Edwards extends its range of dry scroll pumps with a compact lightweight pump with excellent dry pumping performance.

Edwards launch a compact and lightweight dry scroll pump. The new mXDS3 with a pumping speed 3m3h-1 builds on the established Edwards nXDS scroll pump experience and extends the current small dry pump range from 3 up to 120m3h-1.

The mXDS3 offers a dry alternative to traditional oil-sealed rotary vane pumps. With no oil to check, replace or dispose of these scroll pumps offer an environmentally friendly option; typically, with lower power requirements compared to similar capacity pumps.

mXDS3 also has a good ultimate vacuum performance of 0.1mbar making these pumps well suited for backing turbomolecular pumps. mXDS3 is offered as standard or as a configured version mXDS3s which includes an inlet valve built into the pump. This offers end users, OEMs and system builders further choice.

Edwards Product Manager, David Goodwin said “I am delighted to introduce this new small dry pump which is a great addition to our scroll pump portfolio. This gives us the opportunity to provide our customers more choice and fills a gap in the diverse range of products we offer”.
