MV Series - Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump

Liquid-ring vacuum pump for industrial process duty.

Product Description

The Makida MV family of liquid-ring vacuum pumps covers seven sub-series — from compact close-coupled monoblocks to large engineered vacuum units. The liquid ring compresses almost isothermally, so the pump handles condensable vapours and liquid carry-over that would destroy dry vacuum machines, making it the standard choice for process vacuum across the chemical, food and general industries. Full performance data for every model is available in the Makida Pump Selector vacuum module.

Design & Standards

  • Design: Liquid-ring, single-stage; close-coupled monoblock (M2BV) and baseplate / engineered units (M2BE)
  • Standard: Selected and rated per Makida M2BV / M2BE engineering data
  • Shaft seal: Mechanical seal (service-liquid flushed)

Key Features

  • Seven sub-series: M2BV2 & M2BV5 cast-iron monoblocks (IP54 / IP55), M2BV3 polypropylene monoblock, M2BV6 stainless close-coupled, M2BV7 stainless monoblock, M2BE1 baseplate vacuum units, M2BE3 large speed-controlled units
  • Explosion-protected (EEx) motor variants available on M2BV6, M2BV7 and M2BE1
  • Near-isothermal compression — tolerates condensable vapours, wet gas and liquid slugs
  • Close-coupled monoblock construction — no coupling alignment, minimal footprint
  • Corrosion-resistant options: polypropylene or stainless-steel wetted parts
  • Model-by-model curves and dimensions in the Makida Pump Selector vacuum module
