Medical Vacuum Systems

Product catalog summary

Overview: Powerex specializes in medical vacuum systems using dry rotary vane technology, offering various configurations and control panel options. The company also designs customized electrical control panels and mechanical systems, emphasizing innovation and high standards through ISO 9001 certification and NFPA 99 compliance.

System Design and Configuration: Powerex provides four main configurations: tank-over skid mount, modular skid mount, vertical tank mount, and horizontal tank mount. Each system includes multiple vacuum pumps, an ASME receiver, a control panel, interconnecting piping and wiring, and vibration isolation pads.

Control Panel Options:

HMI Control Panel: Features a PLC controller with a 6” color touch screen, visual and audible alarms, and a NEMA 4/12 enclosure.
Basic Control Panel: Includes timed lead/lag pump alternation, reserve pump alarms, and a NEMA 12 enclosure.
PBMI Control Panel: Offers all HMI features plus a building automation gateway and email notifications for alarms.

Technology and Benefits:

Dry Rotary Vane: Utilizes self-lubricating graphite composite vanes, offering benefits such as no oil usage, long vane life, low vibration, and compliance with NFPA99 standards.
Oil Sealed Rotary Vane: Involves oil injection for sealing and lubrication, with features like high vacuum levels and low maintenance.
Dry Claw Pump: Provides totally dry compression with minimal maintenance and no water costs.

Additional Features: Powerex systems are manufactured in ISO 9001 UL certified facilities and offer expandable configurations, high temperature alarms, and internal tank linings. The company maintains a network of over 220 authorized service centers and provides in-house training for distributors.

Conclusion: Powerex's medical vacuum systems are designed for efficiency, reliability, and compliance with industry standards, offering a variety of configurations and control options to suit different medical facility needs.

Innovation and Quality: Powerex was the first to introduce NFPA 99 compliant scroll systems and composite piston technology. The company maintains consistent quality by using the same compressor brand and ownership since inception.

As the rotor turns, centrifugal force causes the vanes to slide outward creating a seal against the cylinder wall. The vanes are constructed of a self-lubricating graphite composite material which allows them to operate against the cylinder wall without the need for any other sealing or lubricating fluid. As a result of the offset rotor, a succession of variable volumes are formed in the cylinder housing creating the flow of vapor through the pump. Vapor is pulled into the pump inlet which is then compressed and discharged through the exhaust to atmosphere. Dry Rotary Vane Systems (with HMI, PBMI or Basic controls) Control Panel Options: HMI, PBMI or Basic Powerex offers three different control panel options for our Medical Vacuum Systems — HMI controls as our standard and optional PBMI or Basic controls.
