Industrial Vacuum Pump for Heavy‑Duty Process Applications
Heavy-duty, versatile, bi‑lobe rotary blowers engineered for industrial vacuum pump applications
The Roots RAM Series industrial vacuum pump is a robust, highly engineered rotary positive displacement blower designed for demanding process environments. Its versatile construction permits easy in‑field adaptability to vertical or horizontal installation requirements, supporting a wide range of industrial vacuum and pressure applications where reliability, durability, and consistent performance are critical.
- Pressures to 18 psig (1240 mbar)
- Vacuums to 16” Hg (539 mbar)
- Flows to 3,550 cfm (6030 m3/hr)
- Heavy-Duty Construction: RAM rotary blowers used as industrial vacuum pumps feature integral‑shaft ductile iron impellers with an involute profile, grey iron headplates, and a rigid one‑piece casing designed for long service life in continuous‑duty industrial applications.
- Durable Components: Carburized and ground alloy steel spur timing gears are secured with a locknut, while cylindrical roller bearings provide dependable operation under demanding process loads.
- Efficient Sealing Mechanisms: Piston rings and lip‑type oil seals minimize air leakage and help prevent lubricant from entering the air chamber. A hydrodynamic seal on the drive shaft reduces the risk of oil leakage, supporting stable vacuum performance.
- Efficient Lubrication: Carburized and ground alloy steel spur timing gears are splash‑lubricated at both ends. Piston rings and lip‑type oil seals help maintain separation between the air chamber and lubrication system, contributing to consistent industrial vacuum pump operation.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Detachable steel mounting feet allow adaptation to vertical or horizontal installation requirements. Extended shafts are available to support various outlet configurations, providing flexibility for system integration.
- Warranty Coverage: A warranty period of twenty‑four (24) months from date of original unit start‑up or thirty (30) months from date of original shipment, whichever occurs first, is provided.
