Overview

The Wordfik PVX40 is an industrial oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump engineered for reliable, continuous performance across a broad spectrum of manufacturing and processing applications. It delivers a pumping speed of 40 m³/h at 50Hz or 48 m³/h at 60Hz, achieving an ultimate vacuum of 0.5 mbar. Powered by a 1.1 kW (50Hz) or 1.5 kW (60Hz) heavy-duty copper motor, the PVX40 offers a significant step up in capacity from smaller PVX models, making it the ideal choice for production environments that demand higher throughput, stable vacuum under varying loads, and the ability to handle condensable vapors with ease. Its reinforced cast-iron construction and precision-fitted components ensure durability and long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings.

Key Features

• Reinforced Cast-Iron Construction – Built with a robust cast-iron housing and precision-fitted vanes that minimize internal leakage, ensuring consistent vacuum performance and extended service life even under continuous operation.

• High-Performance Gas Ballast Valve – Equipped with a high-quality gas ballast valve that effectively handles condensable vapors, maintaining stable vacuum levels under varying operating conditions and preventing oil contamination.

• Superior Ultimate Vacuum – Achieves an ultimate pressure of 0.5 mbar, providing deep vacuum capability for demanding processes such as vacuum drying, impregnation, and composite material processing.

• Low Noise Operation – Operates at just 64–65 dB(A), ensuring a quieter working environment compared to many competing pumps in its class.

• Heavy-Duty Copper Motor – Powered by a high-quality copper-wound motor that delivers reliable performance, energy efficiency, and overload protection in demanding industrial environments.

• Long Service Intervals – Designed for extended maintenance cycles with low consumable costs, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership.

• Efficient Oil Circulation System – Uses lubricating oil for sealing, cooling, and lubrication, with an oil capacity of 1.5 L and effective oil mist separation to minimize environmental impact.

• Stable and Continuous Operation – Engineered for uninterrupted industrial processes, ensuring efficient evacuation even under fluctuating loads.
