The role of Rotary vacuum pump (also called Roughing pump), in creating a smooth vacuum cycle cannot be stressed upon enough. In turn, this makes rotary/mechanical pump oil an important factor in the smooth running of the vacuum pump. Unfortunately many vacuum pump users do not realize that rotary vacuum pump oil is not an…

While running the metalizing plant, if we take a few seemingly small precautions, they can go a long way in ensuring optimum usage of energy, expensive materials and thereby money. And as we know, money saved is money earned. Figure 1 shows the Evaporation Boat. Aluminum wire is fed into the cavity of the hot…

Introduction: In vacuum metallizing, a layer of metal is deposited on a substrate. Better the deposition, better the film quality. Pin hole defect in metallizing, sometimes also referred as pin windows, are the areas where no metal has been deposited. These can be a big problem for quality metallizing especially in yarn grade metalizing where…

Q.1 How does a diffusion pump work? Ans. A diffusion pump works on the principle of gas diffusion to create vacuum. In a diffusion pump, diffusion pump oil is heated to its boiling temperature. Vapor of this oil is compressed in a vertically tapering hollow cone as it moves up. Simultaneously this oil vapor escapes…
