Founded in 1939, Italvacuum since the beginning of its history has manufactured vacuum groups and vacuum dryers for the main production processes of chemical, fine chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
Italvacuum recently introduced on the market its range of vacuum groups Saurus939, which distinguish themselves for the simple design and the use of innovative technical solutions, as the new lubrication system LubriZero®.
The LubriZero® system consists of new materials in Teflon with special charges that, beside being resistant to corrosion, do not require any lubrication. This almost set to zero the consumption of the non-reusable oil in the Italvacuum vacuum groups, also allowing the use of synthetic FDA approved oils, ensuring a full protection for the process.
Moreover the metered injection of fresh oil in minimal quantity ensures an effective barrier to the aggression of solvents, even to the most aggressive ones, whose vapours can be intaken by vacuum groups Saurus939 without problems and without the need of using very expensive materials like Hastelloy or special coatings like Halar C22, as on the contrary it happens with dry pumps.
Vacuum groups Saurus939 are particularly suitable for the processes of drying, distillation, reaction and crystallization where they ensure:
- absolute safety for the the operators
- extreme operating simplicity 24 h a day
- complete reliability even with difficult operative conditions
- low noise
- very limited operative costs
- simple and cheap maintenance
- incomparable performances
• nominal capacity from 80 to 3800 m3/h
• vacuum levels from 7 to 0,03 mbar. |

Another significant strenght of Italvacuum pumps is the total safety for the process. A recent analysis of the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering from the Turin Polytechnic has in fact certified the purity of the product dried with the use of Saurus939 vacuum group without any risk of oil contamination.

MODELS
Vacuum groups Saurus939 include single stage and double stage models. Double stage models are also available:
- with one or two compressor roots in order to increase the pump rotation speed and reach lower final pressures (high vacuum levels)
- in skid version equipped with all the pump fittings.
ATEX CERTIFICATION
In standard version vacuum group Saurus939 is marked as CE Ex II 2 G T4 and is suitable in all areas classified as Zone 1 – Gas and temperature class T4 (135°C).
In special version vacuum group Saurus939 is suitable for Zone “0” INTERNAL - GAS, ZONE “1” EXTERNAL - GAS with three different classes of temperature T4 (135°C)/ T150°C / T3 (200°C), depending on operation conditions.
