Optimizing Motor Speed in a Vacuum Pump Application AR.DRV.128 659KB Rev Date:07/22/2025 Description: Vacuum pumps use suction to remove air from an enclosed system and gradually decrease the air density to create a vacuum. These machines are used where enclosed areas need to be free of contaminants such as gases, refrigerants, air, and moisture. The packaging, food processing, dairy milking, and medical industries commonly use vacuum pumps.It is important to understand the flow and pressure requirements of the application when selecting a pump. Two main types of vacuum pumps are rotary vane and piston. Rotary vane pumps are standard in single and multiple-stage versions suited for high volume (flow) at light to moderate pressure. Piston pumps are well suited for high vacuum pressure and moderate volume, where a heavy amount of contamination may exist.
