Protects the vacuum pump from process liquids
The system is designed for glass and stone machining equipment, as well as applications where non-aggressive cutting or cooling liquid may be carried into the vacuum line. The compact unit connects to the machine through a flexible hose. A ball valve at the vessel inlet allows the unit to be isolated safely during maintenance.
Air and liquid are first separated by the cyclonic arrangement inside the vessel. An external float-level indicator allows the liquid level to be checked visually; when the vessel is full, a level sensor generates an electrical signal and the collected liquid is discharged through an automatic drain valve.
Air that has been freed of droplets but still contains moisture then passes through a condensate-separator filter. A vacuum gauge on the filter indicates operating condition, while an air-admission valve supports controlled drainage of accumulated liquid. An auxiliary non-return valve and gas-ballast arrangement help reduce condensation and carry residual moisture vapour through the pump.
