The SCROLLVAC 3S plus offers all the benefits of advanced scroll pump technology in a clean, dry, and compact package. Because there is no oil to worry about, the SCROLLVAC 3S plus promises less hassle, less risk, less maintenance, less total cost of ownership, and less environmental impact compared with oil-sealed rotary vane pumps. SCROLLVAC 3/3S plus Small on footprint, big on performance Despite weighing in at just 8 kg, Leybold’s newest SCROLLVAC pump is capable of achieving peak pumping speeds of up to 3 m3/h at 50 Hz (or 3.5 m3/h at 60 Hz) and a typical ultimate vacuum of 0.1 mbar. As such, the SCROLLVAC 3S plus is a very capable alternative to diaphragm pumps. Flexible system design The very small footprint and light weight of the SCROLLVAC 3S plus make it easy to integrate in any system. It is supplied as standard with DN 16 ISO-KF inlet and push-fit exhaust connections along with a mains-driven motor, IEC connection, and on-off switch for easy operation. It can also be mounted either horizontally or vertically, if required, with brackets and base plates available as optional accessories, making it easy to attach the pump to any structure. A top choice for turbos With its superior performance and compact footprint, the SCROLLVAC 3S plus is a great alternative to diaphragm pumps. It is particularly well suited for backing the Leybold TURBOVAC i range of turbomolecular pumps. And with a base plate available as an accessory, it is easy to retrofit for users looking to upgrade existing systems to scroll technology. Effective vapor handling The built-in manual gas ballast on the SCROLLVAC 3S plus is capable of handling a fair amount of water vapor in the pumped gas load, while still maintaining a good ultimate vacuum. Configured for light gas pumping and low vapor load handling, the SCROLLVAC 3S plus can also be fitter with an optional adaptor for inert gases. https://www.leybold.com/en-uk/news/leybold-launches-scrollvac3plus-range-complement

We presented at the Institute for Manufacturing's annual Open Innovation Forum event in Dublin, picking up the prize for highly innovative pitch in the process.

With Industrial Pipes from voestalpine Tubulars, we offer customized solutions for complex technical requirements - with a clear focus on quality, precision and innovation.

Explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres occur in a wide variety of workplaces where fine dust, like aluminium or organic powders, or flammable gases, fumes and hazardous liquids are present. Explosions can cause injuries, damage filter systems, and release contaminated air, posing health risks to workers. Therefore, it is important to select a partner that is experienced in handling these applications and a solution that complies with the latest ATEX and NFPA standards.

As part of BINDT’s ongoing outreach programme, Rebecca Mulholland, Outreach Coordinator, recently had the pleasure of visiting Drayton Park School in Bletchley during its science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) week to deliver a day of STEM engagement centred on non-destructive testing (NDT). Perfectly located near the Red Bull Racing headquarters, Rebecca was also fortunate to be joined by Daryl Shearman, NDT Team Leader at Red Bull Racing. The day kicked off with a whole-school assembly, where pupils aged 4-11 years old were introduced to the fascinating world of NDT. Rebecca and Daryl explained what NDT is, why it matters and how it helps ensure safety and reliability. It was a chance to demystify the subject and show how engineering is not just about building things, but also about making sure they continue to work safely over time. The real excitement began when Rebecca and Daryl joined the two Year 6 classes for a hands-on workshop designed to spark curiosity and plant the seeds for future careers in NDT. Daryl brought an exciting industry perspective to the day, sharing his personal journey into engineering and how he applies NDT techniques to ensure the structural integrity of Formula 1 car components. His talk highlighted the real-world importance of inspection and safety, particularly in high-performance environments such as motorsport. One of the day’s standout moments was Daryl’s live demonstration of ultrasonic testing (UT), using real equipment and test-pieces. The students were fascinated by the ability to ‘see inside’ materials without cutting them open, an eye-opening experience that brought science and technology to life in a tangible, relatable way. Reflecting on the day, Daryl said: “It was a brilliant experience to be involved with as we look to the future with the next generation of NDT engineers."
