Mechanical Vacuum Booster

Mechanical vacuum booster (also called Roots vacuum pump), as the main pumping equipment to obtain medium and high vacuum, is a positive-displacement vacuum pump and an oil-free dry vacuum pump. The mechanical vacuum booster is a low cost equipment with high pumping speed in the vacuum range of 0.001mbar~120mbar and can be combined with various vacuum pumps to form vacuum units, also can be combined with multi-stage Roots pumps to improve the system vacuum and achieve energy saving according to the actual situation.

Mechanical Vacuum Booster FAQ Guide

1.What is a mechanical vacuum booster?

Roots vacuum pump is a very commonly used mechanical vacuum booster. In some fields, such as the high vacuum field, it is also called a mechanical vacuum booster. In the process of vacuuming, the vacuum pump has a relatively high pumping speed in the early stage, but when it is close to the ultimate pressure, which is what we call high vacuum, its pumping speed will be greatly reduced, and its pumping speed will decrease very quickly or it can not reach the taget vacuum degree. Therefore, in this pressure range, a vacuum pump that can achieve high pumping speed which is required to process the low-vacuum gas in the vacuum chamber to a suitable higher vacuum, and then enter the suction port of the backing pump such as the screw vacuum pump to ensure the vacuum system with stable pumping speed and high pumping efficiency. Because of the process of boosting, this vacuum pump is called a mechanical vacuum booster pump as its name implies.

2. What is the difference between mechainical vacuum boosterand compressor?

Compressor, It is a equipment that compresses gas and simultaneously increases the gas pressure, which is positive pressure.

Roots mechainical vacuum booster it is a kind of vacuum pump for making vacuum, which can discharge or absorb the air in a closed or semi-closed space to achieve a relative vacuum in the local space, which is negative pressure.

Basically, screw vacuum pump, roots pump and liquid ring vacuum pump are all vacuum pump for making negative pressure. And roots blower, some kind of liquid ring pump and use as compressor for making positive pressure.(Here the Vacculex roots blower can also generate a fixed level of vacuum degree.)

3. How does a mechainical vacuum booster work?

The work of pumping gas in a Roots mechainical vacuum booster pump is performed by two rotors that rotate in opposite directions (clockwise and counterclockwise). The principle of operation is similar to that of a Roots blower, with the distinctive feature that the rotors do not touch each other while moving, i.e. there is a gap between them. This ensures durability and stability of work and allows for high speed rotation of the rotors to complete the process of suction and exhaust for the purpose of extracting gas from the system. For the synchronized operation of the rotors, high-precision gears are mounted on their shafts and are continuously lubricated with oil using a double oil tank.

4. What is the function of mechainical vacuum boosterin vacuum pump system?

Because Roots mechainical vacuum booster has high pumping speed at low inlet pressure, it is especially suitable for use as main pump in vacuum system which needs high pumping speed at low inlet pressure. In the whole vacuum system, there are many kinds of vacuum pumps available for using as backing pump, the backing pump is selected according to the specific working conditions, usually we use more dry screw vacuum pump, liquid ring vacuum pump, rotary vane vacuum pump, slide valve vacuum pump and so on.

In addition, because the design principle of Roots mechanical vacuum booster is similar to that of Roots blower, Vacculex’s unique design concept and advanced technology have used in many application cases, that is Vacculex Roots mechanical vacuum booster with high pressure difference and does not use backing pump, which means, the same one set of Roots mechanical vacuum booster pump, operates in positive pressure and negative pressure in different pressure stage in one working condition.
