Tween Lobe Booster Pump About
The SEMCO Twin Lobe Vacuum Booster is a precision-engineered, positive displacement pump designed to work in tandem with a backing pump.
200 to 3600 m/hrDifferential Pressure: 20 to 80 mbar
The SEMCO Twin Lobe Vacuum Booster is a precision-engineered, positive displacement pump designed to work in tandem with a backing pump (such as a dry screw, Vane, Liquid ring vacuum pump). By utilizing two lobes that rotate in high-speed synchronization without touching, these boosters "supercharge" your vacuum systemextending the vacuum range and reducing pump-down times by up to 10 times. Ideal for high-volume applications, SEMCO boosters are completely dry and oil-free in the pumping chamber, ensuring no process contamination and a clean exhaust.
