Pfeiffer Vacuum Introduces HiPace™, A New Line of Faster, Higher Performance Turbopumps

Pfeiffer Vacuum, one of the world's leading producers of vacuum products and services, introduces HiPace™, a new line of fast, compact and powerful turbopumps. Available in pumping speeds that range from 10 – 700 liters/second, HiPace™ features a new rotor design that reduces run-up time and provides high gas throughput and exceptional compression for light gases. HiPace™ is ideal for use in analytical instrumentation and vacuum processes, semiconductor technology, research and development, coatings and industrial applications.

The HiPace™ rotor design provides up to 30% faster pumping speeds with up to 200% better throughput and the powerful drive reduces run-up time by 40%. In addition, its higher foreline pressure tolerance and lower weight reduces set-up costs. HiPace™ is offered in a variety of drive versions, including Profibus and DeviceNet without an increase in package size. The integrated drive electronics in HiPace™ reduces bulky and costly cabling. Innovative materials have doubled drive service life, while proven Pfeiffer Vacuum bearing design ensures reliability, even in harsh applications. HiPace™ turbopumps can be installed in any orientation and are also available in corrosive-gas versions.

Pfeiffer Vacuum has developed a total vacuum solution for analytical instrumentation that utilize vacuum. HiPace™ turbopumps coupled with Pentalineä, a new line of rotary vane pumps and ActiveLine CMR/CCR capacitive transmitters, provide a total vacuum solution for optimized analytical performance.
