Description
Beach Russ 615-325 Vacuum Pump RP1 Dry System M583 230/460V 3-Phase 60Hz
The Beach Russ 615-325 is a large industrial vacuum pump configured as an RP1 Dry System — meaning it uses no water in the pumping process and relies on oil lubrication and a belt-driven reciprocating pump to pull vacuum. Built by Beach-Russ Co. of Brooklyn, New York, this is a robust, heavy-duty unit designed for demanding industrial vacuum applications. It is driven by a Reliance Electric Sabre three-phase motor and mounts on a common skid base with a large cylindrical oil separator/reservoir tank, an S-curve exhaust discharge pipe, and a flanged suction inlet. The pump casting is marked M583 with casting number B099-19 and serial number 7791.

Applications
Beach-Russ vacuum pumps are reciprocating, oil-lubricated industrial vacuum pumps used in process industries where sustained, high-volume vacuum is needed. The RP1 Dry System configuration is suited for applications where water contamination of the vacuum stream must be avoided — common in chemical processing, food and beverage production, plastics and rubber processing, woodworking and veneer pressing, and general industrial vacuum systems. Beach-Russ Co. was a well-established American pump manufacturer based in New York, and their reciprocating vacuum pumps were a workhorse of mid-twentieth-century American industry, found in paper mills, refineries, and manufacturing plants. Units of this size class — with a large-bore flanged suction inlet and a dedicated oil separator tank — are designed for continuous-duty industrial service pulling substantial vacuum volumes. The three-phase motor requirement and the skid-mounted configuration are typical of permanently installed plant vacuum systems. This type of equipment remains in use today in industrial facilities that maintain legacy vacuum systems or require the robust, field-repairable design of a belt-driven reciprocating pump.
This Beach Russ 615-325 RP1 Dry System vacuum pump was pulled from a working industrial environment where it was previously in use. The unit has been visually inspected and photographed in its current state. Overall the pump appears complete and intact — the oil separator tank, pump body, drive motor, belt guard, flanged inlet, piping, and solenoid valves are all present as shown. The gray paint shows the kind of wear and fading you'd expect on heavy industrial equipment that has seen real service, and some surface rust is visible on pipe fittings and the exhaust pipe. The Reliance Electric Sabre drive motor nameplate is legible and in good shape. The unit sits on a wooden pallet and will require freight shipping. It has not been powered or tested at our facility. Please review all photos carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
