Turbo pumping station suits laboratories Vacuum equipment manufacturer Edwards is launching a ‘plug and play’ turbo pumping station for laboratories and research centres. The new T-station 75 turbo cart, a compact entry level turbo pumping station, provides users in laboratories and research centres with fast pump down to an ultimate pressure of less than 5 × 10-8 mbar.
required vacuum up to twice as fast as competitive products thanks to higher capacity backing pumps and is simple to use with a single button system to start and stop. The T-station arrives pre-assembled and is easy to install. Each T-station incorporates Edwards EXT75DX turbo pump with a dry XDD1 diaphragm pump or E2M1.5 oil-sealed
backing pump and controller to give a nitrogen pumping speed of up to 61 litre/s. The EXT75DX compound turbo pumps feature oil-lubricated ceramic mechanical lower bearings and a dry permanent magnetic upper bearing to provide hydrocarbon- and vibration-free ultra high vacuum. The pumping cart features a new custom user interface controller
which displays turbo speed as a percentage, making it easier for the user to read with a quick glance. Additionally, it can control one active gauge including APG100 (Pirani), AIM (Penning), ASG (Strain) or WRG (combined Pirani/Penning) and also offers the option of a delayed turbo start, making it suitable for pumping larger chambers. www.edwardsvacuum.com
The turbo cart measures 395 x 350 mm and Edwards claims that it achieves the fastest pump down of large chambers (greater than 10 litres in volume) for its size. According to Edwards, the T-station can pump a chamber to the

Integral PTFE diaphragm JDA Global LLC has developed flouro-ONE a range of integral polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and rubber composite diaphragms. The one piece diaphragms can, the company says, reduce maintenance downtime and the number of parts required while providing excellent tensile strength, puncture resistance and mechanical flex life. The PTFE is 100% bonded to reinforced neoprene so that the diaphragms have the chemical resistance of the PTFE with the flex life of the neoprene. The diaphragms are interchangeable with Wilden PTFE-fitted pumps because they use the same shaft, and inner/outer plates. www.jdaglobal.com www.worldpumps.com
