Pfeiffer Vacuum as the inventor of the turbopump proves through the type series CompactTurbo its engineering leadership. The entire spectrum of widely differing applications can be covered reliably and in a cost-effective manner. The modular pump designs are available either by way of pure turbopumps or by way of turbopumps with integrated Holweck stages. Whereas classic turbopumps offer advantages in industrial applications involving particle loads and high gas loads, the advantage of the pumps equipped with Holweck stages is the higher start-up pressure with respect to the backing pump thereby reducing system costs and space requirements. In addition, turbopumps of a special design are available for applications involving corrosive gases.

The Pfeiffer Vacuum CompactTurbo series excels through its unique rotor design with a maintenance-free permanent magnetic bearing on the high vacuum side combined with ceramic ball bearings on the forevacuum side.

HiPace stands for a complete line of compact yet powerful turbopumps featuring pumping speeds that range from 10 – 2,000 liters per second. These models afford cost-effective yet flexible installation in any orientation. The proven bearing system affords unrivaled dependability. And their sophisticated rotor design makes for higher pumping speeds, higher backing pump compatibility and higher gas throughputs, as well as very good compression for light gases.
