UV Series Pneumofore Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps

UV series

• Air cooling achieved by an aluminum radiator and
• a controlled fan.
• No water cooling avoiding problems due to silt, vapor pressure and unstable ambient temperature.
• Closed-circuit lubrication ensures negligible oil consumption.
• 99.95% maximum effective vacuum (0.5 mbar (a)) with constant operating curves up to 95%, the best result achieved by a single-stage vacuum pump.
• The pallets, made of special aluminum alloy, ensure effective sealing according to Pneumofore's customary quality criteria, and guarantee stable performance even after several years, without loss of performance and with low maintenance costs.
• Reduced power consumption compared to a liquid ring vacuum pump with equivalent characteristics.
• "Plug and Play" pumps, ready to install, with easy and instant integration into the vacuum circuit.

Components

• Polyester cartridge air intake filter (3 μm).
• Oil filter cartridge for the lubrication system.
• Oil separator and recovery system for purifying oil from the exhaust air. No oil fumes.
• Integrated check valve to prevent air/oil siphoning.
• Direct coupling between pump and motor.
• Reduced maintenance points — Noise level [75 dB (A)] enclosure requiring no sealing.
• Fully automatic operation: oil temperature control, auxiliary control contacts, vacuum safety valve, alarm systems, and motorized suction safety valve.
• Control panel with vacuum gauge, oil cartridge clogging indicator, timestamp, active circuit control lights, emergency stop, and starter key.
• Very low maintenance costs thanks to its simplified design and very few moving parts subject to wear.
• Vertical installation (for UV4, UV8, and UV16) to reduce clutter.

Specific and atypical characteristics

• Minimum power consumption during operation
• Maintenance limited to one annual intervention (every 4,000 to 5,000 hours of operation), depending on operating conditions. This intervention includes draining the oil, replacing the air filter, and the oil filter (Each intervention takes about 2 hours).
• Easy access to all pump components. Doors open via turn inserts.
• Motor overload protection.
• Constant pumping speed up to 50 mbar (a) residual pressure regardless of ambient temperatures (which should not be higher than 50°C).
• Vanes with an unlimited lifespan ensure optimal efficiency thanks to their effective sealing.
• Centralized electronic control.

Easy maintenance, lowest possible operating costs

The main objective of the UV Series pumps is to guarantee the user the lowest possible operating cost. The UV Series Vacuum Pumps have been designed to:

• Reduce the frequency of maintenance interventions,
• Reduce the duration of each intervention (labor time),
• Reduce the number of consumables that require periodic replacement,
• Improve the reliability and efficiency of the vacuum production system,
• Increase the lifespan of the main components and other parts,
• Use standard components available on the market,
• Provide the end customer with a “turnkey” system, ready to operate.
