Elmo Rietschle announced the next generation of claw vacuum technology for the company. The new VLU provides low vacuum in claw technology, with deeper ultimate vacuum levels previously only achieved by oil lubricated pumps. With no need to replace oil or oil filters frequently, the VLU combines low total cost of ownership with deep vacuum, making it the pinnacle of sustainable vacuum.
The VLU – Low Ultimate Vacuum Claw Pumps
The VLU – Low Ultimate Vacuum Claw Pumps offers low available suction pressure, up to 29 inHgV and low CAPEX compared to equivalent dry technology. The contactless, zero-wear claw technology removes the need to replace costly components and it’s environmentally friendly with no oil mist during operation or oil to dispose of after oil changes.
The VLU use a patented airend design, ensuring optimal performance, reliability and efficiency within a multitude of vacuum applications. With integrated air cooling inside an enclosure, the VLU provides quiet operation without the need for an additional cooling medium. Elmo Rietschle also understands one size vacuum pump does not fit all applications, which is why it’s offering six different pump sizes, all capable of achieving vacuum levels beyond that of traditional claw technology.
The VLU pumps come with a standard warranty consisting of 12 months from the date of initial use or 18 months from date of shipment from the manufacturing facility, whichever comes first.
