SIHILPH-X - Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump

Two Stage

LPH 55312, LPH 55316, LPH 55320

Pressure Range: 33 to 1013 mbar

Suction Volume: 120 to 470 m³/h

CONSTRUCTION
Sterling SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps have a simple but robust
construction with the following features and benefits:

Near isothermal compression

Oil free, with no internal lubrication
Capable of handling almost all gases and vapours
Able to handle quantities of liquid “carry over”
Low maintenance and safe operation
Low noise and almost vibration free
Available in a wide range of materials
Broad range of applications
O-ring sealing as standard
Cavitation protection as standard
Drain hole as standard
Built-in solids drain
Rotating metallic parts are non contacting to minimise wear
ATEX compliance
Sterling SIHI liquid ring vacuum pumps of the range LPH 55312,
LPH 55316 and LPH 55320 are two stage pumps.
