MB Series Mechanical Booster Pump

The HI VAC MB Series Mechanical Booster Pump is a vacuum pump commonly used in a variety of industrial and scientific applications. It is designed to be used with primary vacuum pumps such as rotary vane pumps or turbomolecular pumps to increase pumping speed and improve the overall performance of the vacuum system.

 

Below are some key features and features of the MB Series Mechanical Booster Pumps:

 

Pumping Mechanism: MB Series pumps operate on the principle of gas entrainment. It uses a pair of rotating blades or screws to trap and entrain gas molecules, increasing the pressure and pushing them towards the main pump.

 

High Pumping Speed: Mechanical booster pumps are known for their high pumping speed capabilities. They can significantly increase the pumping speed of the main pump, resulting in faster pump down of the system and lower pressures.

 

Pressure Range: MB Series pumps are typically used in pressure ranges between atmospheric pressure (or slightly below atmospheric pressure) and moderate vacuum levels. They are not designed for high vacuum.

 

Oil Seal Operation: Most MB Series pumps require an oil seal system for proper operation. The internal parts of the pump are lubricated with oil to minimize wear and maintain efficient performance. The oil also provides a seal to prevent system backflow and contamination.

 

Application: Mechanical booster pumps are used in a variety of industries including semiconductor manufacturing, vacuum metallurgy, thin film deposition, research laboratories and other processes requiring fast pump down and high pumping speeds.

 

Sizes and Configurations: MB Series pumps are available in different sizes and configurations to suit different system requirements. They can be integrated into vacuum systems as stand-alone units or as part of a modular pumping system.

 

Maintenance: As with any mechanical equipment, regular maintenance is required to ensure optimum performance and longevity. This includes monitoring oil levels, changing oil as needed, checking seals, and cleaning or replacing filters.

 

It is worth noting that while the MB series mechanical booster pump can significantly increase the performance of the vacuum system, it cannot operate independently and requires the main pump to operate. The main pump establishes the initial vacuum level and the booster pump increases pumping speed to achieve the desired pressure level.
