Cologne, October 2020 – Leybold expands its ECODRY plus product family of drymulti-stage Roots vacuum pumps for laboratory, research and development andanalytical applications. The current ECODRY 40 and 65 plus models are nowjoined by the new, smaller pump sizes ECODRY 25 and 35 plus. Leybold thuscompletes its range of quiet, low-maintenance and economical fore-vacuumpumps and fills the gap between SCROLLVAC 18 plus and ECODRY 40 plus.
Ergonomic advantages
A characteristic of ECODRY plus, which is particularly important in research facilities and inanalytical laboratories, is its low noise level. "Customers have already appreciated the existingmodels for this ergonomic advantage. The new ECODRY 25 and 35 plus also have aparticularly compact design," says product manager Alexander Kaiser, naming anotherimportant feature. Thanks to technical optimizations, the vacuum pumps are smaller and moreenergy-efficient than competitive products. "As a result, we achieve very high pumping speedswith relatively little footprint, which means that a chamber can be evacuated more quickly and alower ultimate pressure is achieved," summarizes Kaiser.
Pleasant background noise
Above all, the new ECODRY 25 and 35 plus are particularly quiet, with a noise level of 52dB(A). "A normal conversation is at a noise level of about 55 dB(A)," says Alexander Kaiser. Soit's easy to stay close to the pump and have a normal conversation with the pump noise justfading into the background," Kaiser explains.
Clean operation
A further advantage of the new ECODRY 25 and 35 plus: it emits neither oil vapor, nor particles.This is particularly important in research institutes and laboratories where a clean workingenvironment is essential. The oil-free multi-stage Roots pumps ECODRY 25 and 35 plus alsohave a maintenance interval of five years, during which time they run without any servicing. Nooil to check and change so users can devote themselves fully to their research and laboratorywork.
Pressure gauge optimizes energy consumption
While the ECODRY 40 and 65 plus are still available in the two voltage variants 200-240 Volt forEurope and Asia and 120 Volt for North America, there is only one variant required for each of because it allows the pumpperformance to be adapted again specifically to the respective requirement," explains ProductManager Kaiser. With the help of the gauge, the pump determines the pressure: If this is lowenough, the pump can reduce its speed and becomes even quieter and more energyefficient.
What's more, the ECODRY plus is emitting less heat, which means the airconditioning system has less work to do.
Various interfaces for the smart laboratory
This means that ECODRY plus does not simply run through, but achieves exactly the requiredperformance level. In addition, the ECODRY has connections for easy integration of the pumpinto external control systems and for reading all data from other systems. With its variousinterfaces such as USB and RS485 as well as the new intuitive LEYASSIST software, the newECODRY 25 and 35 plus is thus ideally equipped for all sustainable, future-proof industrial 4.0applications.
