Vacuum technology finds applications in various industries and scientific fields due to its ability to create controlled environments with low or no pressure. Here are some common applications of vacuum:
-
Vacuums can also be used in:
- Aluminizing of mirrors
- Production of optical films
- Production of electronic components e.g. capacitors , resistors and integrated circuits (ICs)
- Production of thin films
- In food industry to preserve foodstuff
- In pharmaceutical industries during manufacture and packaging of drugs
- Mounting of specimens in electron microscopy
- Production of tungsten filaments lamps, discharge lamps e.g. fluorescent tubes etc.
- Manufacture of X-ray tubes, radio receiver valves voltage stabilizes and cathode ray tubes etc.
- In vacuum metallurgy i.e. production of alloys and pure metals of varying strength and properties
- In cleaning
- In suctions, filtration, distillation, crystallization and evaporation
It is therefore clear that vacuum systems play a crucial role in various fields, enabling precise control of pressure, removing unwanted gases, and creating specialized environments for specific processes and research.
