Edwards XDS5 Scroll Vacuum Pump, 3-phase 200/380/415/460 V - A72401905

XDS5 3-phase 200/380/415/460 V set to high volts

Overview: The XDS pumps are an innovative design which use a bearing shield to isolate the vacuum environment from all forms of lubricant, not only making it totally dry, but hermetically sealed. The shield also protects the bearing from any process vapours. Gas ballast allows vapour to be handled and opens up the range of applications to many that were previously unsuited to scroll pumps. The XDS5 pump is designed for pumping condensable vapours and uses materials selected for a wide range of laboratory wet chemistry applications.

Technology: Scroll pumps use intermeshing fixed and orbital scrolls to form non-contacting, crescent shaped gas pockets that are continuously compressed by the orbiting action. This means that, unlike oil-sealed rotary pumps, there is no sealant or lubricant required in the swept volume of the pump.

Features and Benefits

Lubricant-free within the vacuum envelope and hermetically sealed means totally clean and dry vacuum to prevent cross contamination
No atmosphere to vacuum shaft seals means bearings are completely isolated, which prevents process attack and means the bearings run cooler and last longer
No oil changes required eliminating costs of contaminated oil disposal
Simple single sided scroll design means routine maintenance is done in minutes for low cost of ownership and maximum up-time
Gas ballast feature to enable pumping of vapours
