Oil-free Scroll Pumps: HiScroll Series

Pfeiffer's HiScroll series represents the pinnacle of oil-free technology. These pumps are designed for efficiency, low maintenance, and user comfort. The new Intelligent Interface Access Link enhances operational safety and ease of use. The HiScroll pumps are extremely quiet, compact, and energy-efficient, making them ideal for applications in industry, research and laboratories. Their oil-free design ensures a clean and reliable vacuum environment, reducing contamination risks and operational downtime. The low vibration levels further contribute to a stable and safe working environment.

Additional features include:

  • Fully automatic gas ballast valve
  • Vacuum safety valve
  • Fully automatic pressure control with an integrated sensor
  • Nominal pumping speed of 6 - 20m³/h
  • Explosion-proof ATEX design available

Oil Rotary Vane Pumps: Pascal and Duo Vane Series

For those requiring robust and versatile vacuum solutions, Pfeiffer's Pascal and Duo Vane series are excellent choices. These rotary vane pumps are among the most widely used for generating rough and fine vacuums. They offer a broad pumping speed range, from 1.25 to 1 600m³/h (up to 1 920m³/h at 60Hz), catering to a wide variety of applications. Whether for laboratory use or industrial processes, these pumps provide reliability and high performance. The Pascal series is known for its durability, while the Duo Vane series offers various versions to suit specific needs. The Duo Vane will replace the Pascal range completely at the end of 2024.

Additional features include:

  • New Duo Vane 5 to 22m³/h. The successors of current Pfeiffer Vacuum models.
  • >35% less power consumption. Designed with a focus on simplicity yet precisely manufactured.
  • Robust inlet valve for the highest uptime at your job.
  • Easy to use with 10 to 35% less weight. All interfaces on one side. Adjustable flanges. Small footprint.
  • 15% faster pump downtime from atmospheric pressure until target pressure.
