New dry vacuum pump for industrial processes
BOC
Edwards has extended its range of high speed, high capacity
dry vacuum pumps with the launch of the IDX1000. Based on
their third generation double-ended screw technology, the
pump has been designed to provide reliable operation and low
cost of ownership, in harsh industrial applications such as
metallurgy and roll coating.
Designed as a ‘dry’ system, the IDX1000 has no
lubricants under vacuum. This means there is no possibility
of process contamination which can occur both within the oil
- which affects the performance of the pump - or in some extreme
cases, the final product. IDX1000 reduces environmental impact,
as regular replacement of contaminated oil is not required
- eliminating the need to dispose of oil in line with, often
costly, environmental guidelines.
Traditionally demanding processes, such as steel degassing,
involve large chambers that require a fast pump down speed
to reach the target pressure quickly. The IDX1000’s,
950m3/hr. capacity combined with its dust handling capabilities
are ideal for these harsh industrial applications. On particularly
dusty applications a range of filter options are available
to compliment main system separation.
Traditional screw designs suffer from problems created by
axial forces on the bearing, particularly when handling liquid
slugs or viscous oils and tars. The IDX1000 bearing and gearbox
lubrication system uses cooled, filtered oil and the double-ended
design, that forms part of BOC Edwards’ third generation
screw technology, eliminates the axial forces. The result
is extended bearing life and, in case of process upset, excellent
liquid handling capability. There is no need for special coatings
– which can wear out - and variable pitch geometry provides
staged compression along the length of the screw, resulting
in lower running temperatures and power consumption.
The new IDX1000 complements BOC Edwards’ extensive range
of vacuum pumps and follows the launch of the CDX1000 for
chemical applications earlier this year.
