ILMVAC Pumps and Systems 

ISO9001 compliant since 1996, German manufacturer ILMVAC use state-of-the-art production tooling and techniques to meet the highest industry standards.

ILMVAC focus on chemically resistance throughout their range and therefore specialise in dry pump technologies including

• Scroll
• Spindle
• Diaphragm
• Turbomolecular
• Hybrid Rotary Vane

The use of dry technologies and highly resistant materials of construction make ILMVAC pumps particularly suitable for the pumping of condensable solvent and acid vapours.

Scroll Pumps

ILMVAC scroll pumps are unique, having a vertical shaft construction which places the exhaust port at the lowest point, thus allowing condensate to flow freely from the scroll mechanism. The wetted components are treated using a process which seals the surfaces with PTFE at a molecular level. Unlike a coating treatment, this surface does not wear with age. There are no bearings inside the vacuum environment, making these pumps excellently suited to arduous processes.

Diaphragm Pumps

ILMVAC offers the largest range of diaphragm vacuum pumps and systems. Construction is available in aluminium for permanent gas pumping, or in fluorinated plastics (PTFE) for solvent and acid vapour pumping. A favourite with both Original Equipment Manufacturers and laboratory manages alike, ILMVAC diaphragm pumps have an excellent track record in providing long term reliability with extended service intervals and exceptionally low cost of ownership.

Developments made from diaphragm pumps include dedicated laboratory vacuum systems, cascade systems and discrete units for chemical evaporation and aspiration.

LVS laboratory vacuum systems can be supplied with four different control modes, providing exactly the right operation for the application. These include intelligent speed control to match performance to requirement without user intervention, and a system which simple turns the pump on and off when it is needed.

Cascade systems provide very high flow rates which are not normally achievable with diaphragm pumps. At the same time, they maintain all the benefits of dry pump technologies without compromise in chemical resistance.

Solvent Evaporation

ILMVAC evaporators use patented technologies to remove the need for rotating sample flasks. Ease of use and long life are the key benefits of this development.

Aspiration

Vacuum is ideal for the safe removal of dangerous fluids in the work place. From millilitres to gallons, ILMVAC aspiration systems can handle the task safely, containing the hazard and preventing contamination of the surrounding environment.

Turbomolecular Pump Systems

ILMVAC offers a range of complete turbomolecular pump systems for High and Ultra High Vacuum applications. Specialising in hydrocarbon free, dry backing pump solutions, ILMVAC’s range provides pumping speeds from 50 to 1000 ls^-1.

Systems can be trolley or pillar mounted, all-in-one boxed systems, or even supplied in a cushioned flight case for service engineers on the road.

Chemvac Hybrid Pumps

ILMVAC’s unique hybrid range of pumps provides the benefits of chemical resistance with the deep levels of vacuum only available from oil-sealed rotary pumps. A PTFE diaphragm pump constantly removes contaminants from the oil stages, maintaining the oil at 8 mbar, thus preventing organic solvents from condensing in the oil stages. Available in a range of sizes, the Chemvac pumps are ideal for high vacuum applications using solvent and acid vapours.

Instrumentation

Reliable measurement is critical to any vacuum application. ILMVAC manufacturers a range of gauges and controllers including hand held, battery powered units which are ideal for site measurement.
