This compact, dry vacuum pump eliminates contamination
Atlas Copco
The DHS 065-200 VSD+ dry screw vacuum pump (photo) is built for rapid cycling and continuous operation. It requires no water or oil cooling, eliminating a source of contamination. Certified as oil-free in the Class Zero category of ISO Standard 8573-1, the pump is free of oil emissions, including aerosol oil content in its outlet air stream. Its reduced number of parts within the pump, combined with the variable-pitch screw design, help increase efficiency and reduce maintenance, according to the manufacturer. The vibration-free pump is housed in a noise-reducing canopy, and is equipped and controlled with the MK5 Elektonikon and the company’s Smartlink system, which integrates the pump to plant-management systems to provide status updates on running and stopped hours, warnings, faults and shutdown indications. — Atlas Copco, Industrial Vacuum Div., Cologne, Germany
