One such vacuum pump manufacturer approached Technetics Group for a casing seal solution for its semiconductor vacuum pump. The seal was necessary to prevent air leakage into the vacuum chamber.
The manufacturer’s vacuum pump was already high-performing, thanks to its unique rotor and stator that provides superior vacuum performance. Its intelligent design also reduces noise levels, minimizing operator fatigue. Additionally, the all-metal construction ensures long-lasting and reliable operation.
Despite these features, the manufacturer required a sealing solution that could meet the lower leak rate of 10-6 mbar.l/second and was still high-performing, efficient, reliable, and durable, even at a vacuum casing temperature of 200 °C.By collaborating with the client’s UK Engineering team, Technetics Group successfully designed the sealing system for the semiconductor vacuum pump. As a result of the partnership, the Technetics seal was incorporated into the manufacturing process in Korea.
Using the Technetics HELICOFLEX® solution, the client’s pump is able to maintain a consistent vacuum pressure, preventing catastrophic environmental contamination in the chamber. The seal also reduces wear and tear on the vacuum pump components, thus extending the pump’s life.
Having experienced the efficiency and reliability of Technetics’ seals through the prototype order, the client is now eagerly receiving regular manufacturing shipments. The patented design of the HELICOFLEX® seal provides the utmost consistency in bulk orders.
In terms of the long lifetime value of vacuum sealing, Technetics sets the industry standard. Its metal seals are innovative, durable, and long-lasting, surpassing the average rubber o-ring.
