Claw Compressors
Overview
The ICV-ICP series pumps are dry contact-less vacuum and compressor pumps with modular constructions consisting of compartments: pumping and gear chambers are separated by labyrinth seals. When the two claws rotate in opposite direction the air is sucked in the pumping chamber, compressed and discharged under pressure. In the gear chamber two gears with appropriate oil lubrication are placed for synchronizing the claws rotation. A built in anti-suck back valve installed in inlet flange will prevent the air from flowing back into the vacuum chamber when the pump is shutdown. The pumps are directly driven by a flanged motor through a coupling.
The ICP Series compressors are identical in internal construction to ICV pump, but are outfitted with different inlet and outlet accessories to allow for operation as a compressor. For reduction of noise, inlet silencer is installed in inlet side. For a protection of overload, a pressure safety valve or regulating valve is installed in exhaust side. The compressors are directly driven by a flanged motor via a coupling.

Main applications fields:
| Application / Industry | Typical Use of Dry Claw Compressor |
|---|---|
| Pneumatic Conveying (Positive Pressure Conveying) | Transporting powders, granules, seeds, plastics, grains, food ingredients, or chemicals through pipelines under low-pressure airflow. |
| Wastewater / Environmental Engineering | Aeration of treatment tanks, supplying low-pressure air for biological wastewater treatment, oxidation, and agitation. |
| Aquaculture / Fish Farming | Supplying clean, oil-free air to aeration systems, oxygenation, and fish-tank/pond circulation. |
| Food & Beverage Processing | Oil-free air for fermentation, mixing, agitation of liquids, beverage carbonation support systems (low-pressure), and hygienic operations requiring uncontaminated air. |
| Pharmaceutical & Chemical Manufacturing | Airflow for fluidization, blending, coating, drying, conveying powders, and pressurizing reactors where oil contamination must be avoided. |
| Industrial Automation / Machinery | Low-pressure compressed air for machine actuation, blow-off, drying components, cooling parts, and operating pneumatic tools/systems. |
| Printing / Paper / Packaging | Air knives, sheet separation, blow-off cleaning, pressurizing feeders, and drying printed surfaces. |
| Electronics / Clean Manufacturing | Oil-free blow-off, gentle dust removal, and process air for sensitive products that cannot be exposed to hydrocarbon oils. |
| Textile Industry | Yarn conveying, loom cleaning, air-jet weaving support, and removal of fiber fluff via blow-off. |
| General Industrial Processing | Combustion air supply, oxidizing processes, sparging tanks, agitation, and supplying low-pressure air where clean and continuous flow is required. |
