The ZBK series of Roots vacuum pumps is characterized by its high efficiency, compact size, light weight, and energy saving, and is widely used in vacuum dehydration in the paper, food, chemical, and garment industries, as well as in smoke extraction in the tobacco industry. The suction medium can be dry air, humid air, or a mixture of gas and water, but the medium must not contain solid particles.

Pumping speed characteristics and power characteristics of Roots type ZBK vacuum pump set
When selecting this series of Roots vacuum pump sets, the required working capacity of the vacuum system for this product must first be known, that is, the pumping speed under the vacuum degree of use, and the appropriate model should be chosen to achieve the expected effect. However, some users do not fully master the system parameters, only knowing the required vacuum degree but not the extraction amount required at that vacuum degree. In this case, selection can be made by comparing with applications of units already used, according to the specific situation of the vacuum system, the type of paper, the extraction speed, the model, and the part of use.
Instructions:
1. P - Vacuum degree (kpa)
2. V - Pumping speed under vacuum state on the suction side (m/h)
3. N - Actual power consumed (KW)
Operating principle of Roots type ZBK vacuum pump set


The basic types of this series of Roots type ZBK vacuum pumps are horizontal and vertical, as shown in Figure 2.


The structure of the Roots type ZBK vacuum pump is shown in Figure 1, mainly composed of two ends 1, the pump body 5, and a pair of "8"-shaped rotors 3. There is a certain space between the working surfaces of these "8"-shaped rotors, and the relative position between the two rotors determines this space. Therefore, the adjustment of the space or the relative position of the two rotors is done by adjusting the relative position of the synchronizing gears. The motor drives the active rotor through a V-belt, and the other rotor is driven by the synchronizing gears so that both rotate synchronously. During operation, the volume on the suction side expands and the volume on the discharge side contracts, completing the suction and discharge action, creating the system vacuum. The outlet of the pump body has a silencing box that also stabilizes pressure, seals, and improves the working efficiency of the pump body.
Product installation:
The Roots type ZBK vacuum pump is divided into two types: with base plate and without base plate. If the user purchases the product without a base plate, they can equip the base plate and motor base rail for installation according to the dimensions provided in Figures 3, 4 and Tables 2 and 3. The base plane is determined by the user according to the dimensions of the base plate and motor base rail they have. The installation of the motor on the inlet side or outlet side depends on process and piping needs. If the user purchases the product with a base plate, it must be indicated in the order contract.
Use and maintenance:
1. Before using a new pump, check if the lubricating oil in the gearbox is suitable; the oil level should be maintained within ±2 mm of the oil level line, and lubrication should be checked regularly.
2. Before starting a newly installed pump, manually rotate the pulley to move the two rotors and confirm that there are no foreign objects inside the pump; then perform a smooth test start before normal operation.
3. Each time the pump stops for maintenance, open the drain valve before starting to remove accumulated water to avoid excessive starting load that may cause rotor shaft deformation or motor burn.
4. After prolonged operation, the gear teeth wear out. When the wear reaches a certain limit, the two rotors may collide. In this case, loosen the driving gear bolts (see Figure 1), remove the safety pins, adjust the circumferential position of the gear ring. If adjusting the ring in one direction reduces the space between the working surfaces of the rotors and causes collision, adjust in the opposite direction. Generally, the ring adjustment angle is less than 30°, until the space between the working surfaces of the rotors is approximately uniform and no collision occurs. Then tighten the gear bolts.
6. After tightening the bolts, if there are no abnormalities in operation, drill and grind the positioning pin holes and install the safety pins.
5. The gears and bearings are lubricated by oil bath; the bearing on the pulley side can be lubricated by injecting calcium-based lubricating oil through the oil hole in the bearing cover.
6. When a new pump starts operation or gears are replaced, the gear lubricating oil should be changed after about half a month of operation. Then, depending on the season, the oil type is changed; generally, motor oil number 30~40 is used. Oil is changed once per quarter and any oil leakage or spill must be avoided.
7. Because the pump inlet side is under vacuum, when the packing or oil seal fails, no external water leakage is observed during operation, but there is actually air leakage inside the pump, reducing efficiency. Therefore, proper pressure should be maintained on the gland (or oil seal pressure plate) and defective packing or oil seal ring should be replaced in time.
8. If the suction medium is air or vapor with very low moisture, the pump efficiency is low, manifested as low vacuum degree and low extraction amount. In this case, a 1/2" to 3/4" water supply pipe can be added at the pump inlet, regulating the water amount by a valve to improve the pump's working capacity. If the suction medium cannot contact water, another liquid can be used as a supplement, but not excessively to avoid energy waste. In paper machines, generally no water addition is needed, except when using a steam and water separator as in Figure 10 or when suctioning low moisture from the fabric, in which case water is added appropriately.
9. If during use the pump operates well but capacity is somewhat insufficient, it can be replaced by a higher capacity pump or increase the speed, but the speed should not exceed 600 rpm and sufficient power must be available.
