Atlas Copco has applied its expertise
in air compressors to vacuum pump
technology with the launch
of a new GV oilsealed
rotary screw
vacuum pump system,
suitable for ‘rough
vacuum’ between 0.5
and 500mbar.

Due to its modulating valve, fitted
at the pump inlet, the capacity of the
pump can be matched to actual
demand. Atlas Copco says this
minimises the system’s vacuum level
fluctuations and operates the pump
at the lowest energy point. The pump
has to stop and start less frequently,
leading to less wear and maintenance.

The GV pumps deliver capacities
between 20 and 5000m3/h, making
them suitable for many
applications.

Quiet operation
means the
pumps can be
installed close to
the point of use.

They can also be installed as a
remote installation as part of a
centralised vacuum system.
