Leybold – SOGEVAC NEO D 25

The new generation of SOGEVAC vacuum pumps. Triple-hitting vacuum technology for a clean, quiet and long-running performance.

Pairing health and safety with efficient processes is a vital need for any workplace, from research labs to industrial manufacturers. When processes rely on continuous vacuum, choosing the right components becomes all the more essential. Reliable, high-performance vacuum technology not only gets the job done, but also contributes to a better work environment with less noise and fewer emissions. The result is greater well-being and peace of mind – for higher employee productivity and precision in demanding applications.
When it comes to these universal challenges, the new SOGEVAC NEO D rotary vane vacuum pump offers a bundle of advantages. But most of all, it is cleaner, quieter and virtually maintenance-free.

Because good things come in threes!

 

Quieter performance by design

Our designers and engineers went to great lengths to improve the acoustic properties of the rotary vane vacuum pump. And they delivered: the SOGEVAC NEO D sets a new benchmark in perceived noise levels and sound quality. It is 3 dB(A) quieter than competitors’ products on average – for quality that you cannot hear.

• 54 dB(A) for SOGEVAC NEO D 16 & 25

Cleaner technology

The SOGEVAC NEO D features a top-quality exhaust filter inside the oil casing. Built-in filtration reduces the required integration volume of the pump and ensures a clean environment without oil smoke or loss while pumping down. The result is far less oil loss compared to competitors’ pumps without exhaust filtration – up to 100 times less! This innovative design also makes the SOGEVAC NEO D incredibly compact.

Longer running – maintenance-free for up to 3 years

Thanks to cutting-edge shaft seal technology designed exclusively for Leybold, combined with long-life hydrocarbon oils, the SOGEVAC NEO D is built for maximal uptime. The new generation of vacuum pumps permits maintenance-free operation for up to three years in clean applications. “Fit it and forget it” for a new level of performance and convenience.

 

The new revolution in medium vacuum – ideal for all medium vacuum applications

Reliable vacuum is indispensable to numerous applications across a variety of industries. The SOGEVAC NEO D can operate continuously at any inlet pressure and features the same sturdy industrial design as other members of the SOGEVAC series. The latest generation of SOGEVAC rotary vane vacuum pumps is suitable for all dual-stage pump applications.

Performance-boosting accessories for pump monitoring and control

Would you like to benefit from pump control options and receive access to predictive maintenance data? We offer a frequency converter (FC) driven version of the SOGEVAC NEO D in all four pump sizes.

Frequency converter drive (optional):

Black box FC drive enables

• Speed control
• Monitoring (RS485 interface)
• Constant pumping speed independent of mains frequency
• Soft start w/o inrush current
• Even lower noise and vibration levels than a 1-phase motor
• 1-phase power supply 180 … 264 V at 50 & 60 Hz, for all pump sizes!

Pump failure indicator (optional):

Do you need to keep an eye on the status of your pump, even when you are not on site? Our pump failure indicator enables remote monitoring:

1. Oil level
   Indicates a too low oil level
2. Oil temp
   Indicates overheating
3. Exhaust filter condition (back-pressure)
   Indicates that the exhaust filter needs to be changed
