Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The document provides a comprehensive guide on selecting medical vacuum systems, detailing various technologies such as non-contacting dry claw, dry rotary vane, and lubricated rotary vane systems. It emphasizes the importance of compliance with NFPA99 standards and UL508A listing for control panels.
Control Panel Features: The control panel is housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure and includes features like a main power light, automatic pump alternation, reserve pump alarms, and redundant control circuit transformers. It also offers remote alarm monitoring capabilities.
System Components: The system includes an ASME stamped receiver with a vacuum gauge and manual drain valve. It is available in modular skid mount, vertical tank mount, and horizontal tank mount configurations, all manufactured in ISO9001 UL certified facilities.
Powerex Building Management Integrator (PBMI): This HMI touch screen panel provides vital system information and alerts, utilizing BacNet® protocol for communication with building automation systems.
Claw Pump Technology: Known for efficiency and low maintenance, claw pumps are suitable for waste anesthesia systems but have higher noise levels and initial costs. They operate with dry chambers and minimal oil requirements.
Oil-less Rotary Vane Technology: These pumps are cost-effective with no oil changes required, suitable for waste anesthesia systems, but have shorter vane life and lower efficiency.
Oil Sealed Rotary Vane Technology: Offering the lowest initial cost and highest vacuum levels, these pumps are durable and suitable for high ambient temperatures but require regular maintenance.
Model Specifications: The document includes detailed specifications for various models, including SCFM, horsepower, and dimensions for different configurations.
Available Options: Options include PBMI, high temperature alarms, internal tank linings, and variable frequency drives for claw pumps.
Why Powerex? Powerex emphasizes its integrated manufacturing process, quality control, and extensive service network, ensuring NFPA99 compliance and customer satisfaction.

Medical Vacuum - Claw-3

Claw Pump Technology Dry claw pumps are one of the latest technologies and have become very popular in medical/lab applications in recent years. Claw pumps are extremely efficient with the lowest electrical and maintenance costs. The pumping chambers are completely dry and there are no wearing parts on the rotors. This pump is capable of being operated with variable speed drive which can offer additional benefits in certain applications. Claw pumps do have higher noise levels and lower ultimate vacuum level capabilities than oil sealed rotary vane pumps. This pump type is suitable for use in...

Medical Vacuum - Claw-4

Oil-less Rotary Vane Technology Oil-less rotary vane pumps are a cost effective solution for applications where oil in the pumping cham- ber or oil mist in the exhaust may not be desirable. This simple design requires less routine maintenance than an oil flooded type pump, but does require periodic vane replacement. This pump type is suitable for use in dedicated waste anesthesia gas disposal systems. Available Options: • High temperature alarm • Internal tank lining • Tank sight gauge A rotor is mounted eccentrically in the pump cylinder and contains several sliding vanes. As the rotor turns,...

Oil Sealed Rotary Vane Technology Oil sealed rotary vane pumps are durable long lasting pumps that have been widely used in hospital and laboratory applications for many years. This is one of the simplest and most reliable pump types available. The use of oil benefits the pump in higher efficiencies, lower operating temperatures, and lower sound levels. Oil sealed rotary vane pumps are a good choice for most applications. Available Options: • High temperature alarm • Internal tank lining • Tank sight gauge A rotor is mounted eccentrically in the pump cylinder and contains several sliding vanes....
