Carbon Vane Pumps

Choosing a dry carbon vane pump

Compare the vacuum and flow required by the machine, the length of each operating cycle and the condition of the incoming air or gas. Include the existing filtration and the environment around the pump. When asking for replacement vanes or filters, use the exact model and part reference.

Frequently asked questions

What does dry carbon vane mean?

It describes a rotary vane design using carbon vanes in a dry pumping chamber. Use the individual pump specifications to establish pressure, flow and permitted operating conditions. Check the selected pump against your process gases and operating conditions.

How do I identify replacement carbon vanes?

Send the pump make and model and any available part number. Vanes need to match the specified material and dimensions for the pump. Use the specified vane material and dimensions for the exact pump model.

Do dry carbon vane pumps need filters?

Check the pump and installation instructions for the required filtration. Tell us what enters the inlet and provide the existing filter or element reference. Matching the connection diameter alone is not enough to select a protection filter.

Can I replace an oil-lubricated pump with a dry carbon vane pump?

Only if the proposed model meets the process pressure, capacity and duty requirements. Compare gas compatibility and filtration as well as electrical and mechanical connections. Send the existing pump reference and explain why you want to change technology.
