The diaphragm vacuum pump is a three stage, dry compressing pump. This means that the supplied
medium does not come into contact with any lubricant.
The pump is a positive displacement pump with a periodic change in suction chamber size, produced by
the movement of the diaphragm. The gas flow causes the valves to open and close automatically.
The pump units are connected directly to the drive motor (AC motor).
The pump is equipped with a pressure side silencer as standard.
