Vacuum thin-film industry has been looking for a pump that is clean (oil free), long lasting and universally applicable to all processes such as Etch, CVD and PVD. Dry Screw Pump is invented to do just that.

Operating Principle

Dry Screw Pump consists of precision-grind and matching pair of screws that makes no contact (no wear). The pump is suitable for clean as well as harsh and corrosive environment. It uses no oil and has the shortest gas discharge path which makes this pump more efficient than any other style dry pump available on the market.

Unlike Scroll pump which deteriorates with usage from day one, dry screw pump maintains vacuum integrity year after year without requiring service. Cost of ownership is lower than Scroll Pump. More than 60,000 screw rotors are produced each year.

VPC pump is built with superior technology to achieve excellent vacuum performance and low running costs. The highly intelligent dry pump is ideal for replacing wet pumps as well as Scroll Pumps.

Characteristics of VPC Dry Vacuum Pump

Short Gas Path and Reduce the Contamination of Process Gas: Comparing to other type of dry vacuum pump, VPC screw vacuum pump has the shortest gas path in the industry; minimizing   contamination such as condensing.    Screw rotors can play as a powder transmission mechanism.  It runs well even in the presence of contamination. Patented rotor profile can provide rotor excellent sealing effects thus a larger clearance is allowable in between. Pump rotor wearing and rotor jam by the process contamination can be reduced by larger allowable clearance.

Simple Structure Reduce the Chance of Unexpected Pump Stop and Easy for Overhaul Process: Screw type vacuum is composed by a pair of screw rotors and no isolation plates are required in different stages of pumping chamber.   Process contamination between rotors and isolation plates can also be avoided. Overhaul VPC dry pump is much easier than other type of dry pump. The repair time is shorter and the cost is lower.

Remote Control Software Can Protect Pump during abnormal situations: Microprocessor monitors running status at various pump parameters.  Pump can be easily operated and monitored at the operation panel.  Remote control software helps customer to monitor the pump’s running status remotely.

  • Features and Benefits
  • Environment friendly, low operating costs – no oil, no waste disposal cost
  • Minimum downtimes, maximum ruggedness.
  • Modular accessories meeting the demands of challenging process requirements.
  • Low maintainence. Easy to service.
