA customer who are using the vacuum pump on a fractional distillation column in cedar oil industry and they have problems with the oil in our rotating vane pump becoming contaminated with process gasses.Soon after, the pump stops working.

To face this problem, customer asked help from us and requested a new solutions or replace solution pump for their case. The requested vacuum is at least a 1 mmHg vacuum and 100ACFM.Their previous pump used a Busch R5, 5HP and it never works. Because, their process produces steam and oil vapors that can get into the pump. Will these contaminants cause a problem.

After knowing all their requirements and their worried things, the most suitable pump which we recommended was Dry screw vacuum pumps. The working vacuum absolute meet customer’s requirements.
