PFS is one of the premier suppliers of vacuum pumps and multi-stage vacuum pumps in Canada. These pumps are used in many industries and applications, particularly in the manufacturing environment.
How vacuum pumps work
There are various types of vacuum pumps, including primary pumps, secondary pumps and booster pumps. Regardless of the classification, however, the main purpose of a vacuum pump is to expel air or gas molecules from the chamber.
Types of vacuum pumps
The main types of vacuum pumps are:
- Positive displacement pumps – often selected to create a low vacuum.
- Momentum transfer pump – used to create high vacuums and often used in conjunction with displacement pumps.
- Regenerative pump – this type of pump is known for its use of vortex performance.
- Entrapment pump – this pump uses extremely cold temperatures in order to compress gas into solids.
Advantages of vacuum pumps
- Offer secure suction and removal of waste.
- Allow for odour control and safe transport of biosolids.
- Make it safe to transport and move dangerous materials.
Industries and Applications
Vacuum pumps can be found in a variety of industries and applications. They are used in a number of industrial processes including plastic molding, semiconductor processing, and vacuum tubes. They can also be used to power components found in hydraulic brakes, throttle drivers and dampers.
Choosing the correct vacuum pump
When choosing a vacuum pump for your facility, it is important to keep in mind the size of pump you need, how strong the suction needs to be, and how much volume needs to go through the pump. If you are ordering a pump for a new facility (and not just replacing an existing pump), it is highly recommended that you have a needs assessment conducted by one of our technicians.
