Two new roughing pumps for analytical applications

Leybold has launched two new versions of its oil-sealed rotary vane pumps for analytical applications. The new developments are characterised by their high pumping speed, low noise level and maintenance intervals of up to 24,000 hours in LC or GC MS applications (Liquid or Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry).

Equipped with an integrated frequency converter, the SOGEVAC BI2 has flexible speed control. This allows the rotary vane pumps to be easily adapted to the respective process requirements. Leybold synthetic oils allow maintenance free operation up to 3 years / 24,000 hours in LC or GC MS.

"With the help of power consumption monitoring, users also have a real-time overview of the power consumption and pump temperature at all times," says the responsible Product Manager Laurent Furrer, explaining the user-friendly features. Thanks to the lower generator speeds, quiet operation can be guaranteed across the entire pressure range of the SOGEVAC BI2. "The bottom line is that the new backing pumps consume up to 38 percent less electricity on average. CO2 emissions are also noticeably reduced," adds Furrer.

Compact design thanks to integrated permanent magnet motor

The SOGEVAC BI2 offers more installation space thanks to its compact design. "In terms of design, we have also achieved this by integrating the permanent magnet motor and redesigning the oil casing. The pump volume and weight are almost divided by 2," reports Furrer.

The packaging made of recyclable, biodegradable material has shock indicators for optimum pump protection. A hinged unloading ramp enables easy and safe unpacking. Thanks to the mobile design and the handles on the oil casing cover, the new SOGEVAC BI2 can be transported and installed easily and safely.
