What Are Nash* Vacuum Pumps?
Nash vacuum pumps are widely recognized as the global standard for liquid ring vacuum technology. They are designed to operate continuously in harsh industrial conditions while delivering stable vacuum performance and long service life.
These systems are commonly used where moisture, vapor, or contaminated gases are present. Typical applications include chemical processing, paper manufacturing, food production, power generation, and medical vacuum systems. Their simple mechanical design and robust construction make them well-suited for critical processes that require dependable operation.
