Dry Running Claw Vacuum Pumps
Oil-Free Vacuum Technology for Industrial Applications
Elmo Rietschle Dry Running Claw Vacuum Pumps provide an efficient and reliable alternative to traditional oil-lubricated rotary vane pumps, liquid ring vacuum pumps, and other conventional vacuum technologies. Utilizing advanced contact-free claw compression, these pumps deliver clean, oil-free vacuum generation while reducing maintenance requirements, operating costs, and energy consumption.
Available in capacities ranging from approximately 42 to 1,200 m³/h (25 to 706 CFM), the C-VLR Series is designed for continuous-duty operation in demanding industrial environments. From compact OEM installations to large centralized vacuum systems, claw technology offers a dependable solution for manufacturers seeking improved efficiency, long service life, and reduced total cost of ownership.
Why Choose Dry Running Claw Vacuum Pumps?
Unlike conventional vacuum technologies, claw vacuum pumps operate with an oil-free compression chamber and contact-free rotors. This design eliminates internal wear, minimizes maintenance requirements, and prevents process contamination.
The result is a highly efficient vacuum solution that combines stable performance, long service intervals, low operating costs, and environmentally responsible operation. For many manufacturers, dry running claw vacuum pumps have become the preferred replacement for rotary vane, carbon vane, and liquid ring vacuum pumps.
