Swedish Plant Replaces Oil Sealed Vacuum Pumps with Edwards' Dry Technology
A major power equipment plant in Sweden has replaced their existing oil sealed rotary vane vacuum pumps with Edwards' GXS dry screw industrial vacuum pumps.
The Swedish plant, a global leader in power and automation technologies, specialises in developing and manufacturing various high voltage transmission equipment. They use a number of vacuum processes which are involved in the production of high voltage equipment, requiring vacuum pumps mainly for use on drying and filling applications, as well as gas recirculation of SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride).
Working with Edwards' distributor in Sweden, Advanced Vacuum Distribution, the plant has been replacing their old rotary vane vacuum pumps with Edwards' GXS dry screw vacuum pumps. They have replaced several pumps so far, with more opportunities for replacement in the future.
"We are delighted that Edwards were able to help this customer benefit from GXS' high reliability, energy efficiency and excellent performance combined with minimal maintenance and long service intervals," commented Franck Merieux, Market Sector Manager at Edwards. "The GXS design is founded on Edwards' many years of experience and success with dry vacuum pumps operating on the harshest of processes."
