Miniature "Chip" Vacuum Pumps

EDCO Vacuum Chip Pumps were named after electronic circuit chips whose small size and versatility have made modern products more efficient, compact, and affordable. Our low-cost Chip pumps will do the same things for your vacuum systems.

Chip pumps provide the performance you would expect from a multi-stage multi-ejector air powered vacuum pump. To increase pump capacity, we simply increase the number of ejector nozzle sets or add another pump module to the assembly stack.

Our standard seal and valve elastomer is nitrile, but we also offer Viton and E.P.R. seal materials at reasonable costs. To make your system easier to design and install, we offer non-return valves and direct mounted electronic sensors.

EDCO Chip pumps are offered with four standard base configurations plus a “Z” option for no base at all, which allows a designer complete freedom to integrate a Chip pump module into a proprietary assembly. However, it is more common to select an EDCO vacuum pump having one of the four standard bases, depending on which one best suits the particular application. EDCO USA will design and manufacture custom bases and pump assemblies for OEM’s that have special needs that are not satisfied by our standard products.

We have selected 40% glass-filled Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS, Ryton) for its extremely high strength, light weight and chemical resistance. The pump body, ejector nozzles and “A” and “B” bases are all made of PPS to eliminate chemical

Compatibility problems caused when different materials are used for parts within the same vacuum pump. Our “C” and “D” bases are made of anodized aluminum for those applications requiring maximum ruggedness or a larger capacity vacuum pump. Fasteners are 304 series stainless steel.

When comparing our Chip pumps to "Brand P" please conduct your own tests because their catalog performance data is grossly exaggerated and inaccurate. EDCO Chip pumps will test out the same as, or better than, "Brand P" but we choose to publish accurate, and repeatable performance data rather than use sales puffery to describe our value-filled product.
