Description
Product Overview
The Edwards RV12 Rotary Vane Dual Stage Mechanical Vacuum Pump is engineered for precision and reliability in demanding environments. Constructed from durable stainless steel with a corded electric single-phase motor operating at 110V/60Hz, this pump delivers consistent performance across industrial, scientific, and HVAC applications. Its dual-stage design enables high vacuum pressure while maintaining quiet operation, making it suitable for labs, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance shops where noise reduction is critical. The pump’s unique mode selector switch allows seamless switching between high vacuum and high throughput modes without requiring multiple units. Designed with UL and CSA certification by an external test house, this model ensures safety and compliance in regulated environments.
Usage
The Edwards RV12 is ideal for applications requiring controlled vacuum levels with minimal noise interference. Common use cases include semiconductor manufacturing, laboratory equipment calibration, HVAC system maintenance, and industrial drying processes. Its two-position gas ballast allows handling of up to 290 g/hr water vapor (on RV12 model), making it suitable for environments where moisture control is essential. The pump’s rapid inlet valve closure within 0.4 seconds after stopping prevents pressure surges during operation transitions, enhancing system stability. It is particularly well-suited for technicians and engineers who prioritize quiet performance without compromising on vacuum strength or durability.
