IN FOCUS

Nowadays, a modern vacuum technology must convince users in their everyday operations with features such as sustainability, performance and ergonomics. Atlas Copco has developed its new DVS vacuum pump series with a focus on this requirement profile.

Many vacuum applications operate only within a specific pressure range. In order to operate such vacuum systems efficiently, the total pressure must be measured reliably. Therefore offers Pfeiffer Vacuum a large product portfolio of measurement gauges available both for a digital and analog output signal.

In March 2023, the pump and valve manufacturer KSB SE & Co KGaA launched a new high-efficiency circulation pump.

In an addition to its Aquaboost range of cold water booster sets, Stuart Turner has launched the Aquaboost Aquabreak AB5 Cat 5 booster set.

CIRCOR announces its Zenith C9000 Series precision metering gear pump, ideal for use in hydrogen fuel cell MEA gasketing sealants and adhesive applications. Zenith C9000 metering pumps deliver accurate and repeatable flow of metering additives, sealants, or chemicals in a compact and efficient design.

ITT Inc.’s PRO Services introduced the PumpSmart PS30, a next-generation load monitor that uses a pump’s motor as a sensor to protect industrial equipment from common machine failures. Using advanced logic, the user-friendly PS30 shuts down a pump by stopping its motor at the first signs of equipment malfunction, avoiding costly damages and operational disruptions while protecting workers.

Delta has announced the launch of its new Open-Loop Variable Torque Standard Drive VP3000 for fan, pump and compressor applications. The VP3000 is specially designed to enhance fluid machine operation efficiency and reduce inverter harmonic distortion for a wide range of fluid applications.

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies’ peroxidic-crosslinked fluoroelastomer material 75 FKM 239961 now also has received pharma-specific approval according to USP Chapter 87. The result of the in vitro conformity test confirms that the material has no toxic effects on cell cultures. With this advancement, bisphenol crosslinked FKM materials can be replaced in the food industry.

COVAL offers manufacturers a range of vacuum grippers suitable for handling of parts of various sizes, weights, and materials. This gripper range has been extended with the latest CMS HD series multistage vacuum pumps, developed by COVAL.

In research and industry, it is getting more and more important for users of vacuum systems to be able to control individual pumps and to use their operating data. Vacuum specialist Leybold has developed a controller precisely for this purpose.
