Atlas Copco launches three new intelligent VSD+ vacuum pumps. The DZS 100 - 400 VSD+ series pumps are a range of air-cooled, oil-free claw pumps made for particularly harsh applications. They come with built-in variable speed drive (VSD) and can be controlled remotely by the new VSD+ app.
To better prepare the equipment for harsh application environments, Atlas Copco equips its DZS 100, 200 and 400 VSD+ series with corrosion-resistant materials and a durable internal coating, while also reducing the environmental impact due to its low energy consumption, small space requirements and handling of pollutants. The DZS pump range is suited for conveying, clamping and drying processes.
The design supports uncomplicated maintenance. Cleaning or replacing the pump claws does not require gearbox stripping and retiming, enabling quicker and easier access to the inside of the pump. No new synchronization is necessary during the subsequent assembly, resulting in shortened downtimes and lower service costs.
To control the pumps, a VSD+ inverter drive is integrated into the motors. This allows for the optimum performance points of the claw pump to be specifically controlled and for power consumption to be reduced. This function ensures that energy is saved and that the pumps’ CO2 footprint is reduced. Sustainability is further reinforced in the immediate process environment: Certified to ISO 8573-1 Class 0 standards, the completely oil-free DZS VSD+ pumps are 100% harmless to the quality of the ambient air during operation. This eliminates the risk of oil-induced contamination and damage to sensitive applications and products in the environment, providing a guarantee that neither man nor the environment will be harmed by the use of the pumps.
The newly developed VSD+ app allows the vacuum pumps to be controlled and monitored in real time from a smartphone. Pumps can also be commissioned optionally by entering fewer set points. With just a few clicks, the performance of the pump can be precisely adjusted to the respective process requirements; this added functionality helps ensure greater user-friendliness and more energy-efficient operation.
