VPM series are monoblok type which means that the pump is fixed straight to the motor flange and the pump impeller fitted directly on the motor shaft. This version makes the pump extremely compact suitable to be installed on OEM equipment. Motor options available are as follows: 50Hz, 50/60Hz and 60Hz UL. Originally introduced in the market by Centra Vacuum Technology, this line of pumps is of very simple design in order to provide the highest reliability: just one moving part, the impeller. The construction available is cast iron with bronze impeller only. VPM pumps are widely used in any industrial application involving vacuum due to their versatility and low space requirements. Major applications are in the plastic industry, sterilisation, food, textile, soil remediation and others requesting gas and vapour extraction. VPM series has recently replaced with the FindeR MEX but it is still available due to the high installed base."
