Rotary vacuum pumps


Kaeser's rotary vacuum pumps: turnkey solutions for industrial vacuum applications

Our rotary screw vacuum pumps feature a SIGMA profile airend specifically designed for vacuum applications such as hold down for CNC router tables, vacuum forming, thermoforming, packaging, bottle and tube filling, drying, degassing, and filtration.

  • Volume: 166 to 551 acfm
  • Final vacuum: 99%
  • Pressure range: 10-29" HgV

Your advantages

  • Extremely efficient:
    IE4 motors
  • Quiet operation:
    Soundproofing and vibration isolation mounts ensure low noise levels and smooth, quiet operation.
  • Easy installation and service-friendly:
    All units arrive piped and wired, ready for installation. Wide-opening doors and a removable rear panel facilitate easy access to all maintenance components.
High-flow vacuum blowers are another cost-effective solution for many applications.
Lower your operating costs
Life-cycle costs

The V-belt drive system with automatic tensioning powers the airend at precisely the right speed. The motor power is transmitted to the airend as efficiently as possible, saving energy and improving package reliability.
