Leybold is a global leader in vacuum technology, providing industrial and scientific vacuum pumps ranging from rough to ultra-high vacuum systems. Their portfolio includes oil-sealed rotary vane pumps (TRIVAC and SOGEVAC) and oil-free dry compressing units (DRYVAC, CLAWVAC, and VARODRY) used in research, manufacturing, and food processing.
Core Product Categories
- Oil-Sealed Pumps: TRIVAC and SOGEVAC are traditional wet rotary vane and rotary plunger designs that offer high compression ratios, internal cooling, and deep ultimate pressures.
- Dry Screw & Claw Pumps: Oil-free models such as DRYVAC, CLAWVAC, VARODRY designed to eliminate process contamination, lower maintenance, and handle harsh industrial duties.
- High & Ultra-High Vacuum: Turbomolecular and cryopumps capable of reaching extreme low pressures (< 1 × 10⁻¹¹ mbar) for specialized physics and analytical gear.
Key Technologies & Principles
- Positive Displacement: Traps and compresses gas volumes mechanically from the inlet to the exhaust port.
- Gas Ballast Control: Introduces controlled air or gas into the compression stage to prevent vapors (like water) from condensing inside the pump oil.
- Smart Monitoring: Modern digital integration features integrated frequency converters and remote connectivity options for predictive maintenance.
Applications
- Industrial Manufacturing: Heat treatment, vacuum coating, and heavy-duty packaging lines.
- Research & Laboratories: Mass spectrometry, electron microscopy, and physics test chambers.
- Food & Processing: Drying, degassing, and safe food-processing configurations.
