Two-stage oil-free screw vacuum pumps represent a significant advancement in vacuum technology towards high performance, high cleanliness, and high reliability. These devices utilize two screw rotors that rotate synchronously and contactlessly in opposite directions within a precision chamber, creating periodic volume changes and achieving efficient gas extraction and compression. Their core breakthrough lies in completely eliminating traditional oil lubrication systems. Leveraging a special self-lubricating coating and extremely precise tolerances, they achieve completely oil-free operation while ensuring excellent thermal management and stable high vacuum performance.
Compared to single-stage pumps or other oil-free solutions, their two-stage compression structure enables rapid transitions from low vacuum levels, achieving ultimate vacuum levels below 0.1 Pa, while maintaining efficient pumping speeds across the entire pressure range. The integrated cooling system and gradient compression design effectively control temperature rise, preventing thermal deformation of the rotor and deterioration of the process medium, making them particularly suitable for handling sensitive gases and condensable vapors.
Key Advantages and Comparison with Competitive Products
Compared to similar products, two-stage oil-free screw vacuum pumps offer significant technical advantages and application benefits in the following areas:
vs. liquid ring pumps: Completely solves oil mist contamination and wastewater treatment issues
No operating fluid is required, fundamentally avoiding oil emulsification, vacuum system contamination, and subsequent treatment costs. They are particularly suitable for applications requiring extremely high cleanliness, such as pharmaceuticals and food processing.
vs. dry vane pumps: Higher reliability and wider media compatibility
The frictionless vane design eliminates the risk of failure due to wear and tear; they can handle complex operating conditions involving dust and condensable gases (such as solvent vapors), whereas rotary vane pumps are prone to seizure and require frequent maintenance.
vs. Roots vacuum units: More compact design, lower energy consumption, and no need for a backing pump
The two-stage compression mechanism enables the system to achieve high vacuum capability directly from atmospheric pressure, eliminating the need for a backing pump, significantly saving space and energy, and achieving overall energy savings of 30%-50%.
Materials and craftsmanship benchmarked against high-end international brands, achieving competitive domestic alternatives.
The main body is made of 316 stainless steel precision castings, and the rotor can be optionally coated with a composite coating.

Food packaging (vacuum preservation, modified atmosphere packaging)
Pain point: Equipment must prevent any oil molecules from contaminating food; fast production cycles require fast pumping speeds and high efficiency.
Solution: An oil-free design meets food safety standards; high pumping speeds complement automated production lines, improving packaging efficiency and product shelf life.
Research and national-level large-scale scientific facilities (synchrotron radiation, particle accelerators, vacuum interconnection experimental stations)
Pain point: The system requires a high clean vacuum limit, extremely low vibration and noise, and stable 24/7 operation. Solution: Excellent vibration control ensures no impact on precision instrument measurements; oil-free baking minimizes outgassing, resulting in cleaner vacuum; and a highly reliable design meets the stringent continuous operation requirements of large scientific facilities.
Two-stage oil-free screw vacuum pumps are not only an upgrade and replacement for traditional vacuum equipment, but also an indispensable foundational piece of equipment for high-end precision manufacturing, scientific research, and green industrial systems.
