Italian pharmaceutical company Phamacia has installed six BOC Edwards dry vacuum pumps equipped with flame arrestors, explosion-proof instruments and local control cabinets
Diaphragm life is typically greater than 10kh, thanks to its unique design.
Neatly packaged in an attractive housing with a footprint of just 312 x 144mm, the 230V AC XDD1 is ideal for bench-top applications.
An integral silencer is fitted to the exhaust ensuring minimum disruption from noise.
Suitable for use in applications requiring low pressure, the XDD1 pumps down to less than 2mbar with a pumping speed of 1.2m3/h.
It has a universal voltage motor covering 100-120 and 200-230V allowing users or OEMs to select the required voltage just by turning a switch.
Also available is a 24V variant for OEM system integration with variable speed and remote control.
This is compatible with BOC Edwards' turbo and instrument controller (T and IC) which manages and controls the complete vacuum system.
The T and IC can be used to control up to three active gauges, one turbo pump and a backing pump, and will automatically recognise the BOC Edwards equipment that is connected to it.
Enabling OEMs and end users to tailor their vacuum system for maximum efficiency.
