Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ELMO RIETSCHLE from 3G Electric.
What types of vacuum pumps does Elmo Rietschle offer through 3G Electric?
3G Electric supplies Elmo Rietschle lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps, including the Series C line and models like VCE-25 and VCS150. These pumps are available in horsepower ratings from 1.5 hp to 5 hp, with three-phase motors operating at voltages such as 200V AC, 230/460V AC, and 400V AC. Free air displacement ranges from 17.6 cfm to 212 cfm, and maximum vacuum ratings reach up to 27 in Hg. Port connections are offered in NPT or BSPP sizes, and enclosures are typically IP55-rated with TEFC motors.
What vacuum pump oil is recommended for Elmo Rietschle pumps?
Elmo Rietschle vacuum pump oil with a 100 ISO viscosity grade and a viscosity index of 105 is available from 3G Electric in 1-quart bottles (MPN 75175001). This oil is formulated for lubricated rotary vane pumps to reduce wear, maintain sealing, and dissipate heat. It is not suitable for non-lubricated or dry-running pumps. Always verify the oil type against the pump's manual to ensure compatibility and avoid voiding warranty.
What are the key specifications of the Elmo Rietschle Series C vacuum pumps?
The Series C vacuum pumps from Elmo Rietschle, such as models 1028950100-2H and 1028983100-4H, feature three-phase motors with TEFC enclosures and IP55 protection ratings. They are available with 1 1/2-inch BSPP female ports and maximum vacuum ratings of 18 in Hg or 27 in Hg. Full-load amperage varies by voltage: for example, 5.44 A at 230V, 3.13 A at 400V, and 2.72 A at 460V for the 1028950100-2H model. These pumps are designed for continuous industrial use.
Can Elmo Rietschle vacuum pumps be used in high-temperature environments?
Elmo Rietschle lubricated rotary vane pumps, including the Series C and VCS models, are built with TEFC motors and IP55 enclosures, which provide protection against dust and water jets. However, the operating temperature range depends on the specific model and ambient conditions. For applications exceeding 40°C ambient temperature, consult the pump's technical data sheet or contact 3G Electric to verify suitability and potential derating requirements.
What is the difference between the VCE-25 and VCS150 Elmo Rietschle vacuum pumps?
The VCE-25 is a 1.5 hp, three-phase pump with a free air displacement of 17.6 cfm and a 200V AC motor, while the VCS150 is a 5 hp pump with a 230/460V AC motor and a displacement of 90 cfm. Both are lubricated rotary vane types with NPT ports, but the VCS150 offers higher capacity for larger systems. The VCE-25 is suited for lower-flow applications, whereas the VCS150 handles higher volume requirements.
