KME offer two specific types of vacuum pumps well suited for multiple industries and a wide range of applications. Our product offering includes a Rotary Vane “Oil-Less” Vacuum Pump as well as a Rotary Vane “Oil Lubricated” Vacuum Pump.

Rotary Vane “Oil Lubricated” Vacuum Pump:

Oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps are able to generate a fine vacuum and are an excellent choice for applications that require a high vacuum.

Oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps are similar to other vane pumps. However, they feature unique benefits you will not find with standard vacuum pumps. Their straightforward construction with single shaft direct drive makes for a robust, long-life rotary vane pump with low operation and maintenance costs.

Rotary vane pumps never experience internal metal-to-metal contact, so they are able to self-compensate for wear. As a result, they have lower maintenance requirements and maintain peak performance longer than other types of vacuum pumps.

Compared to dry-running rotary vane pumps, oil-lubricated pumps additionally seal the working chambers with the oil that is transported. Common applications include.

• Evacuation: From food processing and packaging, to thermoforming and manufacturing, the removal of air or gas from a given space.
• Extracting: Vacuum pumps and blowers are used for the removal of fluids, waste, air, as well as various other materials.
• Pneumatic Conveying: Perfect for transferring powders, granules, flakes, and other small, dry, low bulk density products.
• Degassing: Removing gases, air, moisture, and vapor from processed materials like plastics, ceramic, and pasta to improve the finished product quality.
• Vacuum Fixing: Ideal solution for holding goods and components in place during production, processing, and packaging.

Rotary Vane “Oil-Less” Vacuum Pump:

Oil-less rotary vane vacuum pumps are positive-displacement pumps that feature sliding vanes in a rotor rotating within a cavity. Rotary vane pumps never experience internal metal-to-metal contact, so they are able to self-compensate for wear.

They have lower maintenance requirements and maintain peak performance longer than other types of vacuum pumps. Oil-less rotary vane vacuum pumps are an excellent choice for medium or variable vacuum range applications.

• Evacuation: From food processing and packaging, to thermoforming and manufacturing, the removal of air or gas from a given space.
• Extracting: Vacuum pumps and blowers are used for the removal of fluids, waste, air, as well as various other materials.
• Pneumatic Conveying: Perfect for transferring powders, granules, flakes, and other small, dry, low bulk density products.
• Degassing: Removing gases, air, moisture, and vapor from processed materials like plastics, ceramic, and pasta to improve the finished product quality.
• Vacuum Fixing: Ideal solution for holding goods and components in place during production, processing, and packaging.
• Pick & Place: Many modern production processes require the use of vacuum to transport, lift, and place goods and materials, including feeders for printing, secondary packaging, and other automatic loaders.
