The Portable Pump Station (PPS) from ORTEC provides a convenient mechanical vacuum pump, Edwards Model RV8, for evacuating detector chambers of many types. This two-stage, rotary-drive pump is fan-cooled, with positive oil feed, wide oil level tolerance, and oil anti-suckback device. The pump may be configured for two pumping modes and three gas ballasting modes to match most requirements. The PPS is shipped completely assembled and filled with oil -- ready to use.

The PPS consists of a cart-mounted, rotary, direct-drive mechanical vacuum pump to which is attached an antibackstreaming trap, a thermocouple vacuum gauge, and flexible tubing with appropriate termination for connecting to the OCTETE-PLUS, 576A, or SOLOIST Alpha Spectrometers, 576-VM multiport manifold, 807 or 808 Vacuum Chambers, or other vacuum chambers or manifolds. Appropriate versions are available for operation at 115 V/50 or 60 Hz and 230 V/50 or 60 Hz.
