What types of vacuum pumps does Kakati manufacture?

At Kakati Pumps, we specialize in the design and manufacture of liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors. Our product range includes: Single-stage pumps like the KV-Series, Two-stage pumps such as the KDS-Series, KVT-Series, Energy-efficient pumps like the KEN-Series, High-capacity pumps like the KXL-Series, and Customized vacuum systems for specialized industrial needs. All our products are built for durability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

How does a liquid ring vacuum pump work?

A liquid ring vacuum pump works by using a rotating impeller inside a casing partially filled with sealing liquid (usually water). As the impeller spins, a ring of liquid forms and creates sealed spaces that trap and compress gases. At Kakati, our pumps are engineered to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability, even in demanding applications.

What’s the difference between single-stage and two-stage pumps?

Single-stage pumps (like our KV-Series) are ideal for standard vacuum requirements. Two-stage pumps (KDS, KVT-Series) achieve deeper vacuum and are more energy-efficient at lower pressures. Kakati offers both and helps you choose based on your performance and cost goals.

What is “vacuum level” vs “ultimate vacuum” and why does it matter?

The 'vacuum level' refers to the operating pressure your process needs (e.g., in Torr, mbar, or mmHg), while 'ultimate vacuum' is the lowest pressure the pump can ideally reach under perfect conditions. At Kakati Pumps, we ensure our specifications list both, ensuring consistent real-world performance.

What are the key factors to consider before buying a vacuum pump?

Consider vacuum level, capacity (m³/hr or CFM), gas/vapour composition, duty cycle, temperature, and material compatibility. Kakati conducts free pre-selection audits to ensure clients get the right match for their process.

What problems can occur if I don’t maintain the seal liquid properly?

Poor quality or improper volume of seal liquid can lead to low vacuum, overheating, vibration, or corrosion. Kakati provides closed-loop seal-water systems and training to prevent such issues.

What’s the maintenance schedule for a liquid ring vacuum pump?

We recommend: Monthly inspection of seal liquid, Quarterly checks on bearings and clearances, Annual overhauls for continuous duty pumps. Kakati Pumps provides AMC (Annual Maintenance Contracts) to ensure optimal performance.

How do I troubleshoot common vacuum pump problems like low vacuum or noise?

We at Kakati usually check: Leaks in the inlet or piping, Seal liquid level or flow, Filters or strainers clogging, Impeller-to-casing clearance, Blade, bearing, or motor wear. We also provide a technical helpline and troubleshooting guides.

Why choose a liquid ring vacuum pump instead of a dry or oil-lubricated pump?

Liquid ring pumps are better for wet gas, vapours, and condensables — they handle contaminants easily, have fewer moving parts, and run cooler with less maintenance.
