What the manufacturer says
Elmo Rietschle, in its own words.
Statements from the manufacturer’s own website and documents, each with its source.
Rotary vane
Oil-lubricated or dry running
Elmo Rietschle makes its V-Series rotary vane vacuum pumps in two kinds, according to its website: oil-lubricated pumps such as the V-VCS, which use oil to seal and reach deeper vacuum, and dry running pumps such as the V-VTN and V-VTR, designed to operate without oil lubrication.
Elmo Rietschle describes its G-Series side channel blowers, also called regenerative blowers, as dry-running, contact-free machines for vacuum or pressure that typically achieve volume flows up to 3,000 m³/h depending on model and configuration, across the G-BH1, G-BH2, G-BH7 and G-BH100 series.
Elmo Rietschle names its current pumps by series, according to its website: V-Series rotary vane, C-Series claw, G-Series side channel, L-Series liquid ring and S-Series screw. Datasheets, installation manuals and spare parts lists are on its Technical Resources Finder, filtered by product, technology or document type.
