The console features four-sided accessability for easy maintenance, and retractable casters for portability. Modular construction of all major components further aids maintainability. All electrical components in the console enclosure are electrically isolated. Plug-in disconnects on electrical components allow a vacuum technician to begin his vacuum service work without the aid of an electrician.
The stainless steel base chamber assembly is mounted directly above the valve/trap for maximum pumping speed and the valve seals upward to ensure vacuum integrity of the mechanism. The base chamber is equipped with horizontally oriented 1.5" metal-sealed feedthrough ports. Access to the feedthroughs is gained by an easily removed skirt. The chamber baseplate is 3.5" above the console top level and is designed to accept bell jars from 18" to 25.5" in diameter.
The bell jar hoist is a smoothly operating electromechanical unit using an industrially rated ball-screw drive. The hoist travels a full 30" to allow maximum access for loading and maintenance work. The bell jar is rotatable 360° on the hoist for cleaning purposes.
