In 1905 the principle of the scroll compressor was developed by the Frenchman Leon Creux. The scroll pump is now being used as an oil-free vacuum pump. Every scroll pump consists of two Archimedes spirals engaging each other with an offset of 180°. Thus several crescent-shaped pockets of differing sizes are created. By means of an eccentric drive, a second spiral is made to orbit about a fixed spiral, thus reducing the volume of the pockets and compressing gases from the outside towards the inside thereby pumping the gases.
Important to the quality of a scroll pump is that precise manufacturing tolerances are maintained and that suitable materials are selected.

Maintenance Intervals In order to maintain the performance of the pump, a standard maintenance is required after a certain number of operating hours. For this we are offering complete maintenance kits
Small maintenance kit (Minor Kit) after 8,000 h or at latest after an operating time of 12 months
Large maintenance kit (Major Kit) after 16,000 hours or at latest after an operating time of 24 months
Warranty Upon signing a warranty contract, we will grant a two-year warranty for faulty material when complying with the required maintenance intervals. Excluded are wearing parts as well as well wear due to the process.
