vacuum pump
Creates low pressure
A vacuum pump is a device that removes gas molecules from a sealed space, creating a partial or complete vacuum.
Industrial applications range from food packaging to semiconductor manufacturing.
Laboratory vacuum pumps enable experiments requiring low-pressure environments.
The vacuum pump evacuated the chamber in seconds.
