Vákuumszivattyú

Vákuumszivattyú (Hungarian for "vacuum pump") is a device engineered to remove gas molecules from a sealed space, thereby creating or sustaining a vacuum. Common types include rotary vane, piston, and turbomolecular pumps, each utilizing distinct operating mechanisms—such as mechanical compression or kinetic energy to expel gas—to achieve the desired pressure levels.

These pumps are widely employed across industries like semiconductor fabrication, scientific research, and food packaging, where maintaining low-pressure environments is critical for processes such as material deposition or preservation. Historically developed in the 19th century, advancements in engineering have enhanced their efficiency and versatility, enabling broader applications in modern technology.
