BOC Edwards has added to its highly successful XDS range of dry vacuum scroll pumps with the launch of its largest pump yet.

BOC Edwards has added to its highly successful XDS range of dry vacuum scroll pumps with the launch of its largest pump yet.

Ideal for mass spectrometer and high energy physics applications, XDS 35i offers robust, clean, dry, very low maintenance pumping up to 35m3/h.

The pump's patented "dry" pumping system has no bearings or lubrication products in the vacuum environment, eliminating the risk of contamination and removing the usual vacuum pump oil change requirement.

Also the unique scroll design has created a compact footprint with maximum pumping speed; a 20% increase over previous BOC Edwards models.

Inverter driven from a single-phase supply, with a very quiet "pancake" motor, XDS 35i is a good choice for large instrument applications, giving constant pumping performance anywhere in the world.

One simple switch changes voltage selection from high to low, 100 to 120V 50/60Hz and 200 to 230V 50/60Hz, giving easy access to a worldwide dry pumping solution.

Designed for optimum performance, the XDS 35i offers an ultimate vacuum of less than 0.01mbar.

An 80-litre chamber can be pumped from atmosphere down to this pressure in just 2min.

Controllable gas ballast is standard and makes the XDS 35i suitable for pumping vapours, even small quantities of condensed liquid are easily handled without problems.

The XDS 35i is truly user serviceable; with no oil to change or dispose of, typically annual maintenance can be completed in about 20min without special tools.

XDS 35i is compatible with the BOC Edwards combined Turbo and Instrument Controller (TIC).

TIC provides control and management of a complete vacuum system from a single compact unit and incorporates a range of advanced management features with easy-to-use Windows software for remote control via a PC.
