5.2 DIRECTION OF ROTATION
Before starting the Rotary blades vacuum pump make sure that the P.T.O. shaft turns freely and
that the direction of rotation is the same as the one indicated by the arrow.
Never turn the rotary blades vacuum pump in the direction of rotation opposite to the one for which it has been prepared (indicated
by the arrow) as this could damage some components as well as prevent the operation of the pump.
6 - SET -UP OF THE LUBRIFICATION SYSTEM
Three different types of lubrication have been developed for the Rotary blades vacuum pump (see Figure 3).
6.1 NORMAL LUBRICATION
Lubrication occurs during the intake phase only. The vacuum created in the Rotary blades vacuum pump sucks oil from the tank. In
the compression phase lubrication occurs with the residue of oil from the preceding phase. Normal lubrication is available only for
models MEC 1000 and MEC 1600 that are manufactured with only this type of lubrication.
6.2 FORCED LUBRICATION
Lubrication occurs in both the intake phase and the compression phase through a gear pump placed at the back and actuated by the
rotor shaft. The gear pump sucks oil from the tank and sends it to the manually adjusted metering tap. Excess oil returns to the tank
through a tube connecting the tap to the tank. Forced lubrication is available as standard feature on models MEC 2000/13500 and
STAR.
6.3 AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION
With this system lubrication occurs in both the intake phase and the compression phase by means of a piston metering pump with
adjustable flow rate placed at the back and actuated by the rotor. The oil is injected directly into the Rotary blades vacuum pump,
eliminating manual adjustment and saving a considerable amount of oil. Automatic lubrication is supplied, on request, on models
MEC 1000/13500 and STAR and standard on model MEC 16500.

6.4 OIL TO USE
The Rotary blades vacuum pump are supplied without lubritication oil in the oil tank. BPP suggest to use "Battioni Pagani vacuum
pump oil" for internal lubrification. It grants.
- Excellent resistance to oxidation
- Strong anti-rust property
- Excellent anti foam power
- Working temperature from -5 °C to 160 °C
IF "VACUUM PUMP OIL" IS NOT AVAILABLE, USE ONLY NEW MINERAL OIL MEETING ISO VG 100 (SAE 30)
