The use of high vacuum pumps in coating applications is essential for creating a controlled, clean, and efficient environment.
These pumps play a crucial role in achieving uniform coatings, improving adhesion, and minimising the impact of contaminants on the coating process.
Turbomolecular Pumps
Turbomolecular pumps operate on the principle of momentum transfer via collisions in the molecular flow regime.
A high-speed rotor with angled blades imparts directed momentum to gas molecules upon impact, increasing their average velocity towards the pump outlet.
Multiple stages with progressively narrower gaps efficiently compress the gas, ultimately exhausting it against a foreline vacuum.
This creates a high vacuum environment within the chamber.
As with all mechanical assemblies, regular maintenance by skilled technicians using high quality parts will ensure optimal performance,
longevity and reduced cost of ownership.
