Leybold's Mechanical Booster pumps are designed to achieve lower pressures and higher pumping speeds in vacuum technology. This category includes models such as RUVAC WA(U), WH(U) and WS(U).
These pumps work in combination with fore vacuum pumps to enhance the overall performance of vacuum systems, achieving pressures as low as 10^-5 mbar. Mechanical Booster pumps operate without internal compression, meaning they cannot directly compress to atmospheric pressure and must always work with a suitable fore vacuum pump.
Typical combinations improve the achievable end pressure of a vacuum system by a factor of 10. The pumps feature integrated frequency converters that adjust motor speed to the load, ensuring efficient and safe operation across all pressure ranges.
At high pressures, the pump rotates more slowly and accelerates towards lower pressures until maximum speed is reached.
Recent innovations include advanced cooling systems and hermetically sealed motors, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance costs.
Leybold's Mechanical Booster pumps are preferred for their reliability, advanced technology, and suitability for Industry 4.0 applications, making them an excellent choice for various industrial needs.
