Vooner VaneGard® Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps
"Protecting Vacuum When Production CountsTM"

In order to stay competitive in today's world, it is essential for industries to increase production while reducing production related costs. The Vooner® VaneGard® liquid ring vacuum pump, with its pioneer design, accomplishes just this. VaneGard design features give you vacuum pumps engineered for maximum value, consistent performance and added pump life. The exclusive VaneGard® self-aligning, removable bearing carrier speeds maintenance and reduces downtime. At the same time, stainless steel components extend the pump's overall useful life, thus reducing full life cycle cost.

Pumps come equipped with solid cast 304 stainless steel (CF-8) Rotor
as standard construction. The 304 stainless steel prevents erosive and corrosive wear at the critical seal area. This maintains the original close tolerance between the Rotor and Cones.

Design Features

Cast Stainless Steel Rotor: All Vooner VaneGard pumps come equipped with solid cast 304 stainless steel (CF-8) Rotors as standard construction. Stainless steel cones are a popular option. The 304 stainless steel prevents erosive and corrosive wear at the critical seal area. This maintains the original close tolerance between the Rotor and Cones much longer than cast iron parts can.

Vooner Two-Inlet Pump Design:
All Vooner pumps are the world standard two inlet pumps. With this design, the average axial thrust loads on the bearings is zero. This is much less than a single-inlet, single-cone design which always has a thrust load in one direction. Vooner’s two-inlet designs allow slower air velocity, less impact force inside the pump, and slower operating speed than single-inlet designs.

horizontal rule
Self-Aligning Removable Bearing Carrier: The unique self-aligning Bearing Carrier featured in the VaneGard allows bearing replacement without removing the pump from the process piping and the Heads from the pump housing. By simply turning the Carrier jackbolts against the head, the Bearing Carrier (with the bearing) slides off the shaft.

Stainless Steel Shaft: All Vooner VaneGard pumps except for the "A" model come with stainless steel shafts that are more corrosion- and abrasion-resistant than common carbon steel shafts.
