We are proud to be Ireland’s leading vacuum pump suppliers to industrial and plant operations. Our aim is help your plant operate safely, competitively, and profitably.
Vacuum pumps have a rich history. They’ve been around for over three and a half centuries and operate on the principle of removing gas molecules from sealed volumes, which leaves behind a partial vacuum. Modern vacuum pumps and systems function across a wide range of industrial applications, including plastic moulding processes, semiconductor production, medical processes, and many more.
In addition to distributing our vacuum pump range, Cotter Marketing also offer other pump types and ancillaries, including diaphragm pumps, centrifugal pumps, and pump couplings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are rotary vane pumps used for?
Rotary vane vacuum pumps are most commonly used in the automobile industry. They are used as hydraulic pumps for power steering, air conditioning, supercharging, and automatic transmission applications.
In addition to automobiles, rotary vane vacuum pumps can also be used for carbonation of soft drink dispensers and espresso machines in the hospitality industry.
How do side channel vacuum systems operate?
Side channel vacuum systems work using the principle of impulse. They take kinetic energy and transfer it to a medium for pumping, whereby it’s converted into pressure. The kinetic energy comes from an impeller, which is mounted on the motor’s shaft and rotates within a side channel.
Through this process, side channel vacuum systems operate both as vacuum systems and for blasting air. Normally, these vacuum pumps are kept quiet with silencers which are fitted to both the inlet as well as the discharge sides.
What is a vacuum chamber used for?
Vacuum chambers are where gases and air are removed with a vacuum pump. They are sturdy chambers and can be made from various materials to withstand regular use. Naturally, larger vacuum chambers have a higher capacity for creating a larger vacuum, whilst smaller chambers are more limited.
Is there gravity in a vacuum chamber?
Although in theory a vacuum should be completely free of matter, in practice vacuum chambers do contain gravity. For all intents and purposes, this is fine provided that the vacuum chamber contains a lower pressure than the surrounding area.
What is high vacuum pump?
As the name implies, a high vacuum pump is able to clear out a chamber or vacuum system into a high vacuum range (between 10-3 and 10-8 torr). Ulta-high vacuums exist when can create up to a 10-8 torr pressure range.
How do you maintain a vacuum pump?
Since there are many brands of vacuum pumps and various models adapted for different applications, always consult the instructions or an equipment technician or engineer to understand the correct frequency and manner of performing maintenance. Some vacuum pumps require less maintenance than others, while some require different tools and techniques.
Most vacuum pumps require regular oil changes. This is a simple task that can increase the lifespan of your equipment if performed routinely.
Firstly, remove any dirt, oil, and debris that may be left behind on the vacuum pump with a soft cloth. Large accumulations of dirt and debris may require the use of an industrial degreaser around the exterior before continuing.
Oil acts as a coolant, sealant, and lubricant for your vacuum pump. As such, it’s important that you regularly perform oil changes to encourage safe and efficient operation of the vacuum pump for years to come.
There are a few ways to tell when your oil needs to be changed. The easiest is often with a visual inspection. Compare clean, unused oil to a sample taken from the vacuum pump. If you’re noticing a significant difference between the two, such as cloudy or dark spots in the machine’s oil, it should be changed.
The second method may be more efficient if you own many vacuum pumps and need to perform routine maintenance on all of them. Purchase a micron gauge to quickly and efficiently inspect whether or not the oil needs to be changed in your vacuum pumps.
Don’t forget to wear personal protective equipment such as gloves whilst changing the pump’s oil.
