Used EDWARDS RV5 #9283710 for sale

EDWARDS RV5 is a rotary vane vacuum pump that works on a principle of positive displacement. This type of vacuum pump is most commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, process control, research and development, food processing, medical, and other applications requiring high vacuum levels. EDWARDS RV-5 is capable of producing vacuum levels down to 0.6 mbar (0.01 Torr) with pressure capability up to 7 bar (90 Torr). RV5 is composed of two rotating vanes that are positioned in their respective cavities. These impellers move back and forth within their housing causing a continuous compression and expansion of the pumped gas as it moves along the housing. This compression creates a decrease in the pressure of the pumped gas, allowing a vacuum to be created within the pump. It is also important to note that the vacuum created within the pump is independent of the area within which the pump is placed. RV-5 has an oil-lubrication system that maintains the impeller's rotational efficiency and long service life. This lubrication system is composed of a sump and a pressure-control valve that allows the evacuated oil collected in the pump to be returned to the oil reservoir, therefore prolonging the useful life of the pump. EDWARDS RV5 is packaged with a three-phase drying package with a built in oil mist filter. This makes the pump suitable for use in applications involving extremely corrosive substances. It also has a double-flange backing plate installed to reduce vibration and noise levels. EDWARDS RV-5 is capable of being operated manually with a hand wheel. It also offers a starter and voltage options to be chosen depending on specific needs. The pump is also equipped with a large maintenance window and capless design for easy accessibility and quick servicing. Overall, RV5 is a reliable, robust rotary vane vacuum pump designed to provide vacuum levels down to 0.6 mbar (0.01 Torr) and pressure of up to 7 bar (90 Torr). Its oil-lubrication system and three-phase drying package along with double-flange backing plate and capless design makes it suitable for applications involving corrosive substances as well as industrial, process control and medical sectors.
