A vacuum pump is a device that gets rid of gas molecules from a sealed volume in order to leave behind a partial vacuum. The initial vacuum pump was invented in 1650 by Otto von Guericke, and was preceded by the suction pump, which dates to antiquity.

Vacuum Pumps, pressure pumps, cover an array of operating pressures. Laboratory/filtration vacuum pumps are for use in the lab or anywhere a minimal vacuum is necessary; typically offer both vacuum and pressure capabilities. Use rough vacuum pumps (or roughing pumps) for laboratory and commercial applications requiring a level of vacuum significantly less than 10-3 Torr. Use high vacuum pressure pumps if you want vacuums higher than 10-3 Torr. Also, consider the free-air capacity needed (the higher the free air capability, the faster it’ll evacuate the chamber) and whether you will need a lubricated (oiled) or non-lubricated (dry or oilless) pump. Lubricated pumps provide higher capacities, higher vacuum levels, and lower noise, but can contaminate the system and require even more maintenance.

Industrial Vacuum Pumps
Vacuum Pumps
Our selection of commercial vacuum pumps includes oil-less and oil-flooded choices. We can customize a pump to fit your specific needs and provide you with guidance when it comes to selecting the most appropriate pump for you. You may expect high-quality, long-lasting outcomes when you select Becker vacuum pumps.

100% Oil-less Vacuum Pumps
The Ever-power KVT3.60 – 3.140 series pumps are 100% oil-less rotary vane vacuum pumps made to operate on a continuous basis at any point from atmospheric pressure to a vacuum degree of 27” HgV (75 torr). These direct travel units are given a higher efficiency TEFC, C-encounter, flange mounted electric electric motor. Each one of these pumps has an integral vacuum alleviation valve, a 5μ inlet filtration system, and vibration isolators as standard equipment.
