About the series
Features and benefits of the SOGEVAC series
The series at a glance
With a wide pumping speed range from 10 to 1200 m³/h, the series offers suitable solutions for a wide variety of industrial applications.
The pumps are suitable for continuous operation from atmospheric pressure down to ultimate pressure and stand out for their high pumping speed, low noise and vibration levels and efficient air cooling. An integrated exhaust filter with an efficiency of 99.9% reduces oil carry-over and ensures largely oil-free exhaust air.
SOGEVAC pumps can be used both as stand-alone backing pumps and in combination with Roots or high vacuum pumps.
With the SOGEVAC series, Leybold offers a proven range of oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pumps developed for reliable vacuum performance, high operational reliability and long-lasting operation. The robust design, the single-stage pumping principle and the versatile versions enable reliable use in industry, research and laboratories. Thanks to its service-friendly design, efficient oil separation and proven technology, the SOGEVAC series offers an economical solution for numerous industrial and scientific vacuum applications.
High performance and reliability
The Leybold SOGEVAC series provides reliable vacuum generation with high pumping speeds and enables continuous operation over a wide pressure range. The proven oil-sealed rotary vane principle ensures stable performance and high operational reliability.
Compact and quiet
The compact design and the small footprint allow easy integration into existing plants and vacuum systems. At the same time, optimised lubrication circuits, manufacturing tolerances and drive concepts contribute to a low noise and vibration level.
Easy to maintain and versatile
Integrated functions such as gas ballast, oil separation and anti-suckback protection make operation easier and support reliable process control. The SOGEVAC series can also be adapted to different applications with various oils, gas ballast versions and further options.
Operating principle
The Leybold SOGEVAC series works on the proven principle of single-stage, oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum technology. An eccentrically mounted rotor with vanes rotates inside the pump housing, creating continuously changing working chambers. The air drawn in is compressed by the change in volume of the working chambers and is then expelled through the outlet.
The pump oil performs important functions for lubrication, sealing and heat dissipation and thus supports reliable and efficient pump operation. An integrated oil separation system reduces oil carry-over and contributes to clean operation. Depending on the version, functions such as gas ballast and different oil variants may be available for various process requirements.
The robust design, the reliable vacuum performance and the wide choice of sizes make the SOGEVAC series a versatile solution for numerous industrial, scientific and laboratory applications. The pumps are suitable both for general vacuum processes and for applications that require reliable and continuous vacuum generation.
