Dry claw vacuum pumps are designed with a unique claw-shaped rotor that operates without any lubrication in the compression chamber, ensuring a clean and oil-free vacuum solution.
Air-cooled and compact, dry claw vacuum pumps are the right choice for rough vacuum applications such as CNC routing, pneumatic conveying, and central hospital systems. Claw pumps are an ideal solution to use with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). Features like corrosion resistance contribute to the durable design, while modular configurations allow for easy disassembly or repairs. The energy-efficient design offers energy savings over other vacuum technologies. Dry claw technology is offered in a wide range of standard sizes and can be modified for special applications.
Dry claw vacuum technology is based on a static compression system. In contrast to rotary lobes, compression happens internally by volume contraction. Inside the pumps, two claw-shaped rotors turn in opposite direction inside the cylinder wall. These rotors operate without the aid of a sealing fluid and in a non-contacting manner due to the tight machining tolerances and their unique claw shape.
As the claw-shaped rotors move, they expand a volume of air at the inlet of the pump, carrying that volume around the outside of the pumping chamber, and then compressing that volume out of the exhaust. The shape of the claw maximizes transport volume per cycle while effectively timing the opening and closing of the suction and exhaust channels against expansion and contraction of that volume.
Low noise levels
Dry claw technology operates without sealing fluid inside the pumping chamber which greatly reduces maintenance intervals and costs. Claw pumps offer features such as corrosion resistance and modular configuration for easy disassembly and repairs.
As dry claw technology is non-contacting, friction is minimized, and energy efficiency is maximized.
Dry claw technology is VSD compatible, which offers significant energy savings compared to fixed-speed machines.
Dry claw vacuum pumps are a flexible solution that can be custom-engineered to meet the requirements of specific applications.

The addition of optional coatings and shutdown purging can enable claw pumps to handle higher water vapor processes such as municipal sewage lift stations. Pump flushability allows them to deal with harsher processes with carryover such as plastic extrusion and molding. With minimal maintenance, they are an ideal choice for applications such as CNC routing hold down or vacuum manipulation of objects for automation tasks.
Dry vacuum technology is required in a considerable number of applications including plastic extrusion, drying, bottling, packaging, and within central hospital systems worldwide. Dry claw vacuum pumps are sometimes used in tandem with booster pumps but can be used alone when high vacuum or slower pumpdown rates are allowed. These pumps are a preferred choice in the following applications:
