The Brochure

The Wittig RFL brochure introduces a high-performance rotary vane compressor and vacuum pump designed specifically for vacuum tanker truck applications.

The Wittig RFL is engineered to deliver stronger vacuum levels, improved operating efficiency, and durable performance for demanding tank truck operations.

With continuous vacuum capability up to 24 inHg, the RFL pump exceeds the typical industry standard of 20 inHg, allowing operators to increase productivity while reducing operating costs.

Why It Matters

Vacuum tanker operations rely on strong, consistent suction to remove liquids, sludge, and debris from tanks, pits, and industrial systems.

Higher vacuum performance allows operators to:

  • Load materials faster
  • Operate longer hoses
  • Access deeper tanks and pits
  • Increase the number of jobs completed per day

The Wittig RFL pump is designed to improve vacuum performance and jobsite efficiency while reducing operating costs over the life of the equipment.

What’s Inside: The Wittig Advantage

The RFL pump’s design improves overall efficiency and system performance compared to traditional vacuum pump designs.

Higher efficiency results in several operational benefits:

  • Cooler running temperatures
  • Reduced risk of overheating
  • Lower oil consumption
  • Less oil smoke
  • Reduced operating costs

These performance advantages help vacuum truck operators maintain reliable equipment performance in demanding field conditions.

Deeper Vacuum for Faster Job Completion

This deeper vacuum capability provides several practical advantages in field operations:

  • Longer working hose lengths
  • Greater flexibility in tight job sites
  • Increased working depth for tanks and pits
  • Faster load and off-load cycles
  • Reduced loading times by up to 25%

Stronger vacuum performance allows operators to move material faster and complete more jobs per day.

Flexible Drive Options

Drive options include:

  • Right-angle gearbox drive
  • Hydraulic motor drive
  • V-belt drive systems

A central mounting point and keyed drive shaft simplify system integration and help ensure proper alignment during installation.

Cooling and Thermal Management

To maintain reliable operation during extended run times, the RFL pump includes an integrated cooling design.

Two shaft-mounted cooling fans move air across the pump housing and cooling fins, helping to maintain stable operating temperatures even during long duty cycles.

This cooling approach helps reduce overheating risks in demanding vacuum truck operations. 

Improved Vane Material

The pump uses new, improved vane materials designed to reduce operating noise and improve durability. 

These upgraded vanes provide smoother operation while maintaining consistent vacuum performance over time. 

Flexible Installation Options

Installation options include:

  • Top mounting suspension
  • Bottom mounting installation

This flexibility allows equipment installers to configure vacuum systems based on available chassis space and drive configurations. 

Reliable Lubrication System

Key lubrication features include:

  • Shaft-driven oil pump
  • Large oil reservoir for extended run periods
  • Oil sight glasses on both sides for easy inspection

Reliable lubrication helps protect internal components and extend service life. 

Installation Packages Available

The Wittig RFL pump can be configured with several installation packages depending on system requirements.

 

In-Line Drive Package
