Pfeiffer DuoVane 6 SD XP Explosion Proof Motor Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump, Prepared for Hydrocarbon Oil, 115 VAC, Class I Group D, Class II Groups F & G, Division I, NEMA
The Pfeiffer DuoVane 6 SD XP explosion proof rotary vane vacuum pump includes an explosion proof motor and is specially prepared for operation with standard hydrocarbon vacuum pump oil. This vacuum pump is recommended when pumping air, nitrogen, water vapor, or other inert or non-reactive gases.
The Pfeiffer DuoVane 6 hydrocarbon oil prepared rotary vane vacuum pump has an excellent ultimate pressure down to 1 x 10
-3 Torr and is commonly used for backing turbomolecular pumps, backing diffusion pumps, backing roots pumps, refrigeration system evacuation, epoxy degassing, backing mass spectrometers, freeze drying, vacuum centrifugal applications, space research, and other vacuum processes. This vacuum pump has a pumping speed displacement of 3.8 CFM and requires 1-Phase 110/230 VAC, 60 Hz input power.
The Pfeiffer DuoVane 6 vacuum pump can be fitted with a variety of optional accessories, including oil mist filters and traps. These explosion proof vacuum pumps are new, typically stocked in inventory, and ship with the manufacturer's 1-year factory direct warranty. Parts, oil, and optional accessories for these pumps are available for easy purchase on this website. The complete operating and instruction manual can be downloaded in PDF format below.

These explosion proof rotary vane vacuum pumps include an electrically sealed explosion proof motor. These explosion proof motors are designed to limit the chance that a spark from inside the motor could travel outward and ignite airborne flammable vapors or materials in the laboratory or facility where the pump is operating. Explosion proof vacuum pumps are typically needed in applications where flammable materials may accidentally leak into the room air where these pumps are used.
Explosion proof vacuum pumps are
NOT designed to evacuate vapors and gas mixtures which are explosive if ignited.
When the vacuum pump is used to pump flammable gases, you must keep a closed air-tight system by:
- Not opening the gas ballast, as opening the gas ballast could cause air (O2) to enter the pump.
- Ensuring the foreline inlet and exhaust outlet are leak tight to avoid flammable gas leakage into the atmosphere or air (O2) from entering the pump housing.
- Using only an inert gas such as nitrogen (N2) at the gas ballast to purge or dilute harmful gases being pumped.
