As a further fore vacuum pump, Leybold introduces the CLAWVAC dry vacuum pump. In addition to the applications already mentioned for the VACUBE range, the CLAWVAC is also suitable for drying and sterilization processes and environmental technology applications. Furthermore, it is used in extruder degassing. 
 
The uncomplicated handling of the robust pump can also be traced back to its functional principle: In the CLAWVAC, a claw rotor pair rotates completely contactless and wear-free in the cylinder. The CLAWVAC differentiates itself from conventional claw pumps mainly through its material selection. Stainless steel rotors as well as the corrosion-resistant coated vacuum chamber also prove themselves under very harsh process conditions and contribute to a reliable operation. 
 
The compression room of the CLAWVAC allows a simple disassembly and cleaning by the end user. This includes the removal of the rotor pair and its easy reassembly without a need for complicated timing adjustment. This is a favorable feature for customers running dirty applications, which so far needed to ask for cleaning by the manufacturer?s staff. This design principle also enables a quick exchange of individual components. In sum, the set-up ensures minimum standstill times and low service costs.
