Oil-Lubricated Rotary Vane Pumps
Elmo Rietschle Oil-Lubricated Rotary Vane Pumps deliver reliable vacuum performance with long vane life, low noise levels, and advanced oil recycling systems.
Precision Parts Cleaning & Surface Preparation
- Industry Challenge: Residual oils and contaminants from machining compromise component quality and adhesion in subsequent coating or assembly steps.
- Optimized Solution: Elmo Rietschle vacuum and compressor systems deliver reliable performance for critical cleaning stages - including de-oiling, vacuum drying, and dry-blasting. This ensures perfectly clean, dry parts ready for assembly.
- Outcome: Enhanced component quality, improved coating adhesion, and reduced rejection rates in automotive parts manufacturing.
Composite Material Production for Lightweighting
Industry Challenge: Air pockets and inconsistent resin distribution create weak points in lightweight composite structures used in EVs and luxury vehicles.
Optimized Solution: Vacuum bagging systems create uniform pressure, eliminating voids and optimizing fiber-to-resin ratios for maximum strength-to-weight performance.
Outcome: Production of high-strength, defect-free composite components that meet strict automotive safety and efficiency standards.
Injection Molding & Die-Casting for Component Fabrication
Industry Challenge: Trapped air in complex molds causes surface defects and structural flaws in interior panels, under-hood components, and trim.
Optimized Solution: High-efficiency vacuum pumps rapidly evacuate air from mold cavities before material injection, ensuring a perfect fill.
Outcome: Precise, defect-free parts with minimal waste, supporting high-volume production schedules.
Automated Handling & Pneumatic Conveying
Industry Challenge: Manual handling of components is slow and risks damage, creating production bottlenecks.
Optimized Solution: Our claw vacuum pumps and side channel blowers provide the reliable vacuum flow for suction cups and conveying systems to move parts, panels, and materials safely and efficiently.
Outcome: Enhanced workflow speed, reduced labor costs, and protected product integrity from machining to final assembly.
