Medical engineering
Medical engineering companies see themselves confronted by the following challenges
- Very high safety requirements and absolute reliability
- High requirements in terms of market approvals and certifications
- Customer- and application-specific developments
- Suppliers with many years of proven ability to supply replacement parts or derivative products with the same technological compatibility
We support your company with innovative, application- and customer-specific products for use in both smaller apparatus and in large medical devices and systems.
Vacuum pumps and vacuum systems
Application examples
- Sterilisation with devices ranging from small table-top sterilisers through to large clinical sterilisers
- Sterilisation with laboratory and industrial autoclaves
- Suction of saliva in dental surgeries
Application ranges
- Gases and vapours up to +135 °C
- Suction pressures up to 33 mbar abs. (5 mbar abs. with gas ejector)
- Suction capacity from 2.5 to 1600 m³/h
Our products
- Compact, plug-and-play vacuum systems which are mechanically ready to connect with additional integrated components such as separator tanks, heat exchangers or condensers (UniVac model series)
- Quiet vacuum pumps (model series VZ) or water-saving vacuum pumps (model series VI)
- Regulated systems for maintaining a constant pressure level at all times during the suction of saliva in continuous suction operation (model series VA)
Liquid pumps
Application examples
- Cooling of X-ray tubes (such as for computed tomography, C-arm systems)
- Cooling of medical lasers
- Circulation of heating for liquid fertilisers
Application ranges
- Oils in the range up to 95 °C
- Water up to 95 °C
- Mineral and synthetic thermal oils, silicon oils
- Water/glycol mixtures, Galden®, de-mineralised water, cooling brine
- Gravitational forces of up to 100 G (computed tomography)
Process-related requirements
- Small dimensions
- Smart and reliable drive technology such as brushless EC motors
- Safe in operation and reliable:
Wear-free, magnetically coupled systems
Tailored components and materials - Robust SiC bearings
Balanced rotors or impellers with very smooth running
