Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps & Systems

NASH dry screw vacuum pumps and systems offer dry and contact-free operation, requiring no lubrication in the pumping chamber. For the pharmaceutical industry, this translates into major advantages including no process contamination and no pollution through pump operation. Dry screw vacuum pumps are an oil-free vacuum technology with a non-contacting screw design to handle corrosives, organics, inorganics, and solvents.

Benefits:

  • Dry running, contact-free operation 
  • High vacuum in one stage
  • High water vapor tolerance 
  • Short evacuation time due to high suction capacities 
  • Low noise level 
  • Easy to service
  • Low life cycle costs 
  • ATEX version available
