A vacuum pump is used to remove air from a system in order to achieve the lowest possible pressure. Since it is impossible to achieve a perfect vacuum on Earth under industrial and laboratory conditions, the main goal is to reduce the number of gas particles in the system. The more air is removed, the higher the vacuum level achieved, meaning the pressure is lower and closer to a perfect vacuum.

In practice, various types of pumps are used for this purpose. Their construction and operating principles differ. We offer oil rotary-vane, piston, and diaphragm pumps. All these devices reduce the pressure in a system by removing air, which leads to the creation of a vacuum.

Many of our customers wonder which lid to choose for their vacuum chamber and what the difference is between a tempered glass lid and one made of plastic, i.e. polycarbonate. There are often doubts about whether it is necessary to invest in the more expensive option. Today, we’ll try to shed some light on this topic.

Vacuum pumps have a wide range of applications and can be successfully used in various industries, including:

• Food industry
• Chemical and pharmaceutical industry
• Laboratories and scientific research
• Automotive industry
• Paper industry
• Electronics industry
