Pfeiffer Vacuum has launched new compact Roots pumps from the HiLobe collection with excessive pumping speeds, that are designed for functions that call for big chambers to be evacuated rapidly.
Pfeiffer Vacuum is increasing the HiLobe collection via clever, high efficiency Roots pumps with high pumping speeds.
Potential uses of the new Pfeiffer Vacuum pumps in industrial vacuum functions include electron beam welding, vacuum furnaces, freeze drying and, notably, fast evacuations (lock chambers or leak detection systems). pressure gauge are also suitable for use in coating functions and with their individual speed control, they can be tailored to customer-specific requirements.
Their powerful drive idea shortens pump-down occasions by round 20% compared to conventional Roots pumps. Rapid evacuation additionally saves prices and increases the effectivity of manufacturing techniques. The use of energy-efficient drives and the optimised rotor geometries reduces vitality costs by greater than 50%, additionally reinforced by the sealing concept.
The pumps are hermetically sealed from the environment and have a most integral leak rate of 1 · 10-6 Pa m³/s. Dynamic seals are eradicated, so upkeep is simply needed each four years.
The clever interface expertise of the HiLobe ensures optimum process adjustment and condition monitoring. Condition monitoring supplies fixed information on the state of the vacuum system and will increase system availability as maintenance and repair work may be planned accordingly.
Andreas Würz, Product Manager at Pfeiffer Vacuum, explains, “These new Roots pumps handle a wide range of nominal pumping speeds as a lot as thirteen,600 m³/h. We are significantly proud of their very compact size and considerably decrease energy consumption in comparison with typical Roots pumps.”
