Special technical features

The TFK 12 is a dry running rotary vane air pump for creating either vacuum or pressure. Special carbon
materials and high construction tolerances allow low maintenance and high performance.
Lubrication free: All parts of the pump are self-lubricating and must not be lubricated.
-
Drive: The shaft can be driven successfully through normally available direct couplings, belt
-
drives or gears. Here the performance can be significantly altered.
Service: Other than cleaning and filter changes, the service is limited to a vane service. Such a
-
service can readily be performed by the operator.
This pump is intended for use at a speed of 1400 RPM. Please take into consideration
that at higher speed the service interval can be reduced.
