BOC puts an end to intensive care
BOC Edwards' new HV series of high capacity mechanical booster vacuum pumps for chemical applications combines long term reliability with minimal maintenance.
Mechanical booster pumps are used to evacuate large gas volumes in medium vacuum chemical applications such as distillation, deodorisation and solvent recovery. The oil-free design of the HV series makes it ideal for dusty or dirty environments, where oil-sealed pumps require intensive maintenance.
Three models are available with capacities up to 30,000m³/h and all can be fitted with a standard inverter to control pump speed, allowing them to be started from atmospheric pressure at the same time as the backing pump.
Pumps can be supplied with vertical or horizontal flow to suit the installation. Built-in water cooling of the pump seals and bearings minimises the potential for damage caused by heat generation in arduous applications.
