New high-performance multiple dry claw vacuum pump system from Atlas Copco
15 May 2024
Atlas Copco has launched a new DZM multiple dry claw vacuum pump system offering a powerful combination of energy efficiency, reliability and ease of installation. The plug-and-play vacuum system is easy to operate and ideally suited for industrial companies operating in hot and dry working environments.
DZM multiple vacuum pump system
The space-saving vacuum system is available in three sizes: DZM 600 VSD, DZM 900 VSD and DZM 1200 VSD, with an intake volume flow between 112 and 1230 cubic metres per hour (m3/h). As with individual DZS claw pumps, the DZM system can create a vacuum level up to 140 mbar(a). The standard features of DZS pumps include stainless steel claws and a corrosion-resistant pump chamber, allowing reliable operation even under difficult conditions.
Process gases flow continuously through vacuum pumps, which may result in premature failure of the pump. It is therefore very important to select suitable materials and coatings.
The dry claw technology used in the DZS series also offers the advantage that, despite the very tight clearances between rotors and casing, there is no contact between these components and the pump is therefore virtually free from wear. The result is a reliable pump combining longevity with minimum maintenance expenses. Thanks to details such as an integrated exhaust silencer, DZS pumps are among the quietest dry claw pumps on the market. They therefore contribute to a pleasant working atmosphere.
Our new DZM multiple pump system is based on the simple design principles of our compressors. We install our high-performance DZS pumps inside a noise reducing enclosure and offer our customers a solution that is both compact and intelligent.
The sturdy housing protects the pumps, reduces noise levels and heat and contains all the technology required for operation in a single box. In order to protect the heat-sensitive electronics, “hot” and “cold” components are installed separately from each other. The side walls are removable, allowing rapid access and facilitating easier maintenance. The user interface features the tried and tested Elektronikon controller from Atlas Copco, which is integrated in the front panel. The controller operates the multiple dry claw pump system and ensures that the individual pumps are harmonised with each other in operation. The vacuum level is automatically monitored within the system and perfectly matches the process duty point. Accurate control is maintained with the variable speed drive working in conjunction with the cascade control of the remaining pumps. Lag pumps rotate duty on a regular basis to even usage, especially when redundancy is built in to the system, for example, in time of maintenance shut-downs. Information on pump status, system capacity, system pressure, energy efficiency, special events and maintenance status can be called up on the display and also transmitted via communication modules, if the customer wishes so.
The user receives a plug-and-play solution which is easy to install and handle. Our multiple pump system is compact, easy to transport, space-saving and less costly than alternative technologies which need to be assembled and installed at the customer’s plant.
