Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ELMO RIETSCHLE from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the ELMO RIETSCHLE VCE-25 and VCS 50 vacuum pumps?
The VCE-25 is a lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump with a free air displacement of 17.6 cfm and a 1.5 hp motor, operating on 200V AC, 3-phase power. The VCS 50 is also a lubricated rotary vane pump but delivers 35.3 cfm with a 2 hp motor, also 200V AC, 3-phase. Both feature NPT and BSP port connections. The VCS 50 provides higher flow for applications requiring greater vacuum capacity, while the VCE-25 suits lower-demand systems. Selection depends on required free air displacement and available power.
What is the filtration efficiency of ELMO RIETSCHLE exhaust filters?
ELMO RIETSCHLE exhaust filters, such as the 474, 475, 731399, and 3136586000, are rated at 99.97% efficiency for capturing oil mist and particulates from vacuum pump exhaust. This helps maintain air quality in industrial environments. The filters are available in various sizes: the 474 and 475 have a 3-7/8 in outside diameter and 4-7/8 in overall height; the 731399 has a 2-1/4 in outside diameter and 3-1/2 in overall height; the 3136586000 has a 5 in outside diameter and 1-5/8 in overall height. Matching the correct filter to the pump model ensures proper fit and performance.
What are typical applications for ELMO RIETSCHLE lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps?
ELMO RIETSCHLE lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps, including the VCE-25, VCS 50, and 212 cfm models, are used in packaging, food processing, plastics, medical and laboratory systems, printing, woodworking, and general manufacturing. They provide vacuum for material handling, pick-and-place, thermoforming, and other processes requiring consistent vacuum. The pumps operate on 200V AC, 3-phase power and offer NPT or BSP connections. Their lubricated design supports continuous duty in industrial settings where reliable vacuum generation is needed.
How do I select the correct ELMO RIETSCHLE exhaust filter for my vacuum pump?
Selection depends on the pump model and exhaust port size. ELMO RIETSCHLE exhaust filters are specified by outside diameter and overall height. For example, the 474 and 475 kits fit pumps requiring a 3-7/8 in outside diameter and 4-7/8 in overall height filter. The 731399 is for smaller ports with a 2-1/4 in outside diameter and 3-1/2 in overall height. The 3136586000 has a 5 in outside diameter and 1-5/8 in overall height. Consult the pump manual or existing filter dimensions to match. 3G Electric lists these dimensions for each SKU to aid selection.
What power supply do ELMO RIETSCHLE rotary vane vacuum pumps require?
The ELMO RIETSCHLE lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps listed, such as the VCE-25, VCS 50, and 212 cfm models, operate on 200V AC, 3-phase power. This is a common industrial voltage for motors in this class. Ensure your facility has the appropriate 3-phase supply and motor protection. For other ELMO RIETSCHLE pump models, voltage and phase may vary; check the specific product specifications. 3G Electric provides voltage, phase, and motor power details for each pump SKU to assist with electrical compatibility.
