E2M -Medium and Large Rotary Vane

EM Series pumps are rugged, mechanical oil-sealed pumps in a compact and quiet design. They feature advanced lubrication circuits, high reliability, and accessories to suit your specific application needs.

Ideal for dealing with extreme gaseous environments such as metallurgy, pharmaceutical freeze drying or refrigeration system evacuation, the EM series is the industry standard for zero contamination of process and effective lubrication under high gas loads.

Features & Benefits

Product Quality

E2M series two stage oil sealed rotary vane vacuum pumps are renowed for their ultimate vacuum, rapid pumping speed, quiet operation and ability to handle water vapour. There direct drive rotary vane pumps are inherently compact and vibration free, and with their finger-proof fan and coupling housings they offer excellent operator protection.

Internal classification of Ex II 3 G c IIB T4.

Built-in protection systems

The motor is enclosed and cooled by the motor-cooling fan and overheating protection is provided via a thermal overload device. Your EM pump is intelligent too. It automatically resets and restarts the pump when the motor cools down. No manual intervention is required.

Easy to install

Installation is relatively simple with no customer wiring required - they come equipped with an integral IEC connector. The alternate side inlet connection port also allows you to install in height-restricted areas.

Condensable Vapours

Vapours condensing in pump oil leads to poor lubrication, increased wear of moving parts and loss of vacuum performance.

The EM is designed to run hot and has a two open position gas ballast valve to allow the highest gas ballast flowrates of any similar sized pump. The EM pump has great flexibility to operate on applications as a high-vacuum mode or as a high-throughput mode.

All two-stage pumps have to "compromise" the oil lubrication system to achieve good ultimate vacuum, but if the pump is operated at high inlet pressure or with high vapour loads, the high vacuum stage will suffer from oil starvation and high rates of condensation of vapours in the oil. Edwards unique "Mode Selector Switch", in combination with gas ballast position GB2, allows the pump to handle the highest vapour loads of any pump in its class without any wear or loss of lubrication.
