Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps

Republic Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps for Industrial Vacuum Systems

Pneuforce is an authorized distributor of Republic Manufacturing rotary vane vacuum pumps, offering both oil-free (dry-running) and oil-lubricated rotary vane pumps for industrial vacuum applications. Republic vacuum pumps are trusted worldwide for reliable performance in packaging, automation, material handling, vacuum forming, CNC machining, printing and OEM equipment.

Whether your application requires clean, oil-free vacuum or the deepest possible vacuum levels, Republic offers a rotary vane pump designed to meet your performance requirements. Models are available with or without integral motors to provide maximum installation flexibility.

Republic Rotary Vane Pump Range

• VRT Dry-Running Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps
• DRT Dry-Running Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps
• DVT Dry-Running Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps
• RX-Series Oil-Lubricated Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps
• Models available with or without integral motors
• Single-stage, direct-driven designs

Dry-Running Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps

Republic VRT, DRT and DVT Series dry-running rotary vane pumps provide clean, oil-free vacuum generation for applications where contamination cannot be tolerated. These single-stage pumps are direct driven and air cooled for continuous-duty industrial operation.

Smaller models (408-440) are supplied with integral motors, while larger models (3060-3250) are available with or without motors to suit a wide variety of machine designs. Dry-running vacuum pumps can achieve vacuum levels up to 25.5 inHg and dry vane compressors can generate pressures up to 21.8 PSIG.

Oil-Lubricated Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps

Republic RX-Series rotary vane vacuum pumps are designed for applications requiring significantly higher vacuum levels. Oil lubrication improves sealing efficiency, allowing these pumps to achieve vacuum levels up to 29.9 inHg.

Because oil is used as part of the sealing system, RX-Series pumps are recommended for applications where oil-free vacuum is not required.

How to Choose Between Dry-Running and Oil-Lubricated Pumps

Dry-running rotary vane pumps are ideal for applications requiring clean, oil-free vacuum and minimal maintenance. Oil-lubricated rotary vane pumps are preferred when achieving maximum vacuum is the primary requirement and trace oil carryover is acceptable.

Common Applications

• Vacuum Packaging
• Vacuum Lifting Systems
• Robotic Automation
• CNC Routing and Workholding
• Vacuum Forming
• Printing Equipment
• Medical Equipment
• Industrial OEM Machinery

Choosing the Right Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump

Pump selection depends on the required vacuum level, airflow, duty cycle, cleanliness requirements and operating environment. Pneuforce can help determine whether a dry-running or oil-lubricated Republic rotary vane pump is best suited to your application.
