Compared to liquid ring pumps, oil-filled screw pumps, and even dry rotary vane pumps, dry screw vacuum pumps offer significant technological advantages in multiple dimensions. Not only do they fundamentally eliminate the risk of oil vapor contamination of process media, but their unique volume compression mechanism allows them to efficiently handle complex gases containing condensable vapors, trace dust, and corrosive components without the need for intermediate filtration or liquid ring dilution, significantly reducing system complexity and subsequent processing costs.
This equipment has become a standard feature in high-end manufacturing precisely because it precisely addresses long-standing pain points in the following key industries:
Semiconductor manufacturing (e.g., etching, CVD, ion implantation)
Industry Pain Points: Even trace amounts of hydrocarbon contaminants can render an entire wafer scrapped; corrosive byproducts (e.g., Cl₂ and F₂) generated during etching and thin-film processes can severely corrode the pump; the equipment requires continuous high-load operation, leaving a very short maintenance window.
Solution: The fully dry, oil-free design completely eliminates contamination sources; 316 stainless steel or nickel-plated alloy rotors and chambers resist harsh chemical corrosion; and the high-reliability design supports tens of thousands of hours of continuous operation, closely matching production line cycle times.
Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology (lyophilization, aseptic filling, solvent recovery)
Industry Pain Points: Drug safety regulations (e.g., GMP, FDA) mandate hydrocarbon-free production throughout the entire process; solvent vapor condensation can easily cause pump jamming or performance degradation; and traditional pumps require frequent maintenance, increasing the risk of production downtime and validation costs. Solution: Provides 100% clean vacuum, meeting certification requirements; special profile design and chamber temperature control effectively prevent solvent condensation; modular design enables simple and fast maintenance, significantly reducing lifecycle costs.
Chemical and Fine Chemicals (polymerization reactions, solvent refining, hazardous gas treatment)
Industry Pain Points: Process gases are often corrosive, flammable, explosive, or polymerizing; traditional oil pumps pose safety and environmental risks such as oil deterioration and oil mist in the exhaust; high production continuity requirements and insufficient reliability of conventional vacuum systems.
Solution: Corrosion-resistant materials and a fully sealed structure ensure safe handling of harsh media; dry operation prevents explosive mixtures of oil vapor and process gases; stable exhaust capacity and low failure rate support long-term process stability.
Photovoltaic and Lithium Battery Manufacturing (solar cell lamination, electrode drying, NMP recovery)
Industry Pain Points: Solvents such as NMP are highly corrosive and permeable, easily leading to pump failure; drying processes require rapid extraction of large amounts of water vapor without contamination; and production environments place extremely high demands on equipment energy efficiency and reliability. Solution: Excellent solvent-resistant design and temperature control system ensure long-term stable operation; high-speed pumping capacity improves drying efficiency; oil-free design prevents battery electrode contamination, ensuring product yield.
Food Packaging and Processing (Vacuum Preservation, Modified Atmosphere Packaging, Degassing)
Industry Pain Points: Any oil molecule contamination can cause food spoilage and safety issues; high-speed continuous production lines require fast-response and high-efficiency pumping equipment; traditional liquid ring pumps consume high energy and generate wastewater requiring secondary treatment.
Solution: Completely oil-free, meeting food-grade hygiene standards; high pumping speeds and fast startup are a perfect match for automated production lines; significantly reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution, improving overall efficiency.
Dry screw vacuum pumps are not only a replacement for traditional vacuum equipment but also a core driver of industrial upgrades toward green, precise, and efficient systems. Through their four core values of oil-free cleanliness, excellent media adaptability, high reliability, and low lifecycle costs, they precisely address the high-end manufacturing industry's deep demands for improved quality and efficiency, process safety, and sustainable development. With the continued development of key industries such as semiconductors, new energy, and pharmaceuticals, the technical advantages and application depth of dry screw vacuum pumps will continue to expand, making them an indispensable foundational component of modern industrial vacuum systems.
