Dry, energy-saving vacuum pump for hygienic applications
The new oil-free DSS scroll vacuum pump (photo) is a robust, low-wear pump that is particularly suitable for vacuum generation in the rough vacuum range. A key feature of the innovation is its simple and effective operating principle for gas handling. Inside the pump there are two intermeshing, spiral-shaped screws made of aluminum. One spiral screw is fixed, while the second one rotates to compress the gas inclusions. The ergonomic vacuum pump is also characterized by low energy consumption, lower lifecycle costs and user-friendly operation, says the company. Due to the dry running of the pump, no oil changes are necessary. There is also no need to replace the exhaust filters, so the overall maintenance requirements are relatively low. The new pump is particularly suitable for applications in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as in food packaging and processing. — Atlas Copco Vacuum Solutions, Cologne, Germany
