Edwards Adds nXDS Dry Scroll Pumps to Their Range of Turbopumping Stations

Better performance and reduced maintenance with nXDS dry scroll pumps

CRAWLEY, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Edwards Group Limited (NAS: EVAC) , a leading manufacturer of sophisticated vacuum products and abatement systems and a global provider of related value-added services, has updated their range of turbopumping stations to include the newly launched nXDS dry scroll pumps. The turbo stations already incorporated the award winning nEXT turbomolecular pumps, but can now also be configured to include the class leading nXDS dry pumps.

Edwards' turbopumping stations feature a choice of nEXT turbopumps with speeds from 42 l/s to 400 l/s, enabling the most appropriate pump for the application to be selected. There is also a comprehensive range of backing pumps to meet specific needs, from low priced oil-sealed rotary vane pumping options to totally dry systems, now including the nXDS dry scroll pumps.

Russell Coleman, Market Sector Manager for R&D, Edwards, commented, "We have launched an update to our range of turbo stations to now include our new nXDS dry scroll pumps. This not only leads to better performance in terms of ultimate pressure and longer life between servicing, but also extends the range of turbo stations to include dry backing pumps with capacities from 1 m³/hr up to 20 m³/hr, as all four models of nXDS are available. They offer up to 1 decade better ultimate pressure performance compared with the previous XDS model, which in turn leads to a better ultimate at the turbopump inlet."

The nXDS dry scroll pump offers a unique, oil-free, robust vacuum solution. Its advanced scroll-form and quiet operation, <52 dB(A), deliver best-in-class performance. The unique tip-seal design doubles the tip-seal life compared with Edwards' previous XDS scroll pumps and it is easily field serviceable with a minimum of special tooling, giving class-leading maintenance intervals, less down time and a lower cost of ownership.
