We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Vacuum Pump",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Test packages for leaks non-destructively from
Witt Gas Techniques, which we summarised at the time by saying "A leak detection system detects leaks in packages using water and compressed air, or as a non destructive leak tester for packages containing fluids, lubricants or water".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Robust self-priming pumps for optimum reliability from
SPX Process Equipment: "JP Pumps (a division of the SPX Process Equipment Operation) has designed the FreFlow range of self-priming centrifugal pumps based on the injection principle".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Edwards
concerning its Diffusion pump
- take a look at Diffusion pump for light and heavy-duty industry
which says: "BOC Edwards has launched the robust HT20B diffusion pump which provides consistent performance in light and heavy-duty industrial applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Gast, Ultra-quiet rotary vane air compressors,
as well as Radar meter chosen for range of dry vacuum pumps from Krohne,
and Leak detection system improves sealing properties from Witt Gas Techniques.
