RBP Series
Oil-Less Roots Booster Vacuum Pump
Becker RBP Series vacuum pumps are high vacuum, dry booster pumps that operate using the Roots operating principle. In combination with an oil-lubricated rotary vane pump, Roots booster pumps, or Roots blowers are often used in pumping stations to achieve a very high-volume flow with a deep final vacuum. No oil to change and only minimal maintenance is required.
Each RBP Series pump comes standard with:
- Bypass valve
- Built-in inlet filter
- Vacuum regulating valve
- Vibration isolators
- Discharge silencers

Problems with Lab Vacuum Systems & How to Solve Them
Researchers, teachers, and students rely on a dependable negative pressure source to deliver consistent, accurate, and repeatable lab results. When lab vacuum systems underperform or fail, even partially, it can delay or disrupt important research, skew results, damage equipment, reduce productivity, and even create unsafe working conditions. The most common...
Sizing Pipes for a Vacuum Pump
Properly sizing plumbing pipes for a vacuum pump ensures the pump’s operating pressure is high enough to maintain the required vacuum at the end of the pipe without pressure disruptions. Certain types of vacuum systems require long lengths of piping between the pump and the operational head. For example, a...
How to Wire Your Vacuum Pump Properly
To wire a Becker vacuum pump, follow common practices for wiring a 3-phase induction motor with 9 post terminals. The most common motor design for industrial pumps uses three phases of alternating current offset from each other by 120 degrees. Each phase is connected to two copper wire windings. As...
