A vacuum pump (air pump) is a key mechanical device that creates and maintains a vacuum or low-pressure environment by extracting gases and reducing air pressure.
It performs a variety of functions, including vacuum generation, vacuum maintenance, gas handling, and process support, making it an indispensable tool in a wide range of fields such as industrial manufacturing, scientific research, electronics, healthcare, food packaging, and aerospace.
From everyday vacuum packaging and ultra-high vacuum processes in chip manufacturing to vacuum simulation in aerospace applications, vacuum pumps play a core role in driving technological advancement, industrial upgrading, and product quality improvement. They are one of the fundamental and essential pieces of equipment in modern industry and technological development.
