Dekker Gryphon Oil-Free Claw Vacuum Pumps

Types of Dry Claw Vacuum Pumps

The Dekker Gryphon line of dry claw vacuum pumps that we offer at Best Blower encompass a wide range of solutions for your industrial needs. Whether you need a single-stage or multi-stage configuration, you’ll find that these pumps provide a range of options from oil-free and water-sealed, ensuring it’s compatible with your processes as a robust and versatile pump system.

Efficient and Reliable

Dekker Gryphon sets the standard for efficiency and reliability in industrial vacuum technology, offering an innovative claw mechanism that minimizes friction and wear for reduced energy consumption and lowered maintenance. Because the internal mechanisms of these pumps are non-contact with itself, you’ll get consistent performance over time, no lubricant contamination, and lower operating temperatures than traditional pumps.

Claw Vacuum Pump Applications

Dry claw vacuum pumps are versatile, used in a wide range of applications and industries from biogas and vacuum packing to dairy milking and woodworking. Coming in a wide range of sizes, these pumps can be engineered for specific applications as well, so if you don’t find a pump that suits your process’ needs, it can be custom-tailored. At Best Blower, we’re here to help you find the perfect fit for your claw vacuum pump specifications, taking into consideration everything from operating conditions to viable space for machinery. Get in touch today and we’ll help you make the right choice.

Are These Pumps Positive Displacement Pumps?

Yes, the claw vacuum pumps that Best Blower offers from Dekker Gryphon are positive displacement pumps, meaning they operate by trapping a fixed volume of gas and move it through the pump mechanism for consistent performance. These pumps uses positive displacement action to ensure there is consistent performance across a wide range of pressures and applications, making them some of the most reliable pumps for many industries.

The Difference Between These Pumps and a Compressor

Both pumps manipulate gas pressure, but their functions are different. Claw vacuum pumps are designed to remove gas from a system and are able to handle both wet and dry gases, creating a vacuum by reducing pressure below atmospheric levels. Compressors, on the other hand, increase the gas pressure or density above atmospheric levels.

How Does a Dry Claw Vacuum Pump Work?

Dry claw vacuum pumps and compressors both feature two claw-shaped rotors that are mounted inside an internal cylinder. These rotors move in opposite directions, and that motion extracts, compresses, and expels the medium inside the pump.

Because the rotors do not come into contact with the housing, each other, or any other parts within the machinery, there is no need for operating fluids or lubricants, allowing these pumps to be used in applications where contamination of these fluids can pose a problem. Compressed mediums are then expelled through the outlet, and a synchronizing gearbox maintains a precise timing for the rotors throughout operation.

More Environmentally Friendly

Dekker Gryphon claw vacuum pumps represent a step towards more environmentally friendly industrial processing with their oil-free operation that eliminates the risk of lubricant contamination and reducing waste impacts on the environment.

The high level of efficiency translates to a lower energy consumption and demand, decreasing carbon footprint of your operations.

Additionally, these claw pumps have non-contacting parts which minimize the amount of wear on the machine, lowering the amount of maintenance required and replacement pumps you’ll need during the lifetime of your company’s processing.

Furthermore, the ability to handle a wet application without separating water treatment systems simplifies the process even more, reducing water usage and operating times across the board.

Choosing the Right Claw Vacuum Pump

Choosing the right claw vacuum pump from Best Blower is essential to maximize the energy efficiency and operating costs of your process. It’s important to assess the required amount of vacuum level and flow rate and determine the appropriate pump size from these measurements.

You should also consider the nature of the processed gases, such as whether they contain moisture or are corrosive. Operating conditions can also play a role in which claw vacuum pump is best for your application.

At Best Blower, we help guide you through the selection process to ensure you get a Dekker Gryphon pump that meets your current requirements but also provides flexibility for future needs. Get in touch today to see the difference that a guided pump selection can make in your processes.

How to Maintain Your Claw Pumps

Because clay vacuums are typically used in the medical industry, it’s important to ensure they are maintained properly and on schedule. While these vacuum pumps do need maintenance, you’ll find that they last a lot longer between maintenance and repairs than other oil-based pumps, significantly reducing any downtime.

Even though these pumps are resilient and don’t require as much maintenance to bring them back to operational safety standards, it’s still important to do a regular check of all the seals and claws. During maintenance, you may need to change the inlet filters. Operating conditions can change how frequently these must be renewed.
