Controlling vacuum and protecting systems is typically done through valves

In demanding applications in which an interruption-free vacuum is required for multiple chambers, central vacuum stations (CVS) from Leybold ensure continuous availability.

Many systems require a constant vacuum level to achieve extremely low temperatures. In major research establishments such as CERN in Geneva, leaks in the pipeline system would result in immensely expensive downtime.

Modern vacuum solutions for extruder degassing. Leybold PET extruder degassing delivers a wide range of product and process benefits and is now used in a wide range of sectors. The main factor behind this is the fact that the material is recyclable, but there are also economic and material criteria.

Vacuum systems for efficient steel degassing Productivity increases in furnace manufacture and metallurgy, which are essentially based on innovations in vacuum technology. The development progress in pump and control technology can significantly increase the economy and safety of processes.

For the use of the two to three-stage dry compressing "DS" and "RUTA" pump systems, we combine the DRYVAC backing pumps with RUVAC WA(U), WS(U), WH(U) and RA. A single flow layout can achieve pumping speeds of 250 to 16,000 m³/h. Higher pumping speeds can be achieved by arranging pumps in parallel. The achievable working pressures are defined by the number of pump stages or parallel pump systems.

Like world-class sprinters, vacuum pumps often need to deliver powerful bursts of energy on demand. For applications like load lock for inline coaters, those peaks are traditionally covered by connecting several, less powerful pumps and running them at a constant speed – even during idle times. But what if load locks for inline coaters in the architectural glass, solar, display and other markets, could be made more efficient thanks to fewer, more powerful pumps that “knew” when to run hard and when to save energy? That, in a nutshell, is what motivated Leybold to create the world’s first intelligent vacuum pump: the DRYVAC PowerBoost system.
