Edwards XDS46i Dry Scroll Pump
The Edwards XDS46i Dry Scroll Pump has an advanced bearing shield design that completely isolates the vacuum environment from lubricants. This design ensures a fully dry and hermetically sealed operation while protecting the bearings from exposure to process vapors. Its clean, oil-free performance makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring contamination-free vacuum conditions.

Features
With a built-in gas ballast, the XDS46i efficiently handles vapors, expanding its range of suitable applications. The inverter drive optimizes motor characteristics, ensuring the pump consistently operates at the ideal speed. These features enhance efficiency and adaptability, making it a reliable solution for demanding vacuum processes.
This pump serves various applications, including automotive brake line and air conditioning evacuation, turbomolecular pump backing, and chemical processes like gel drying and solvent recovery. It also supports coating systems, high-energy physics, and mass spectrometry, providing versatility across multiple industries.
The XDS46i’s single-sided scroll arrangement, combined with an innovative motor and bearing design, allows easy field servicing with minimal special tools. Its advanced interface offers traditional, analog, and digital control methods for remote operation via USB, RS232, or RS485.
With lubricant-free operation and hermetic sealing, the pump delivers a completely dry vacuum, preventing cross-contamination. The absence of atmosphere-to-vacuum shaft seals further protects the bearings, reducing wear, lowering operating temperatures, and extending service life.
Testing
The Edwards XDS46i is used and reconditioned. Our technicians use essential tools like a vacuum gauge, leak detector, and proper vacuum pump oil to ensure effective testing. During the process, we inspect connections, check oil levels, monitor vacuum performance, and detect leaks to assess the pump’s condition accurately.
The listed specifications come directly from the manufacturer, but a vacuum pump’s suction naturally degrades over time. So, after receiving your order, we will test the pump and inform you of its actual vacuum pressure. We remove oil from all rotary vane vacuum pumps prior to shipping. You will need to acquire the proper oil and fill the pump upon arrival.
