These new Oerlikon Leybold D16BXP Explosion Proof Standard Industrial Series Trivac vacuum pumps include an explosion proof motor and are prepared for operation with standard LVO-100 hydrocarbon vacuum pump oil. These industrial-grade BXP series vacuum pumps are recommended when pumping air, nitrogen, water vapor or other inert or non reactive gasses. These pumps have an excellent ultimate pressure down to 1×10-4 Torr and are commonly used for backing turbomolecular pumps, backing diffusion pumps, refrigeration system evacuation, epoxy degassing, backing mass spectrometers, freeze drying, vacuum centrifugal applications, space research, and other vacuum process applications. These Oerlikon Leybold D16BXP standard industrial series vacuum pumps have a high pumping speed displacement of 13.5 CFM and require 1-Phase 115/220 VAC 60 Hz input power.
These Oerlikon Leybold D16BXP Trivac vacuum pumps can be fitted with a variety of optional accessories. These include the OF (oil filter), AF (exhaust filter oil mist eliminator), and AK (inlet condensate trap). These BXP vacuum pumps are new, typical stocked in inventory, and ship with manufacturers 1-year factory direct warranty. Parts, oil, and all optional accessories for these pumps are located for easy purchase on this website. The complete operating and instructions manual can be downloaded in PDF format below.

These explosion proof BSXP rotary vane vacuum pumps include an electrically sealed explosion proof motor. These explosion-proof motors are designed to limit the chance a spark from inside the motor could travel outward to ignite air born flammable vapors or materials in the laboratory where the pump is operating. Explosion proof vacuum pumps are typically needed in applications where flammable materials may accidentally leak into the room air where these pumps are used. They are typically used in areas where there might be flammable hydrocarbon vapors in small quantities in room air. Explosion Proof vacuum pumps are NOT designed to evacuate vapors and gas mixtures which are explosive if ignited.
When you specify an explosion-proof vacuum pump for a hazardous location or potentially hazardous environments it is important to follow the certifications to the letter. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure electrical wiring for the motor is done by a licensed electrician. We have provided (Hazardous Area Classifications) When the vacuum pump is used to pump flammable gases you must keep a closed air tight system by: .Not opening the gas ballast, opening the gas ballast could cause air (O2) to enter the pump. .Ensuring the foreline inlet and exhaust outlet are leak tight to avoid flammable gas leakage into the atmosphere or air (O2) from entering the pump housing. .Using only an inert gas like Nitrogen (N2) at the gas ballast to purge or dilute harmful gases being pump.
