The Edwards XDS Scroll Pumps are recognized as the industry standard for dry pumping, offering a clean, lubricant-free vacuum solution. They are designed to meet the needs of various applications that require efficient and reliable performance.
Key Features:
-
Lubricant-Free and Hermetically Sealed: The XDS pumps operate without lubricants within the vacuum envelope, ensuring a clean and dry vacuum that prevents cross-contamination.
-
Isolated Bearings: The bearing isolation prevents any atmosphere-to-vacuum shaft seal contact, ensuring that the bearings stay cooler and last longer, and preventing any process attack.
-
No Oil Changes: There’s no oil to change, eliminating oil disposal costs and ensuring consistent, maintenance-free operation.
-
Simple Maintenance: The single-sided scroll design enables quick and easy maintenance, leading to low ownership costs and maximum uptime.
-
Inverter Drive: The integrated inverter drive allows for optimized performance, ensuring consistent pumping speeds worldwide.
High-Speed Performance:
- The XDS46i offers a peak speed of 40 m³/h, making it suitable for applications such as LCMS and ICPMS, where high pumping speeds are required at inlet pressures between 1 mbar and 10 mbar.
Chemical Handling (C Variant):
- The C variant is specifically designed for vapor handling processes and can be used in corrosive applications. It features Chemraz internal valve pads and a stainless steel exhaust port for enhanced resistance to aggressive substances.
