Rotary Vacuum Pump
synopsis
In most of the industries available in the country, the pumps are used for many purposes.
For pumping water,
For pumping oil,
For pumping air and
For creating vacuum
Such pumps have to be lubricated. But in the vacuum pump we can’t provide oil holes, because of the difficulty of attaining the absolute vacuum.
The crisis involved in the above pumps can be overcome by this project. Because are used. So, there is no need for providing oil holes and oil rings. Also, the main criteria are to make it a self lubricated pump. This type of vacuum pump is used to produce and maintain vacuum in a system by removing matter from the space involved to a degree dependent upon the type of system. This type of pump is generally used in printing presses.
introduction
Life in the world has become faster due to the development of science. In this fast moving world to avoid chaos and confusion, an effective means or mode of communication is essential.
Of-course communication has also developed to its peak with the invention of telephone, radio, television, pagers etc. inspire of these developments, newspapers, magazines etc. Play an important role in communication.
In case of newspapers large number of copies must be printed in a short span of time and must reach the public in time. For this purpose offset printing machines are used.
The heart of newspaper industries are heart beat of the printing machines. These pumps are mostly used in thin machine for delivering papers inside are mostly used in thin machine for delivering papers inside and taking the printed papers outside automatically. However the pumps currently used in these industries cause a lot of trouble and have to be maintained periodically.
Our project “The Self Lubricated Vacuum Pump” is an attempt to eradicate almost all the difficulties pointed out by experts and technicians working with these pumps, to the possible extent.
Advantages
Since, the pump is self lubricated (Carbon blades) there is no need for oil.
Since oil lubrication is not used in this pump it is maintenance free.
The fabrication of the pump also becomes easier with elimination of the eccentric oil ring.
The cost of the oil used for lubrication is saved and hence it is economical.
Prevention measures used in oil lubricated pumps for leakage are not needed
Disadvantages
Initial cost of the pump is high, since the cost of the carbon blades are high.
The carbon blades must be changed or replaced in proper time when worn out.
Applications
Many of the principal industrial process involve the use of sub atmospheric pressures. The applications are listed below:
It is used in printing presses for lifting the sheet and taking the sheet to the printing process.
It is used in water vapor refrigerating units for air conditioning and process work.
It is used in vacuum distillation and crystallization units for various chemical and refinery products etc.
It is also used in evaporative freezing units for a various food products etc.
It can also be used for free drying or in dehydrating equipment for sublimation drying of food specialties, Blood plasma, Penicillin, Vitamins, Special drugs, etc.
