The OktaLine ATEX pumps feature proven Roots operation with the ATEX certification for use in potentially explosive [[{"fid":"30327","view_mode":"default","fields":{"field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":""},"type":"media","attributes":{"height":180,"width":250,"style":"float: right; margin: 10px;","class":"media-element file-default"}}]]applications. Vacuum pumps in this series are ideal for processes in explosive areas or for evacuating explosive gases according to the ATEX directive (94/9/EC) in chemical and process technology applications, industrial applications, coating, the semiconductor industry and research & development. Depending on the application, vacuum pump users can choose between equipment category 2 and 3. All pumps are suitable for temperature class T3 and have very low leakage rates of less than 7.5x10-9 Torr l/s. Pumps in the series are resistant to pressure surges of up to 1,600 kPa (12,000 Torr). In addition, use of the magnetic coupling prevents a gas exchange between process related internal and external atmosphere. The line covers pumping speeds from 280 m³/h to 5,190 m³/h (165 CFM to 3055 CFM).
