Edwards E2M18FX Two Stage Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump – 12.1 CFM PFPE Prepared (A36325984)
The Edwards E2M18FX (part number A36325984) is a robust two-stage oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pump from the proven EM series, specially PFPE prepared (FX version) for use with corrosive and aggressive chemical vapors. Designed for demanding laboratory and light industrial applications, it delivers reliable high pumping speeds, excellent ultimate vacuum, and superior chemical resistance when paired with PFPE oils such as Fomblin® or Krytox®.
This direct-drive pump is an ideal choice for processes involving aggressive gases, solvents, or reactive compounds where standard hydrocarbon oils would degrade quickly. Typical applications include chemical processing, semiconductor work, mass spectrometry, vacuum drying, leak detection, and other harsh vacuum environments that require deeper vacuum levels and enhanced material compatibility.
Key Features and Benefits
- Two-stage rotary vane design for superior ultimate vacuum and excellent vapor tolerance
-
PFPE prepared (FX version) — compatible with inert PFPE oils for handling corrosive and aggressive vapors
- Quiet operation at 57 dB(A) — suitable for laboratory settings
- High pumping speed of 12.1 CFM (20.4 m³/h) at 60 Hz
- Dual-voltage single-phase motor (115/200-230V, 50/60 Hz) with IEC60320 connector (factory configured for easy setup)
- Advanced pressurized lubrication system for long service life and reliability
- Gas ballast control for improved handling of condensable vapors
- Thermal overload protection with automatic reset
- NW25 inlet flange for simple system integration
- Compact freestanding design with flexible mounting options
