Coval has introduced its new VX range, adding to its prior CMS HD series of multistage vacuum pumps. The CMS HD VX pumps have a flow rate of up to 1600 NI/min, offer silent operation and reduced air consumption, and are designed for harsh environments. Their modularity aids maintenance operations and they come with an IP65 rating and a service life of 50 million cycles. Improvements to these pumps include a more ergonomic and efficiently communicative user interface. Other features include an IO-link communication interface compliant with IEC 61131-9 and the Coval Vacuum Manager app to make parameterization and diagnostic functions modifiable via mobile devices.
