High-Performing Roots Vacuum Pumps

A bypass line in a roots vacuum pump system is a pathway that allows a portion of the pumped gas to circulate back to the pump's inlet or another stage when the pressure differential exceeds a certain limit. This mechanism helps to manage the pump's load and prevent excessive pressure buildup that could cause operational issues or damage.

Models of Roots vacuum pumps without a bypass line offer several advantages, including simplified system architecture and reduced maintenance requirements. Eliminating the bypass line reduces potential leak points within the system, enhancing overall vacuum integrity. Additionally, these models can offer improved performance efficiencies by ensuring all gas flow is directed through the pump, optimizing vacuum creation and processing speeds. However, it's important to note that these models may require more precise control and operation within their specified differential pressure range to prevent overloading the pump.

For instance, one EVS 950 can replace three rotary piston pumps, and two EVS 1800 can substitute for five water ring pumps, saving energy and space even in smaller facilities.

Roots pumps excel in applications requiring high flow rates and where the vacuum requirements are not extremely high, such as vacuum heat treatment furnaces, vacuum drying, vacuum assistance in semiconductor manufacturing processes, and production of solar cells. In these applications, the high pumping speed and the ability to quickly achieve operational vacuum levels of Roots pumps are crucial.

Our oil screw vacuum pumps are designed with top-tier motors with VSD technology (Variable Speed Drive) for maximum energy savings. You may save up to 50% on energy costs compared to alternative mechanical vacuum pumps with fixed speeds.

When dealing with moist gases, Roots pumps may face issues with condensation and corrosion. These can be mitigated by installing gas coolers or condensers upstream to precondition the gas and reduce moisture entering the pump. Additionally, using materials and coatings with better corrosion resistance can enhance the durability and reliability of the pump in such conditions.

A Roots pump requires a primary pump to establish initial vacuum conditions, as it cannot start pumping directly from atmospheric pressure to a low vacuum on its own.

Combining Roots pumps with other types of primary vacuum pumps (such as rotary vane pumps, turbo molecular pumps, etc.) can cover a wide range of pressures, from atmospheric pressure to ultra-high vacuum. This combination not only improves the pumping speed of the system but can also achieve a lower ultimate vacuum level, meeting diverse application requirements.

Common issues include overheating, increased noise, and reduced pumping speed. Solutions typically involve regular maintenance checks, such as inspecting and cleaning the rotors, ensuring the cooling system is effective, checking and replacing worn seals, and ensuring the motor and drive systems are functioning properly.

We offer one versatile standard version that can be tailored to different working conditions by simply adjusting parameters and switching oils. For instance, in vapoThe oil in oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pumps should generally be changed every 3 months. However, this can vary based on the pump's usage intensity, the type of processed gases, and operating environment. Regularly checking the oil's condition for any signs of contamination or degradation can help tailor the change frequency to your specific needs.r-rich environments like brick making, switching to full synthetic oil from standard mineral oil is effective and incurs minimal additional cost.

We prioritize adapting our standard model to your specific needs without extra charges.

Recent advancements in Roots pump technology include improvements in materials and coatings to enhance durability and corrosion resistance, design optimizations for higher efficiency and lower noise levels, and integration with smart control systems for better performance monitoring and predictive maintenance. Additionally, the development of energy-efficient models using technologies such as VFDs has also been a significant focus, aiming to reduce the environmental impact and operational costs of vacuum systems.
