With a focus on sustainability, performance and ergonomics, Atlas Copco has developed its new DVS vacuum pump series. The DVS models are oil-free, dry rotary vane pumps that guarantee emission-free, quiet operation and do not contaminate processes. They can be used in packaging and pneumatic conveying processes, medical systems and analytical equipment, and pick-and-place solutions in automation. The new DVS models are quiet, low-wear as well as energy-saving, while taking up little floor space.
Atlas Copco uses robust materials to build the new series. For example, a rotor with graphite blades rotates inside the DVS pumps. Centrifugal forces press the vanes against the inside of the housing wall, hermetically sealing the chamber for a safe, uninterrupted operating vacuum. "Thanks to the high-quality graphite alloy, the vacuum can be generated with minimal friction losses," explains Atlas Copco product manager, Carol Pignatelli.
