SOGEVAC NEO D 16

The new generation of SOGEVAC vacuum pumps. Triple-hitting vacuum technology for a clean, quiet and long-running performance.

When it comes to these universal challenges, the new SOGEVAC NEO D rotary vane vacuum pump offers a bundle of advantages. But most of all, it is cleaner, quieter and virtually maintenance-free.

Quieter performance by design

Our designers and engineers went to great lengths to improve the acoustic properties of the rotary vane vacuum pump. And they delivered: the SOGEVAC NEO D sets a new benchmark in perceived noise levels and sound quality. It is 3 dB(A) quieter than competitors’ products on average – for quality that you cannot hear.

• 54 dB(A) for SOGEVAC NEO D 16 & 25

Cleaner technology

The SOGEVAC NEO D features a top-quality exhaust filter inside the oil casing. Built-in filtration reduces the required integration volume of the pump and ensures a clean environment without oil smoke or loss while pumping down. The result is far less oil loss compared to competitors’ pumps without exhaust filtration – up to 100 times less! This innovative design also makes the SOGEVAC NEO D incredibly compact.

Longer running – maintenance-free for up to 3 years

Thanks to cutting-edge shaft seal technology designed exclusively for Leybold, combined with long-life hydrocarbon oils, the SOGEVAC NEO D is built for maximal uptime. The new generation of vacuum pumps permits maintenance-free operation for up to three years in clean applications. “Fit it and forget it” for a new level of performance and convenience.

The new revolution in medium vacuum – ideal for all medium vacuum applications

Reliable vacuum is indispensable to numerous applications across a variety of industries. The SOGEVAC NEO D can operate continuously at any inlet pressure and features the same sturdy industrial design as other members of the SOGEVAC series. The latest generation of SOGEVAC rotary vane vacuum pumps is suitable for all dual-stage pump applications.
