New cost-effective DRYSTAR 80 dry pumping system optimises manufacturing processes
CRAWLEY, UK (15 February 2010) - Edwards, the leading global manufacturer of vacuum technology, has launched a new standard pre-configured dry pumping system, which offers ease of installation and commissioning. The affordable DRYSTAR 80 dry pumping package is a clean, robust and cost-effective alternative to traditional oil-sealed vacuum pumps, and enables customers to optimise their processes and make significant operational cost savings.
DRYSTAR 80 consists of an industry proven Roots and inverted multistage claw mechanism which means it is more effective in the lower pressure regions, and this non-contact mechanism leads to reduced wear and a longer lasting performance.
The dry vacuum pumping system has excellent dust and vapour handling capabilities. DRYSTAR 80 provides a repeatable pump down performance with continuous pumping from atmosphere and has high effective pumping speeds of 80 m3hr--1. For applications where higher pumping speeds of up to 500 m3hr--1 and lower vacuum levels are required it can be combined with an Edwards EH500A hydrokinetic drive mechanical booster.
Unlike traditional oil-sealed vacuum technology, such as rotary vane pumps, the DRYSTAR 80 does not use oil in the pumping mechanism. As such, it has low maintenance levels and users can make cost savings through reduced service and downtime. There is no costly disposal of contaminated waste oil and no oil exhaust emission into the atmosphere. The DRYSTAR 80 system is pre-configured with a shaft seal purge module which provides a protective gas barrier between the swept volume of the pump and the gearbox. It also features a cleanable and drainable exhaust silencer.
“The cost of dry pumping has historically been perceived as high compared to wet pumping technologies,” says Dave Sobiegray, product manager, Industrial Vacuum Systems, Edwards. “I’m pleased that we can now offer a standard affordable pumping solution with the DRYSTAR 80 package so more customers can benefit from the many advantages of dry pumps.”
DRYSTAR 80 is suitable for use in many critical and demanding applications, including roll coating, glass coating, optical coating, freeze drying, food processing, corrosive processes, oxidant pumping, cylinder filling, plasma processing (cleaning, surface activation, sterilisation and deposition), automotive industry (brakefluid degassing and brakeline filling) and R&D.
