Leybold Sogevac SV120BIFC Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump with Integrated Frequency Converter

The Leybold Sogevac SV120BIFC is a precision-engineered rotary vane vacuum pump designed for demanding laboratory and industrial applications, including molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology workflows requiring reliable vacuum control. This model features an oil-sealed, single-stage pumping mechanism with a pumping speed range of 110–120 m³/h at 50/60 Hz and achieves an ultimate pressure of 0.137 mbar without gas ballast.

Key technical features include:

• Integrated Frequency Converter enabling variable speed control for precise vacuum regulation and energy efficiency across different power grid frequencies
• RS 485 communication interface allowing for remote operation and integration into automated biomanufacturing or molecular biology instrument systems
• A gas ballast valve designed to handle condensable vapors such as water vapor, essential for live-cell imaging setups and fluorescence analysis requiring vapor management
• An anti-suckback system preventing backward oil contamination, ensuring pump longevity and maintenance efficiency
• High-efficiency exhaust filtration achieving oil mist emission below 1 ppm, critical for contamination-sensitive applications in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics
• Operates on a single-phase 200-240V, 50/60 Hz power supply with a motor rating of 2.2 kW, balancing power and noise reduction

Weighing 109.95 kg with compact dimensions (88.39 cm x 45.72 cm x 57.91 cm), the Sogevac SV120BIFC model supports robust vacuum requirements in gene editing laboratories, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and various research fields demanding stable vacuum environments. Its versatile design and remote controllability make it widely adopted in synthetic biology research and critical in bioprocessing setups where precise vacuum control enhances experimental reproducibility.
