Used ALCATEL / ADIXEN / PFEIFFER ATH 20/40 #117103 for sale

ADIXEN ATH 20/40 pump is a high-performance vacuum pump designed for industrial and laboratory vacuum applications. This medium-sized, single-stage oil sealed rotary vane pump operates on pressurized, liquid cooled oil to maintain performance in high temperatures and provide long-term reliability. The ATH 20/40 is powered by a single-speed electric motor that drives the central shaft at a speed of up to 1750 rpm via a coupling. This rotation then drives the rotary vane which is supported by a bearing and transmits the resulting force to the blades of the vanes. The vanes create a suction that pulls in atmospheric air into the rotor chamber and then into the pump chamber. When the atmospheric air reaches the pump chamber, the amount of vacuum is controlled by an adjustable valve. Due to the low temperature of the vacuum created and the high pressure, there is no need to use an additional cooling system. The pump's construction is designed to minimize wear while still providing high levels of power. The casing is of an all-steel construction with a corrosion-resistant finish, while the pump's rotors and vanes are made of reinforced thermoplastic to provide excellent performance and durability. The pump's oil sealing system also helps to significantly reduce the wear and tear on the vanes, resulting in less maintenance over the life of the pump. The ATH 20/40 has a delivery capacity of up to 20 cubic meters per hour and can reach a pressure vacuum of 13500 mbar. Additionally, it has an ultimate pressure of 3x10-4 mbar and offers low noise levels making it ideal for laboratory and industrial applications. For ease of maintenance, the pump also includes a self-activating, adjustable needle valve that can be used to proportionally throttle the pump speed according to certain requirements. The ATH 20/40 is also equipped with a safety valve that can be opened to release the pressure in the system in case of a sudden catastrophe. The ATH 20/40 is CE approved and is rated to operate under the temperature range of 0°C to +40°C. To ensure that the pump is always running smoothly, regular maintenance and regular oil checks and changes should be performed. Additionally, the pump can be re-used in the future with parts that are easily interchangeable for easy and cost-effective maintenance.
