How do the Sykes Pumps Work?
A vacuum pump creates a vacuum in the pump. As the pump is primed, liquid lifts a float which in turn vents the vacuum to atmosphere. When the pumps loses its prime, the float drops and the process starts over. The air handling capabilities of this system demonstrates why the Sykes Univac system is renowned world-wide for the ability to perform nearly any pump job.
