Print pumps by their nature are typically high-flow medium range vacuum pumps, generally single-stage rotary vane pumps, and sometimes oil-lubricated or dry carbon vane pumps.
The typical technical issues that we deal with are as follows:
- Saturated oil mist filters creating excessive back pressure in the rotary pump “oil flooded type”
- Oil filter blockage creating low flow and thus poor lubrication and poor vacuum
- Bearing wear “critical failure” creates excessive heat and wears the seals quickly
- Blade wear and creates poor vacuum seal on rotor and stator
Dry vacuum pumps are carbon-bladed and self-lubricating. The blades on these do, by their nature of self lubrication, wear out very quickly.
Typical pumps used within print industry would be as follows:
- Busch vacuum pump
- Rietschle vacuum pump
- Mils vacuum pump
- Gardner Denver pumps
- Stokes vacuum pump
- DVP vacuum pump
- Heidelberg vacuum pump
- Orion vacuum pump
- Schmalz pump
