VacuStar WR 800 and WR 1600 – liquid ring
Compact liquid ring vacuum pumps, also for aquaculture
The WR 800 and WR 1600 are the entry-level models of the liquid ring range: compact, light and efficient. A liquid ring compresses the air; it copes particularly well with humid and contaminated air.
They work on suction and jetting vehicles and in aquaculture, for example for CO₂ degassing and fish processing.
Flow rate
800 to 1,600 m³/h
Vacuum
down to 130 mbar
Pressure
up to 2 bar (g)
Power requirement
27.5 to 52 kW
Why VacuStar WR 800 and WR 1600?
Aluminium components save weight and increase the payload, and the stainless steel impeller lasts a long time. Quiet running makes them suitable for work in residential areas.

Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage of a liquid ring?
The air is compressed by a rotating ring of water, without friction between metal parts. This makes the pump quiet and insensitive to moisture and dirt.
How is the compressor driven?
Depending on the vehicle, via power take-off and cardan shaft, V-belt or hydraulic motor. We work out with you and the body builder which drive is right.
Who supplies, installs and maintains it?
We do. As CVS representative, we supply compressors and vacuum pumps, advise on installation in the vehicle and take care of maintenance and repairs.
