Range of Applications

The RFW waste vacuum pump is available in four configurations, with varying performance levels from each machine meaning we can offer the suction performance to suit your application. The integral oil tank and water cooling results in a reduced machine temperature and maximises oil separation. The RFW range is also available with ATEX Temperature Class T2 Certification for use in certain controlled environments.

Powerful Performance

The RFW is available in four configurations with higher air flow performance available on the larger machines. The option of an Air-Injected machine also provides continuous vacuum and lower discharge temperatures, ideal in areas with high ambient temperatures.

Specialised Ancillaries

The RFW is available with a wide range of bespoke transport focused ancillary products which both compliment and complete the pump installation. These include Suction Filters, Vacuum Ventilation Valves, Oil Separator-Silencers, Vacuum Relief Valves, Pressure Relief Valves, Non-Return Valves, Reverse Flow Valves and Water Coolers.

Drive Flexibility

We can offer a range of hydraulic drive connection kits for the RFW machines to suit various hydraulic motors. The RFW can also be driven directly by PTO prop shaft, by belts and pulleys, or by electric motor or diesel engine making it suitable for all types of installation.
