Edwards RV3 Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump is a robust, oil-sealed dual-stage pump designed for high performance across a wide range of laboratory and industrial applications. Engineered for exceptional vapor handling capacity, rapid response, and minimal maintenance, the RV3 sets the benchmark for small rotary vane vacuum pumps worldwide.
Key Features:
- Ideal for wet, dusty, and clean dry pumping applications
- Highest vapor handling capacity in its class—perfect for freeze drying, extraction, filtration, and gel drying
- Fast-acting automatic inlet valve (0.4 sec) provides best-in-class anti-suckback protection to keep systems clean and safe
- Universal motor supports wide voltage and frequency ranges (100-120 / 200-230 VAC, 50/60 Hz) for global compatibility
- Simple maintenance—parts can be serviced or replaced without dismantling the pump mechanism; all parts self-align
- Controlled opening at power-up eliminates vacuum pressure surges
- UL and CSA approved, with unique mode selector switch for either high vacuum or high throughput operation
- Operates quietly at only 48 dB(A)
