Used EDWARDS RV3 #9400170 for sale

EDWARDS RV3 pump is a rotary vane pump that is used for vacuum applications such as those found in laboratory and industrial processes. This pump can generate pressures of up to 1 torr and has a pumping speed of 45 liters per second. It has a simple robust construction and is powered by a standard 240V AC line or a 12V DC power supply. The pump is made up of three main components, a rotor, vanes and a casing. The rotor is made up of two elliptically up-curved discs attached to either end of the rotor shaft by bearings. The vanes are made of a strong heat resistant synthetic material and are independently mounted on the slot of the rotor. The casing is designed to prevent the ingress of atmosphere and is cooled by an internal fan. In operation, the rotor spins with the vanes attached which creates an area of low pressure between the vanes. The vanes then move inwards creating a partial vacuum, resulting in air and other gases being drawn into the pump from the atmosphere. The air is then discharged from the outlet port of the pump. The Edward EDWARDS RV-3 pump is capable of withstanding wide fluctuations in supply voltage and operates with a low noise level and minimal vibration. The pump also includes internal overpressure protection and temperature control which helps to maintain optimal performance and prevent damage from overheating. The pump is also built to last, with quick and easy maintenance and excellent quality. It is also designed to save energy thanks to its efficient energy consumption and doesn't require an oil bath reservoir to operate. As well as this, the pump features an inlet port which prevents contaminants from entering the pump and contaminating the vacuum. Overall, RV 3 is an efficient vacuum pump ideal for a range of applications. It provides superior performance, quality and reliability and helps to lower running costs and minimise downtime.
