Roots Blowers For Vacuum Systems

Roots Blower for Vacuumized Air in Industry

Roots type pump blowers are commonly used in vacuum systems where large gas loads need to be pumped in the intermediate vacuum range, typically between 10-3 to 10-2 mbar, and/or volumes must be evacuated in a relatively short time.

Vacuum systems, which are widely used in various industries and areas, rely on creating a low-pressure environment by removing gas molecules from a closed chamber or system. This can be achieved through various vacuum pump technologies, with Roots blowers being a popular choice due to their high pumping speed and ability to handle large gas loads.

Roots blowers are commonly used in manufacturing processes such as vacuum packaging, vacuum casting, vacuum distillation, and vacuum drying, among others. They are also used in various industries, including automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and semiconductor manufacturing.

In addition to their high pumping speed and ability to handle large gas loads, Rotary lobe roots blowers also offer several other benefits. They are relatively low maintenance, have a simple design, and can operate continuously without overheating. However, they are not suitable for high vacuum applications, as their pumping speed decreases significantly at pressures below 10-3 mbar.

In vacuum systems that require even higher levels of vacuum, Roots blower pumps can be used in combination with other vacuum pump technologies such as turbo molecular pumps, cryogenic pumps, or diffusion pumps. These hybrid pumping systems offer high pumping speeds and ultimate vacuum levels down to 10-10 mbar.

In summary, Roots blowers are a widely used type of vacuum pump in many industries and applications due to their high pumping speed, ability to handle large gas loads, and relatively low maintenance. Their use in vacuum systems allows for efficient and reliable removal of gas molecules, enabling various manufacturing processes and applications to be carried out.
