Customize Your Rotary Vane Pump to Fit Your Specifications

Thomas' Rotary Vane Pumps can be tailored to meet even the most complex requirements. The design of these pumps permits fine-tuning of their performance by adjusting the vane count, selecting from various component materials, and choosing among different motor options.

Understanding Rotary Vane Pump Operation

Rotary vane pumps rely on the offset between a rotor located within the pump housing. Centrifugal forces push vanes inserted in the rotor against the housing. A cavity is formed trapping air or gas. The rotational motion compresses and transfers the trapped air/gas from pump inlet to pump outlet.
