Industrial Vacuum Pumps
Rotary vane, claw, and dry running vacuum pumps for packaging, handling, and general process vacuum.
Vacuum Pumps and Systems: Sales, Sizing, and Service
Industrial, liquid ring, and medical vacuum, sized to your process and serviced from 14 Midwest locations.
Which vacuum pump family fits my application?
Choose by the gas stream and the vacuum level you need. Dry running industrial pumps such as rotary vane and claw suit clean, dry duty. Liquid ring pumps take on wet, dirty, and condensable loads that would ruin a dry pump. Medical vacuum systems deliver continuous, redundant clinical suction. Brabazon sizes all three against your real air load and then supports the equipment with parts and service from 14 Midwest locations.

Vacuum equipment that matches the load, not the catalog
Industrial vacuum covers a wide range of jobs, from holding and lifting product on a packaging line to pulling process vapors, degassing, drying, and evacuating vessels. The right pump depends far more on the character of the gas stream than on the brand on the nameplate. A clean, dry stream at a moderate vacuum level is a very different problem from a stream loaded with moisture, solvent vapor, or entrained liquid, and picking the wrong technology is the most common reason a vacuum installation runs hot, fouls quickly, or fails to reach its target vacuum.
Dry running pumps such as rotary vane and claw designs are efficient and clean for dry duty, and they avoid the water handling that a liquid ring pump requires. When the process throws off condensable vapor or the stream carries carryover liquid and particulate, a liquid ring pump earns its keep: the sealing liquid absorbs heat and tolerates wet, dirty loads that would quickly wear a dry pump. Medical vacuum sits apart again, built around continuous clinical suction, redundancy, and the reliability expectations of a care setting.
Getting the sizing right matters as much as the technology. The pump has to hold your working vacuum level at the actual air load, which means accounting for the volume being evacuated, real world leakage, process outgassing, and any vapor that flashes off under vacuum. Size too small and the system never reaches vacuum. Size too large and you waste energy and shorten seal and vane life. On the service side, the failure modes vary by type: dry pumps care about clean gas and vane or tip wear, liquid ring pumps depend on clean sealing liquid and correct separation, and medical systems live and die by preventive maintenance and redundancy. We help you plan for all of it up front rather than after the first shutdown.

Vacuum pump questions, answered first
What type of vacuum pump does my process need?
Start with the load: how deep a vacuum you need, how much air or vapor you pull, and whether the gas stream is clean, wet, or contaminated. Rotary vane and claw pumps suit clean, dry duty at moderate to deep vacuum. Liquid ring pumps handle wet, dirty, and condensable loads that would damage a dry pump. Medical systems are built for continuous clinical suction with redundancy. Tell us the vacuum level, flow, and gas stream and we will match the technology before quoting a brand.
Do you service vacuum pumps or only sell them?
Both. Our technicians repair and rebuild vacuum pumps and systems in the shop and in the field, so you can start with a sale, a rebuild, or ongoing service. See our vacuum pump repair page to schedule work or ask about a loaner while yours is down.
How do I size a vacuum pump correctly?
Size to the working vacuum level and the real air load, not just the pump nameplate. Account for the volume being evacuated, leakage, process outgassing, and any vapor load, then confirm the pump holds your target vacuum at that flow with margin. Undersizing leaves you unable to reach vacuum, while oversizing wastes energy and shortens seal life. Send your numbers and an engineer will confirm the working point.
