Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a rotary vane pump?

  A rotary vane pump is a positive-displacement pump that consists of vanes mounted to a rotor that rotates inside a cavity. As the rotor turns, the vanes trap and compress gas, moving it from the inlet to the outlet, creating a vacuum.

• What maintenance is typically required for an E2M30 pump?

• Can this pump handle corrosive gases?
