Vacuum pumps for the textile industry

Knitting machines, weaving machines, cutting and carpet drying – Elmo Rietschle describes where vacuum and blower air work in textile plants: dirt extraction on circular and flat knitting machines, yarn handling and selvedge extraction on air-jet weaving machines, air cushions and vacuum on fabric cutting tables, vacuum pumps on suction rolls for dyed carpets. Elmo Rietschle is the only one of our manufacturers to name the industry, with the V, G, L and C families. Below you can see which series the manufacturers themselves name for these tasks – 130 models from 1 manufacturers.

In short

Textiles: vacuum pumps – the key facts

  • Four familiesFor knitting, carpet drying, cutting and yarn treatment, Elmo Rietschle names the V (rotary vane), G (side channel), L (liquid ring) and C (claw) families.
  • Side channel blowersAccording to Elmo Rietschle, side channel blowers of the G family extract the dirt on circular and flat knitting machines.
  • DryingFor vacuum drying, Elmo Rietschle names rotary vane vacuum pumps with high water vapour tolerance (V-VC 40–150, 40–180 m³/h), and for short evacuation times the S-VSI 300 with up to 380 m³/h and 0.1 mbar (abs.).
  • Air cushion and vacuumAccording to Elmo Rietschle, fabric cutting tables position the fabric on an air cushion and fix it with vacuum – positioning with air, fixing with vacuum.

Applications

Textiles: what vacuum pumps are used for

For each application: what the vacuum does and which series the manufacturers name for it. The information comes from the manufacturers’ own pages.

Circular and flat knitting machines

Knitting produces lint and dirt; for dirt extraction on circular and flat knitting machines, Elmo Rietschle names side channel blowers of the G family.

Air-jet weaving machines and yarn treatment

On air-jet weaving machines, Elmo Rietschle names yarn handling and selvedge extraction; Elmo Rietschle lists the steam treatment of yarn without describing it. The manufacturer assigns no series to these tasks; for the textile industry as a whole, it names the V, G, L and C families.

Carpet drying and dewatering

According to Elmo Rietschle, dyed carpets are dewatered and dried with vacuum pumps on suction rolls. For vacuum drying, Elmo Rietschle names versions with high water vapour tolerance – V-VC 40–150 with 40–180 m³/h – and for short evacuation times the S-VSI 300 with up to 380 m³/h and 0.1 mbar (abs.).

Fabric cutting tables and CNC cutting

On fabric cutting tables, an air cushion positions the fabric and vacuum fixes it for cutting; according to Elmo Rietschle, vacuum provides secure fixing in CNC machining. The manufacturer names no series for this.

Selection

Textiles: choosing a vacuum pump

What the manufacturers highlight for use in this industry.

Water vapour

In carpet drying and dewatering, water vapour gets into the pump; for vacuum drying, Elmo Rietschle names rotary vane versions with high water vapour tolerance.

Vacuum, air or both

Dirt extraction and selvedge extraction work with side channel blowers, cutting tables need an air cushion and vacuum, suction rolls need vacuum pumps – for the industry, Elmo Rietschle names rotary vane (V), side channel (G), liquid ring (L) and claw (C).

Evacuation time

Where evacuation has to be fast, Elmo Rietschle names the S-VSI 300 with up to 380 m³/h and 0.1 mbar (abs.); for vacuum drying, V-VC 40–150 with 40–180 m³/h.

Frequently asked questions

Textiles: frequently asked questions about vacuum pumps

Which vacuum pump for textile machines?

For the textile industry, Elmo Rietschle names the V (rotary vane), G (side channel), L (liquid ring) and C (claw) families, and as tasks knitting, carpet drying, cutting and yarn treatment. Specifically assigned are G-BH side channel blowers for dirt extraction on knitting machines and V rotary vane vacuum pumps for vacuum drying.

Which blower for dirt extraction on knitting machines?

For circular and flat knitting machines, Elmo Rietschle names side channel blowers of the G family (G-BH1, G-BH2, G-BH7, G-BH9, G-BH100).

Which vacuum pump for fabric cutting tables and cutters?

According to Elmo Rietschle, an air cushion positions the fabric and vacuum fixes it; for CNC machining, Elmo Rietschle names secure fixing by vacuum. The manufacturer names no specific series for this.

How are carpets dried after dyeing?

Elmo Rietschle names vacuum pumps on suction rolls that dewater and dry dyed carpets, and for vacuum drying versions with high water vapour tolerance (V-VC 40–150, 40–180 m³/h).

Which vacuum pump for vacuum drying in the textile industry?

Elmo Rietschle names V-VC 40–150 rotary vane vacuum pumps (40–180 m³/h) with high water vapour tolerance, and for short evacuation times the S-VSI 300 screw vacuum pump with up to 380 m³/h and 0.1 mbar (abs.).

Which pump for air-jet looms?

On air-jet weaving machines, Elmo Rietschle names yarn handling and selvedge extraction without assigning a series; for dirt extraction on knitting machines, the manufacturer names side channel blowers of the G family.

Why is water vapour tolerance important in drying?

Under vacuum, water evaporates at a lower temperature, and the vapour is drawn into the pump. For vacuum drying, Elmo Rietschle names versions with high water vapour tolerance (V-VC 40–150).

Which pump families does Elmo Rietschle name for the textile industry?
