G-M Series Pumps, a new range from Brey, use magnetic motor couplings to eliminate shaft seals. They provide completely leakproof pumping at pressure differentials up to 200 mbar and will handle gas temperatures up to BO’C. Also completely clean, contamination free pumping is ensured by exclusive use of 316 stainless steel and carbon in the construction of the pumps, which are oil-free in operation. G-M Pumps are designed for the most demanding applications, such as high system pressure and temperature gas circulation, de-adsorption tube gas analysis, and nuclear and high temperature gas sampling.

Known as the Roots range, the pumps are used in various applications where high pumping speeds at low pressures are required. Some models are designed with an integral bypass or gas cooling device. The pumps can be combined to provide complete pumping 10,000 m3 h-l. There are also specialized chemical solvent recovery
In such applications, where leaks may be completely intolerable, the inherently safe design of G-M pumps enables them, uniquely, to be mounted outside instead of inside the pressure system. Four G-M models are available to provide flow rates from 1 to 15 I min“. All are available with a choice of 6, 12. or 24 V dc ironless skew-wound motors, and accessories include voltage regulators for performance regulation. Brey (Compressors & Vacuum Pumps) Ltd.

Leybold-Heraeus Ltd, have introduced a new model of small turbomolecular vacuum pump. The TMP 150 pump offers increased pumping speed, even lower noise and vibration level under load and double the time intervals between servicing.
The photograph shows the Brey GK07 vacuum/compressor pump, in which the motor is separated from the pump by an extended drive shaft passing through a steel heat sink to allow continuous pumping of gases at up to 25o’C. The pump itself, which is constructed exclusively of 376 stainless steel and carbon, is highly corrosion resistant. Measuring only 200 mm long by 45 mm in diameter. the GK07 delivers maximum pressure or vacuum of 400 mbar and a flow rate of 15 I min- ’ A sparking plug is shown in the foreground to give scale. 385
