Multi-stage steam jet vacuum pumps for industrial applications
Achieve precise vacuum conditions for evaporation, distillation, and drying processes with multi-stage steam jet vacuum pumps, optimizing efficiency by reducing energy consumption and ensuring purity in end products like pharmaceuticals, textiles, and chemicals.

Creates High-Vacuum Conditions for Efficient Process Control
The multi-stage steam jet vacuum pumps offered by GEA are engineered to solve complex vacuum generation challenges across various industrial sectors. These pumps operate using a series of jet stages to create high-vacuum conditions essential in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food production processes. By utilizing steam as the motive medium, they efficiently reduce suction pressures to as low as 0.01 mbar, making them suitable for applications in distillation, freeze drying, and deodorizing.
With a robust compression capability, these pumps can handle extensive compression ratios, ensuring optimal performance even under demanding conditions. Designed to fit seamlessly into existing production lines, they can be integrated with mechanical vacuum pumps for enhanced vacuum control. Their construction allows for handling a wide range of gases and vapors, including ammonia and caprolactam, and they are vital for producing polyester fibers and refined hydrocarbons.
Available in materials such as stainless steel and special alloys for chemical compatibility, these pumps feature both mixing and surface condenser options depending on process requirements. Their low maintenance, long service life, and flexibility in material selection make them ideal for operations involving corrosive substances. The option for heat jacketing prevents common issues like icing and ensures reliable performance in various settings. Additionally, GEA supports customization and engineering assistance to meet specific process needs, enhancing the adaptability of these vacuum pumps to your production requirements.
