Vacuum pump Orion KHA Series

he Orion KHA series also consists of oil-free, dry rotary vane vacuum pumps, sharing many of the benefits of the KRF series but often with a focus on slightly different performance characteristics or design nuances.

Here’s a general overview of the Orion KHA vacuum pump series:

Key Features (Similar to KRF, with potential variations):

• Oil-Free Operation: Eliminates oil usage, leading to cleaner processes, reduced maintenance, and no risk of oil contamination.
• Low Maintenance Design: Engineered for minimal upkeep and longer service intervals.
• Quiet Operation: Designed to operate with reduced noise levels, contributing to a better working environment. Specific noise levels will vary by model.
• Cool Running Bearings: Similar to the KRF series, often featuring outboard bearings for better heat dissipation and extended bearing life.
• Built-in Filtration: Typically includes inlet filters to protect the pump from particulate matter, ensuring reliable operation. Silencers may also be integrated for noise reduction.
• Compact and Lightweight: Facilitates easy integration into various systems and machinery.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for both vacuum and pressure applications in many industrial settings.
• Durable Vane Material: Utilizes long-lasting vane materials, often carbon-based, designed for extended operational life.
• Motor Options: Available with various motor configurations (single-phase, three-phase) and voltage options to suit different power supplies.

Potential Differences or Emphasis Compared to KRF Series:

While the KHA and KRF series share the core benefits of oil-free rotary vane technology, there might be subtle differences in their design emphasis or performance characteristics. These could include:

• Specific Performance Ranges: The KHA series might focus on a particular range of flow rates or ultimate vacuum levels that differ slightly from the KRF series. It’s essential to consult the specific model specifications.
• Design Variations: There could be internal design differences in the pump housing, rotor, or vane configuration that optimize the pump for certain operating conditions or applications.
• Application Focus: While both series are versatile, one might be more commonly found in specific industries or applications due to subtle performance or feature variations.
• Size and Weight Profiles: Depending on the specific models, the KHA series might have a different range of physical dimensions and weights compared to the KRF series.

Typical Applications (Likely Overlapping with KRF, but verify specific model suitability):

Given the shared oil-free rotary vane technology, the applications for the KHA series are likely to overlap significantly with the KRF series. These may include:

• Packaging Machinery
• Printing and Binding Equipment
• Medical and Laboratory Applications
• Vacuum Lifting and Handling
• Robotics
• Plastic Processing (e.g., vacuum forming, degassing)
• Woodworking (CNC hold-down)
• Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing
• Environmental Sampling
• Food Processing

Model Variations and Specifications:

Similar to the KRF series, the KHA series will have various models with different specifications. When considering a specific KHA pump, it’s crucial to review the datasheet for that particular model to determine:

• Pumping Speed (Flow Rate): Expressed in L/min or m³/h.
• Ultimate Vacuum: Measured in kPa absolute or Torr.
• Operating Vacuum and Pressure Ranges: Recommended and maximum continuous operating levels.
• Motor Power and Electrical Specifications: Voltage, phase, and frequency requirements.
• Inlet and Outlet Port Sizes: Connection types and dimensions.
• Noise Level: Measured in dB(A).
• Weight and Dimensions: Physical size and weight of the pump.
