roottoripumput

Roottoripumput, also known as rotary vane pumps, are a type of positive displacement pump. They utilize a rotor with vanes that slide in and out of slots within the rotor. As the rotor spins eccentrically within a cylindrical housing, the vanes are forced outwards by centrifugal force, creating a seal against the housing wall. This action divides the pumping chamber into multiple sections.

The operation involves a continuous cycle of filling, sealing, and emptying. As the rotor turns, the volume between the vanes increases on the suction side, drawing fluid into the pump. This fluid is then trapped and conveyed around the housing. On the discharge side, the volume decreases, forcing the fluid out under pressure. The number of vanes and the design of the housing determine the efficiency and flow characteristics of the pump.

Roottoripumput are often used for vacuum applications and for pumping various liquids, including oils, fuels, and some chemicals. Their simple design and relatively low cost make them a popular choice for many industrial and commercial uses. They are known for their ability to handle some solid particles and their relatively quiet operation. Maintenance typically involves lubrication and occasional replacement of vanes if they become worn.
