Somarakis design improvements add years to the life of
our liquid ring
vacuum pumps and compressors. Many
of our design features are unique
to the industry.
The patented Vac-Seal arrangement is split to facilitate installation,
and vacuum evacuated to prevent leakage of seal water.
The secondary bearing, a feature unique to Somarakis pumps,
is located
within the seal area to support the shaft in the event
of bearing failure,
and prevent rotor/cone contact.
For greater efficiency, Somarakis pumps have a shrouded
pump
body. This design feature permits dual vacuum
service from a single
pump. We also have 20-vane rotors
which move air more efficiently
than do 16-vane rotors.
To provide maximum installation and parts stock
flexibility,
Somarakis SV series vacuum pumps and compressors are
directly interchangeable with the Nash CL series. Our SVP series
is directly interchangeable with the Nash 904 series. And our
HV series is interchangeable with the Nash K, L, and H series.
