IBS Vacuum Pump Hire

IBS Industrial Blower Services has an impressive range of blowers, vacuums and pumps available to manufacturers in the industrial and other sectors. As suppliers, IBS is well known for its products and related service options and is considered UK’s premium go-to when it comes to pumps, blowers and vacuums. The manufacturing environment is a competitive one so its imperative that businesses consider quality industrial equipment to support their on-going success.

There are 3 types of vacuum pumps of which the most popular is the positive displacement pump, with momentum transfer pumps and entrapments pumps being subsidiaries to the positive displacement pump. While momentum (also known as molecular) pumps use a intense jets of fluid or high paced rotating blades to remove gas molecules of out a chamber, alternatively entrapment vacuum pumps utilise lower temperatures to decrease a gas molecules size thereby trapping the gases into a absorbent or even solid state within a chamber. Positive displacement pumps make use of technology, which moves fluids or liquids through the pump chamber by increasing the cavity on the suction side of the vacuum and discharging the fluid as the cavity collapses. There are two types of positive displacement vacuum pumps, the first being reciprocating positive displacement pumps, the technology of which you will find commonly in piston pumps. And the second being the rotary positive displacement pump of which liquid ring pump and sliding vane rotary pump are common examples.

As robust as the vacuum pump can be, there will be occasions, which result in a call for hiring of an industrial vacuum pump. Some businesses prefer to hire their vacuum pumps for short periods where the need arises. Other businesses may be under-going maintenance and servicing and as such would require replacement vacuum pumps to avoid downtime of production. New businesses who are not yet sustainable enough to purchase large industrial equipment prefer not to make the initial purchase and revert to hiring the desired, requisite equipment. In order Hire Heavy Duty Industrial Vacuum, companies can contact IBS professional engineers for advice on how best to proceed with their vacuum pump set up, requirements and suitable options.

In the event of a breakdown IBS have liquid ring, rotary vane, side channel, claw and roots type vacuum pumps available. For Wet Industrial Vacuuming Hire the range for hire provides volume flow rates between 4 and 1500 m3/hour FAD.

Vacuum pump technology from Industrial Blower Services

Vacuum pump technology was first utilised since the first champions of the industrial revolutions brought this technology, the brainwave of scientist Otto von Guericke, into existence.  Developed and improved upon to create what has become one of the fundamental building blocks of industry in the modern era, with its hundreds of applications in several different industry sectors, vacuum technology has been said to be endlessly evolving, proving it one of the most critical invention of all the industrial revolutions. With the 4th Industrial Revolution in full swing, is there still a future for this type of technology in industry or are we looking at the end of an era for this science-based technical tool?

IBS has been in the vacuum blower industry for more then 3 decades and believes that from a current economic stance on business, the application of vacuum pump technology plays as important a role as ever before and that there no signs of this trend waning in the near future.  Certainly, the current application of the use of vacuum technology in retail, manufacturing and everyday packaging industries, such as plastic molding, washing systems in food processing, underwater aeration with commercial and household applications, PET coating on plastic bottles and dry freezing of packaged food and beverages, is a going concern. However, as the call for safer and more environmentally friendly, sustainability becomes the focus of growing concerns for the health and well-being of the globe and humanity itself, will we begin to see a decrease in the use of vacuum technology?

The answer is a simple no. More and more, it becomes evident that vacuum technology is here to stay. Although common applications may well change due to the changing demands from governments to make swift and steady changes towards sustainable business, vacuum technology is already being tested and proving vital in the developments of the 4IR. It is predicted that we will witness vital incremental improvements on seals and gauges, calibration methods with far superior accuracy will appear and even more specialised custom-designed vacuum facilities being created to accommodate rings, reactors, and portable industrial vacuum units. Side Channel Blowers and industrial Vacuum units stand to be developed as new products begin to appear as the market begins to adapt with the introduction of solid-state electronics.

 

  The prediction is that the vacuum pumps of the near-future will not only be more reliable with the capacity for vastly improved operations for distinctly longer periods of time, but will also prove themselves to be vital to the development of lasers, superconductors, catalysis as well as solar energy, microprocessors and computers. While it is hard to know for sure the exact developmental path of vacuum technology, it would be premature to begin a move away from what may be viewed as a technology whose time has come.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IBS Blowers is excited to be in an industry, which is crucial to the growth and development of industry and will continue to provide a vast array of products, both new and reconditioned, which can be recommended with confidence from now into the future.

Initially named the “water ring pump” the liquid ring vacuum pump is used for creating vacuum in moist gases and vapours. Typically utilised in the chemical industry, liquid ring vacuums, like many other vacuum systems, operate on the principle of positive displacement of liquid, channelling the liquid in a piston-like fashion to achieve displacement. Operating a relatively low temperatures liquid ring vacuum pumps are ideal for the condensation of vapours essentially allowing them to function, in part, as condensers, drastically reducing volume. Adaptable in that they are able to fit the medium which is being pumped, the liquid ring pump offers excellent benefits in that the lower operational temperatures, allows for the successful for the pumping of polymers which are especially temperature sensitive and prove to be far less problematic when involved in the pumping of the more volatile materials.

IBS are proud UK & US agents for: Robuschi Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps

Vacuum pumps – the un-sung hero of home and industry – both practical and versatile all in one well designed piece of equipment. When it comes to pumps, vacuum pumps are utilised widely and are well respected in industry and retail simply due to their simple, practical form and countless functional aspects. Sewerage vacuum pumps are found more commonly than one might think, in the home as well industry. You would be forgiven for not realising how many vacuum pumps are silently going about their business in your home. Versatile and convenient, they are the perfect partner to assist with a wide variety of errands. Well-known areas where a vacuum pump is used range from air conditioners, electrical appliances to your everyday usage of your sewage system.

A vacuum pump has the ability to pump solids, liquids and air out of one area and into another. Through its mechanical design it is able to displace the “object” away from where it is currently to where the operator would prefer, or require it to be, making the vacuum pump the most effective tool in a system based on transposition, such as any sewage system. The purpose of the sewage system is to remove the sewage waste from the point of origin and ensure that through a series of pipes and tanks, the waste is deposited in a central collection tank awaiting the point of discharge. Gravity and differential air pressure are no longer the heroes of the waste disposal system as they proves to be fatally flawed when faced with any incline, except when assisted by a force outside of itself. Which is where pumps take centre-stage. Since the invention of the vacuum pump and with their technological advances, engineering and construction industries have make use of vacuum pumps which have been seen to have the ability to apply their designs and used in previously untried areas. In the construction of a more modern sewage system the vacuum pump plays a significant role.

Through their design, partnered with technological advances, vacuum pumps have become less expensive and therefore less costly when than gravity dependant sewage systems. Pumps like Robuschi are so well constructed that they simply can last for a life time or longer, unless they are exposed to undue pressure on an on-going basis. Because they are simply near fail proof, there is far less impact on the environment which is especially relevant in these times, preserving residential, industrial and commercial locations and lowering maintenance costs. With radically reduced replacement and maintenance costs of your vacuum pump, combined with the astonishing various practical applications, contacting your local Robuschi Distributor, IBS, would undoubtedly be one of the best investments for your business needs.
