Oil-free vacuum pump for chemical and pharmaceutical applications

  The oil-free EDP 80 - 400 vacuum pumps from Edwards have a vertical design, so the pump prevents the accumulation of particles and thus ensures long-lasting performance. Available in pumping speed classes 80, 160, 250 and 400 m³/h, these dry pumps minimise the risk of process and waste water contamination. www.edwardsvacuum.com Read the full article

New dry claw vacuum pump

  The nEDC300 from Edwards Vacuum is the latest iteration of mono claw vacuum pumps. Iit can be used in a wide range of applications, such as water and wastewater treatment, thermoforming, vacuum conveying, food processing or even in medical systems. "This claw pump features stainless steel rotors as well as a durable stator coating safeguarding its process wetted parts which ensures robustness in effective contaminant handling,” says Megha Ajmal, product manager. A separate, insulated pump element also makes the inside of the pump easily accessible to users for maintenance, repairs and cleaning. This means that the nEDC claw pump can be cleaned quickly and easily by the customer and then put back into operation. www.edwardsvacuum.com Read the full article

Leybold launches Vacuum Calculation and Simulation Tools

  Pump Finder and Leycalc as a calculation tool are web-based tools, users can select and build their vacuum solutions online. The Pump Finder is designed to navigate vacuum users step-by-step to find the ideal pump for their application. Throughout the selection tool, pumps can be refined by entering values for chamber size, target pressure and pipe dimensions. There are two calculation options for modelling different vacuum applications: process flow and vacuum chamber pump down. A process gas flow is a continuous gas flow where the constant pressure is conveyed. A vacuum chamber pump down is an application where the chamber is pumped/evacuated to a specific target pressure. The result is a selection of vacuum pumps that meet the customer's requirements.

Leycalc can be used for detailed engineering of vacuum systems using the same powerful algorithms as Leybold’s application experts. The tool allows customers to calculate their vacuum systems fully independently and for complex scenarios, the experts offer their full support. "Previously, we had to adjust parameters such as chamber size, process gases, cycle times, pipe length and pressure values during the initial contact with the customer. With the help of the simulation software, the user can independently calculate configurations and get an initial idea of the vacuum performance," explains Dr. Tom Kammermeier, Global Application Manager, Industrial Vacuum. "In the past, there were often lengthy dialogues about such details," says Kammermeier. “Now users can perform their calculations independently – with the result that the entire process leads to a more targeted and faster selection of the right solutions for the application. We expect Leycalc to improve the contact quality with our customers." https://calc.leybold.com/en/lp Read the full article
