Leybold SV 120 BIFC Rotary Vane Oil-Sealed Vacuum Pump 147 m³/h, 200-240V

The Leybold SV 120 BIFC is a precision-engineered *single-stage rotary vane oil-sealed vacuum pump* designed for efficient pumping of inert gases in rough vacuum environments. Delivering a nominal pumping speed of ≥147 m³/h, this pump supports operations from atmospheric pressure down to an ultimate partial pressure of ≤0.2 mbar without gas ballast, making it essential in applications requiring stable and reliable vacuum levels.

Key features include:

• Oil-sealed rotary vane design with an eccentrically mounted rotor and three sliding vanes for optimized gas compression.
• An integrated gas ballast valve to effectively manage condensable vapors, crucial in processes involving water vapor or volatile compounds typical in *biotechnology* and *molecular diagnostics*.
• Anti-suckback valve to prevent oil backflow, preserving vacuum integrity and pump longevity.
• Adjustable motor speed enabled via a frequency converter, allowing fine control suited for diverse laboratory and industrial bioprocessing workflows.
• Operates quietly at noise levels ≤61 dB(A), suitable for controlled lab environments.
• Compatible with ISO VG32 viscosity oils, conforming to industry standards for lubrication and maintenance.
• Protection class IP 20 - F, allowing operation within ambient temperatures of 18°C to 40°C.
• Electrical operation at 200-240V AC, supporting compatibility with international power standards.

This vacuum pump is widely adopted in research fields such as biotechnology, synthetic biology, and molecular biology, where precision vacuum generation is critical for processes like *biomanufacturing*, *gene editing workflows*, and *molecular cloning*. Its robust design and proven capability in pumping inert gases also make it favorable in clinical diagnostics and biomedical engineering laboratories.

With a weight of approximately 118.66 kg and compact shipping dimensions, the Leybold SV 120 BIFC is a reliable choice for laboratory and industrial vacuum applications requiring consistent performance and integration into complex bioprocessing setups.
