What is a Hook and Claw Dry Vacuum Pump and How Does it Work?
For those who are not familiar with vacuum pumps, this machine is used to remove gases or air from a sealed container or system to create a vacuum. This can be done using different types of pumps such as the liquid ring vacuum pump, rotary vane vacuum pump, and the roots vacuum pump. But in this article, we’ll be discussing the hook-and-claw dry vacuum pump.
The hook and claw dry vacuum pump is a positive displacement pump that operates without oil or water. It is designed to create a vacuum in a sealed container or system by using two rotors that rotate in opposite directions to trap and compress air molecules.
But how does this pump really work? Let’s dive into the anatomy of a hook-and-claw dry vacuum pump.

Alternatively though (as a fellow 20 year old furnishing his own first apartment), if it’s soft and damp but you know it’s only rain or dew because it’s only been out there a day and does not smell like mildew yet: salt. I kid you not.
Did you know you can dry age furniture? I sure as fuck did not. But when my roommate’s pets had an outbreak of fleas (not caught from anything we brought in, those fuckers we’re home grown and came with em when we moved in) we had to wash EVERYTHING. Including the floor rugs. Which were laughably to big for our poor little dryer. But you know, that’s fine, we can just stick em out to dry in the sun… Nope. This is Florida, it rains every didly darn day.
So I brought the rugs in, and oh the horrors, after a couple days they began to smell. Because, well, duh. You’ve got a sopping wet carpet heaped in a massive mildewing pile in your bedroom. But I was already going out of my mind with like, five other crises? Because this is college, and that’s just how things go.
So in as last ditch Hail Mary, I tossed salt all over the thing. Because salt has magical powers or something? I don’t know, people used to put it on wounds to keep them from getting infected, or to preserve their meat, and I’d read somewhere it had flea fighting capabilities. And then, because again, Florida, I remembered how a lot of outdoor restaurants mix some rice into their salt shakers to absorb some of the excess humidity, and that’s what you’re supposed to put your phone in when you may or may not have drenched it while exploring the storm drain system under your bosses house (that’s a whole other story), I sprinkled some rice on there for good measure.
And low and behold, like Jesus rising from the toumb: by the third day, it stanketh not! Not only did the salt and rice suck up a gallon of water from this poor rug, their combined magical powers were enough to kill off the mildew as well. (Disclaimer: do NOT attempt to vacune the carpet before it’s completely dry. The salt water WILL corrode every single circuit in your vacume cleaner)
So when my roommate and I saw the loveliest chair to ever be appulstered sitting by the dumpster, merely christened with the freshest of dew, I was like “we have totally got this.” And we did! Dumped a whole bunch of salt on the cushions to banish any and all ill spirits and scrubbed the white wood with vinegar till it shown like a pearl. Magnificent. Immaculate. Better than new. (Well, accept for the claw marks, but that happened after we brought it in. The cats were very emphatic about expressing their appreciation for such a wonderful piece of craftsmanship) Anyways, no mold! No bugs! No miasma lingering from a sordid past of unspeakable woe. She smells great!
forget baby fever, the perceived need to grab any piece of free furniture you see in your 20s is unreal
