900 m³/h

Plus larger capacities if combined with Roots Boosters

Atm. to 0.005 mbar

Increased productivity and product quality

Industry tested

Specifically designed for chemical applications

Designed for safety and reliability

Stable operation, even during process upsets

Low cost of ownership

Easy maintenance, low utilities consumption and no cooling gas injection required

High throughput processes

When you work in critical applications, you need a reliable pump. The CDX pump is a robust high-performance machine that is highly tolerant to process malfunctions, delivering continuous performance you can rely on, from atmosphere to ultimate vacuum.

Application-specific modules

A range of Edwards’ low-cost pre-engineered modules can help you to meet your specific application needs. Our customised systems include tailored applications support to help you maximise performance in a wide range of process conditions.

Saving you operating costs

Cooled, filtered oil for the bearings and rotor stub shafts avoids carburization and degradation, allowing you to save on costs by increasing mean times between maintenance and extending the overall life of the pump.

Easy to maintain

The CDX is designed to minimise your scheduled downtimes, from line maintenance to overhaul. On-site maintenance and cleaning options include bearing and seal change and cleaning of flame arrestors, with minimal process line disturbance.
