Dekker Vacuum Pumps & Systems
High-Performance Industrial Vacuum Pumps
Industrial Air Services supplies Dekker vacuum pumps and engineered vacuum systems for demanding industrial applications throughout Tennessee and surrounding markets. Our team helps manufacturers, healthcare facilities, food processors, packaging companies, plastics manufacturers, woodworking operations, pharmaceutical facilities, and power-generation plants select the right vacuum technology for their process.
Titan Series Liquid Ring Pumps
Titan Series pumps are single-stage, variable-port liquid ring pumps designed for demanding industrial environments. They can achieve vacuum levels up to 29 inches HgV and are built for efficient operation with minimal seal-fluid requirements.
Maxima Series Large-Capacity Pumps
Maxima Series pumps are designed for high-volume, heavy-duty vacuum and compression applications. The product line includes single-stage and two-stage configurations, with capacity options extending up to 39,000 CFM for vacuum and 5,000 CFM for compression.
Gryphon Series Dry Claw Pumps
Gryphon dry claw pumps provide an oil-free pumping solution in a compact, plug-and-play design. Synchronized claw-shaped rotors move and compress gas without liquid sealing in the pumping chamber.
Their low-noise operation, simple maintenance requirements, and clean, dry vacuum characteristics make them suitable for applications where oil contamination must be avoided or minimized.
DuraVane Lubricated And Oil Free Rotary Vane Pumps
DuraVane pumps are available in both lubricated and oil-free configurations.
Lubricated rotary vane pumps offer quiet, robust operation for rough-vacuum applications such as packaging, plastics, medical processes, and general manufacturing. Oil-free rotary vane pumps are designed for applications that require a clean pumping chamber and reduced risk of oil contamination.
When comparing these configurations, consider vacuum requirements, exhaust handling, process contamination, wear components, filtration, and maintenance intervals.
HullVac Rotary Piston Pumps
HullVac rotary piston pumps are available in single-stage and two-stage designs for continuous, heavy-duty vacuum service. Their range of sizes and capacities supports demanding applications where rugged construction and dependable operation are important.
Engineered Dekker Vacuum Systems
Industrial Air Services can help evaluate pre-engineered and custom-built Dekker vacuum systems for applications requiring integrated equipment, controls, separation, cooling, or specialized sealing arrangements.
Featured system configurations include:
AquaSeal water-sealed systems for water-intensive processes, with full or partial fluid-recovery options
ChemSeal solvent-sealed systems for applications involving solvent use or recovery
DuraVane rotary vane systems in simplex, duplex, and tank-mounted arrangements
Vmax oil-sealed liquid ring systems with separation technology designed to reduce oil carryover and support continuous-duty operation
Healthcare applications may also require configurations aligned with NFPA 99 requirements. System design should account for process conditions, redundancy, utilities, exhaust handling, controls, and future capacity needs.
Applications and Industries Served
Dekker vacuum pumps and systems may support:
Woodworking and CNC machining
Plastics manufacturing and injection molding
Power generation
Food and beverage processing
Packaging
Medical and healthcare facilities
Pharmaceutical and laboratory operations
General manufacturing
A properly sized system should be selected based on the actual working vacuum rather than ultimate vacuum alone. Important inputs include required absolute pressure, gas load, evacuation time, simultaneous users, piping losses, leaks, moisture, and process vapors.

Dekker Vacuum Pumps and Systems FAQ
Which Dekker pump technologies are featured on this page?
Our page includes Titan liquid ring, Maxima large-capacity, Gryphon dry claw, DuraVane rotary vane, and HullVac rotary piston equipment. Each technology should be compared against the application's working vacuum and process load.
What engineered Dekker systems are featured?
Featured systems include AquaSeal water-sealed, ChemSeal solvent-sealed, DuraVane packaged rotary vane, and Vmax oil-sealed liquid ring arrangements. Confirm the selected package's materials, utilities, and operating capabilities for the intended application.
How does a liquid ring vacuum pump work?
An impeller rotates within seal liquid, forming gas pockets that change volume as the rotor turns. This action draws gas into the pump and discharges it at a higher pressure.
What is a dry claw vacuum pump?
A dry claw pump uses synchronized claw-shaped rotors to move and compress gas without liquid sealing in the pumping chamber. Process compatibility and maintenance requirements still depend on the specific model and installation.
How do lubricated and oil-free rotary vane pumps differ?
A lubricated design uses oil in the pumping mechanism, while an oil-free pumping chamber operates without that oil supply. Compare vacuum performance, process contamination, exhaust handling, and wear-component service for the selected designs.
How do I size a vacuum system?
Define the required absolute pressure, gas load, evacuation time, and operating schedule. Include leaks, piping losses, moisture, and simultaneous users so the chosen pump supplies adequate capacity at the actual working pressure.
Why is operating vacuum more useful than ultimate vacuum?
Ultimate vacuum represents a limiting pressure under specified conditions. Your process continuously introduces gas or vapor, so the pump's available capacity at the required working pressure is more relevant to application performance.
Can a vacuum system serve several production machines?
Yes, with suitable piping, controls, and capacity for combined demand. Evaluate peak usage and individual process requirements, then consider isolation and backup arrangements for a shared system serving multiple production areas.
How does seal-liquid temperature affect performance?
Seal-liquid temperature influences its vapor pressure and the vacuum a liquid ring system can achieve. Review cooling, circulation, and operating temperatures if capacity declines or the system struggles to reach its required pressure.
Can a vacuum system handle process liquids and vapors?
Some configurations suit wet or vapor-heavy duties, but allowable loads and compatibility vary. Describe normal and upset conditions so the pump, inlet separation, cooling, and liquid-management arrangements can be properly evaluated.
Does an oil-free vacuum pump need maintenance?
Yes. Oil-free operation in the pumping chamber does not eliminate filters, wear parts, cooling checks, or other scheduled service. Follow the model's instructions and account for the actual contamination and operating hours.
Why might a vacuum system lose suction?
Leaks, loaded filters, restrictions, added process demand, or equipment wear can reduce available vacuum. Compare readings near the pump and at the process before attributing the problem to the pump itself.
What should I consider for vacuum exhaust?
Review gas composition, moisture, temperature, and possible lubricant carryover. Select suitable exhaust piping and any needed separation or treatment while keeping backpressure within the pump manufacturer's permitted operating conditions.
Can an existing vacuum system be expanded?
Expansion may be possible after reviewing pump capacity, network losses, controls, and utilities. Include simultaneous operation of the new and existing equipment when evaluating whether the current installation can support additional demand.
What information is needed for a Dekker quote?
Provide the application, target pressure, required flow or evacuation time, process contaminants, and operating schedule. Include existing equipment details, available utilities, installation space, and any problems you want a replacement to address.
