PAV-B8-xxx: Dry Vane Vacuum Pump for on-site Vacuum Box Testing

Non-contractual photo

We offer an ultra high-performance dry vacuum pump (8m³/h – 150 mbar vacuum) in 110/120V  – 50/60Hz and 220/240V – 50/60Hz, perfectly suited for the most demanding field conditions, with optimal reliability and minimal maintenance. 

Its dry vane vacuum system eliminates the need for oil lubrication, allowing the pump to operate in any orientation without the risk of failure or environmental contamination.

Our PAV-B8 vacuum pump will be perfect for your vacuum box leak testing applications and can also meet a wide range of other applications.

PRESENTATION ET APPLICATIONS

The PAV-B8 Dry Vacuum Pump is a high-performance solution specifically engineered for vacuum box leak testing under the most demanding field conditions. Delivering an 8 m³/h nominal airflow and an ultimate vacuum of 150 mbar, this compact yet robust pump outperforms traditional oil-lubricated systems by eliminating lubrication altogether—thanks to its self-lubricating dry vane technology. 

This design not only reduces maintenance to a minimum but also allows the pump to operate in any orientation without risk of failure or environmental contamination. Housed in a reinforced stainless steel casing, the PAV-B8 also features quick Rectus 21 connections, an adjustable minimum vacuum valve, a dust-proof exhaust valve, and a dual-phase filter for particles and moisture. With noise levels as low as 58 dB, low vibrations, and an all-in-one design that integrates power control and pneumatic connections within the casing, the PAV-B8 offers unmatched ergonomics and ease of use compared to other pumps on the market. 

Available in 220V or 110V versions, it ensures reliable performance for vacuum box leak testing and a wide range of other industrial applications, setting new standards in safety, performance, reliability, and efficiency.
