Vacuum Pumps
Optimized for Solar Laminator Application
The GXS 450 and 750 series of dry vacuum pumps from Edwards has been optimized for solar laminator applications. The new GXS series delivers higher throughput and productivity, while at the same time, providing a lower cost of ownership.

The GXS range of pumps incorporate proprietary screw technology and an high-energy drive and enables low cost of ownership. The pumps allow chamber purge speeds of 450 m3/h and 750 m3/h. These latest additions have been optimized to deliver the rapid vacuum performance required for high throughput solar lamination processes. Other features are robust performance, low maintenance requirements, long service intervals and advanced temperature control.
The GXS 450 and 750 pumps provide faster chamber evacuation for enhanced laminator throughput and higher productivity. An optional booster package is also available to further enhance process chamber evacuation times and reduce the lamination cycle time. The closed-loop temperature control prevents pump fouling, and the pumps’ low running power reduces their overall cost of ownership. The absence of oil eliminates the cost of the oil itself, as well as the downtime, labor and disposal costs associated with required oil changes.
The compact size of the pump saves valuable fab floor space and allows the pump to be placed closer to the laminator for simpler installation and more efficient operation.
