Rotary Piston Vacuum Pumps
A rotary piston pump is a self-priming reversible positive displacement pump which can deliver in high volume oils, viscous fluids such as resins and fuel efficiently. Rotary piston pumps typically handle up to 20,000cst and temperatures up to 300°C.
A rotary piston pump operates by a piston sliding back and forth along a rotors groove pulling liquid into the inlet of the pump. The rotor operates like a rotary valve enabling the pump to self prime. Two direct driven pistons operating in twin cylinders. The piston moves towards the Centre of the pump when near the pump inlet and as it moves towards the outlet of the pump it moves along the rotor expelling the liquid via the outlet.

Piston pump
A rotary piston pump is a form of the hydraulic pump. The working pistons broaden in the radial direction symmetrically all over the drive shift.
The pump is a self-preparing, reversible positive relocation pump that can convey high volume oils and thick liquids. Rotary pistons lengthen in the radial route symmetrically all over the driveshaft to transport the product up as it’s being pumped out of its reservoir. These pumps are prepared for use on frequencies from 60 Hz to 100 Hz; meaning they work efficiently whether you’re pumping water or any other fluid.
Moreover, the pump is an efficient means for transferring any liquid with viscosity 0 – 20,000 CST (Centistokes) at temperatures ranging from below zero degrees Celsius (-273°C), 300 °C (572 ° F).
Operating principle and features:
The series HGL, HG pump is a kind of single-stage and single-cylinder rotary piston vacuum pump. It is greatly improved series H rotary piston pump and includes four patents; its general capabilities have a great improvement.
Rotary piston vacuum pump is a sort of vacuum production equipment suitable for pumping ordinary gases and condensable gases(when a gas ballast used). The pump must be fitted with appropriate accessories if gas is rich in oxygen, explosive, corrosive to ferrous metal, chemical reactive with vacuum pump oil.
Operation principle show in working principle graph: A rotary piston with slide valve across ecentric wheel driven by shaft within the housing. Piston pole can slide and swing freely in arch track. The whole pump chamber is divided into chamber A and chamber B by piston. When shaft rotates the volume of chamber A and chamber B are changed repetitively, so that pumping purpose could be achieved.
The series HGL, HG pump can be a backing pump when combined with another high vacuum pump as well as operate singly. It is widely used in vacuum smelting, vacuum drying, vacuum impregnation and high vacuum simulation testing,etc.

Rotary Piston Vacuum Pumps
A rugged type of vacuum device is the rotary piston vacuum pump. Industries such as aerospace, vacuum degassing, evacuation, metal drying, and vacuum impregnation use the rotary piston vacuum pump to create vacuum. This type of pump is attractive when handling dry, non-condensable loads.
How Rotary Piston Pumps Create Vacuum
Achieves 5 Torr, handling small amounts of air and trace acetone.
The piston is eccentric to the main bore of the pump cylinder. Gas is drawn into the chamber as the volume in the “bucket” expands as the piston moves around the chamber. When this volume is at its maximum, the bucket seals as the piston closes off the inlet port. As the sealed-off gas rotates around the chamber, the gas is compressed and discharged out of the outlet port at a pressure slightly above atmospheric.
A thin film of lubricating oil lines the inside of the vacuum chamber within the rotary piston pump to achieve a better vacuum seal. However, this oil can become entrained in the process vapors and is present in the discharge vapors of the vacuum pump. Contaminated process gas is unavoidable.
The rotary piston pump has two configuration, single-stage and two-stage. Similar to liquid ring vacuum pumps, the two-stage configurations have higher capacities at deeper vacuum than the single-stage designs. Additional components can be added to the rotary piston vacuum system to improve operability and convenience, including: oil mist eliminators to collect and recycle entrained oil, after-condensers and receivers to collect trace amounts of condensables on the discharge of the system, and many others.
Pros and Cons:
The rotary piston pump has many advantages:
- Relatively cheap and high capacity at deep vacuum levels (<0.01 Torr)
- Rugged design which allow for a long life
- Can allow trace amount of solvents
Limitations of this type of vacuum pump are as follows:
- Cannot handle liquids or any process carryover because these will damage the internals of the pump
- Cannot easily handle condensable vapors
- Solvent recovery is not possible due to oil contamination
- Designs can be noisy
Single-Stage Rotary Piston Pumps
Two-Stage Rotary Piston Pumps
Rotary Piston Pump
A rotary piston pumps in China operates like a traditional linear piston via sliding back and forth inside grooves on its rotating shaft; however, unlike other pumps, two direct determined pistons are working within twin chambers simultaneously due to the power generated through rotation it keeps on powering each chamber.
Functions
This pump has many functions. Firstly, it’s used to prime the system before use with some fluid that gets pumped out at the end of the operation. Secondly, if there isn’t enough pressure from a previous piston stroke for this one to work as intended then two direct determined pistons are working in twin chambers and they’ll take care of any necessary pumping action on behalf of their counterpart while also moving towards each other until both have reached maximum capacity! Lastly and most importantly, these rotary pumps can self-prime themselves by having their rotor move like a valve which enables them to close off various ports at different times so that no air bubbles get caught within your motor or cause damage elsewhere

How the piston pumps create a vacuum
The piston is placed eccentrically to the main bore of the pump cylinder. Initially, the gas is drawn into the chamber, as the volume increases, the piston starts moving around the chamber. At the point when the volume reaches its maximum level, the piston closes the inlet port. The sealed gas in the chamber starts rotating all over, and they are compressed and discharged out of the outlet port at slightly above the atmospheric pressure.
Can this pump run dry?
No, definitely not! Rotary piston pumps will incur damage even after short periods of dry running. Firstly, the piston requires lubrication from the pumped fluid, for example fuel and oil. Dry running without these will cause fast and irreversible damage. The mechanical seal requires lubrication and cooling while the pump is operating. Without the presence of fluid, the mechanical seal will overheat and crack, and this may cause the pump to leak and fluid to enter the motor. There is also the possibility that the motor will burn out. Our advice is to ensure that the pump always has access to fluid while running, the vessel or sump on the inlet side of the pump must never run out of fluid while the pump is active. Level sensors or a float switch can be installed in the fluid chamber ensuring that the pump is turned off in the event there is no fluid. Another way of protecting the pump is to fit a dry running device, this will turn the pump off if it detects that no fluid is entering the pump. If you think that dry running is inevitable, then please speak to us and we will try to select a more suitable pump for your application.
How does a bypass work and do I need one?
An integral bypass is designed to protect the pump and system from overpressure for small periods of time. It is typically set to around 10% higher than the working pressure, it will open and recirculate the fluid inside the pump head when the set pressure is achieved. An integral bypass is only a temporary solution and cannot operate indefinitely, an additional external bypass that runs back to the fluid source is always recommended as a more permanent solution.
How do I know what size pump and motor speed is correct for my application?
A clear picture of the pump system is required to make an accurate selection. The main pieces of information required include; a description of the application, bore of pipework, the fluid, viscosity, size and type of solids, flow rate and pressure/head. With these pieces of information, a pump can be sized correctly to ensure it delivers the required flow rate and pressure and that is also operates at its best efficiency point to lower lifetime costs. Knowing if the pump is running intermittently or continuously also allows the correct motor speed to be selected. For instance, a pump running continuously 24/7 will require a slower speed motor rather than a full speed motor. Running the motor slower and oversizing the pump will reduce wear of the motor and the pump, therefore lowering maintenance costs during their lifetime.
What viscosity can this pump handle?
Please be aware that the figures displayed relate to the largest pump from this range of products, not specific models. For details on viscosity for specific models, please refer to datasheets or contact a member of our sales team.
