How much are they asking ? im looking at a rc 0063 its 3hp here in Ontario They need a moisture trap for sure and a VFD in most cases. My research has found a lot of these vaine pumps are used in the cnc bussiness holding material in place and vaccing particles away from the work piece. They are a dry running pump but have a oil sump .sap or whatever it is used for doesnt touch the pump interior or oil area. I did call busch tech staff and confirmed it will work with maple sap.The seller also sent a video of it working pulled 29.8" vac with a pc of wood covering the intake. this pump asking price is 2000 cdn with VFD included.
