nXDS Dry Scroll Vacuum Pumps Previewed

Edwards, a global leader of vacuum and abatement technology gave a preview of its new nXDS range of dry scroll vacuum pumps and also displayed the T-station 75 turbo pumping cart and nEXT turbomolecular pumps. The nXDS is an oil-free vacuum pump that has no lubricants in the vacuum space. With improved tip seal and bearing life users will benefit from its low maintenance requirements. The nXDS is fully serviceable in the field, resulting in low downtime and an overall low cost of ownership. With intelligent drive electronics the nXDS has reduced power consumption and delivers exceptional low acoustic noise levels, making it an ideal ‘fit and forget’ pump for the laboratory. Edwards’ nEXT turbomolecular pumps providing high vacuum performance in a compact size are modular design for rapid customisation.

The compact entry level T-station 75 turbopumping cart, the smallest in Edwards’ range of pumping stations can pump a chamber at high speed due to higher capacity backing pumps. It provides reliable high performance and is an excellent ‘plug and play’ solution. “The new generation of dry scroll pumps is a major step forward for vacuum pumping in scientific markets,” said David Steele, Market Sector Manager, Edwards. “There are four pumps in the range, which have excellent pumping speeds with class leading ultimate vacuum levels. They provide high performance with increased reliability and less maintenance than alternative pumps, which results in less downtime and low cost of ownership.”
