Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a comprehensive guide on selecting medical vacuum systems, detailing various technologies and configurations available from Powerex. It emphasizes compliance with NFPA99 standards and highlights the company's commitment to quality and service.
Control Panel Features: The control panel is NFPA99 compliant and UL508A listed, housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure. It includes features like automatic pump alternation, reserve pump alarms, and redundant control circuit transformers. Each pump has a motor circuit breaker, selector switch, and run hour meter.
Receiver Specifications: The system includes an ASME stamped receiver rated for full vacuum, equipped with a vacuum gauge, block and by-pass valves, and a manual drain valve.
System Configurations: Powerex offers three configurations: Modular Skid Mount, Vertical Tank Mount, and Horizontal Tank Mount. All systems are manufactured in ISO9001 UL certified facilities.
Powerex Building Management Integrator (PBMI): The PBMI provides a touch screen interface for system monitoring and uses 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 but require regular maintenance and are not suitable for waste anesthesia systems.
Model Specifications: The document provides 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. The company has been building medical systems since 1988, ensuring NFPA99 compliance.

Medical Vacuum - Oilless Rotary Vane-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 - Oilless Rotary Vane-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,...

Medical Vacuum - Oilless Rotary Vane-5

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....
