Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps

COBRA NC 0400 B

COBRA NC 0400 B

Description The COBRA NC single stage, direct driven rotary screw dry vacuum pumps are designed for difficult applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical processing industries. The COBRA NC series, B version vacuum pumps incorporate a unique, monoblock, continuously variable pitch screw design. The variable pitch design operates more efficiently, has a higher CFM to horsepower ratio, and lower operating temperatures than traditional dry screw vacuum pumps.

Standard Equipment The COBRA NC 0400 B provides vacuum down to .0075 torr, and pumping speeds up to 247 ACFM. They will operate at any pressure from atmospheric down to ultimate pressure. For higher pumping speeds and lower ultimate pressures, Busch offers COBRA/booster systems along with many other custom designed vacuum systems.

Operating Principle Two counter rotating screw shaped rotors rotate inside of a common cylinder. As the screws rotate, they trap a volume of gas at the inlet of the vacuum pump, and convey that gas towards the vacuum pump discharge. The variable pitch design causes an internal compression within the pumping chamber prior to discharging the gas. This principle creates up to 50% higher efficiency (CFM per horsepower), and reduces the temperature rise by up to 50% in comparison with traditional screw designs.

• Degassing processes in the food industry The screws do not contact each other or the cylinder/end plates due to precision manufacturing and gears that maintain rotor timing. Therefore, no lubricant is required in the pumping chamber. Lubricants for the bearings and gears are sealed from the pumping chamber by mechanical shaft seals. Cooling is achieved by a direct (once-through) water cooling system which utilizes an integral coolant pump and flow controlling valve.

• Impregnation processes • Crystal growing for semiconductor and solar industries • Extruder degassing • Recycling of process gases without adding contamination • Industrial furnaces • Evacuation of gas bottles prior to filling with high-purity gases • Leak testing • Central vacuum for laboratory and pilot plants • Sinter processes • Coating technology • Vacuum processes in all applications where oil-free vacuum is required
