The Leybold NOVADRY ND 200 is a high-capacity, 100% oil-free dry screw vacuum pump specifically designed for demanding food processing and packaging applications where vacuum contamination, moisture and process ingredients can make conventional oil-sealed pumps costly and unreliable.

Delivering up to 175 m³/h of pumping speed with an ultimate pressure of 0.1 mbar, the ND 200 provides fast, consistent vacuum performance for high-cycle production equipment. The 230/460 V, 60 Hz, three-phase configuration uses a 4 kW motor and air cooling, eliminating vacuum oil and the associated oil changes, oil disposal and risk of oil contamination.

Unlike conventional rotary vane pumps, the NOVADRY is designed to handle the realities of food-processing applications, including water vapour, droplets, organic acids and process particles. Its robust dry-screw technology, self-draining design and optimized belt-drive system provide excellent resistance to process contamination while maintaining consistent performance over the operating-pressure range.

The ND 200 is particularly well suited to vacuum tumblers, thermoforming machines, vacuum packaging systems, stuffers, meat-processing equipment and other food-production machinery where the vacuum pump is repeatedly exposed to moisture, oils, marinades and food-related vapours.

For applications where hygiene and washdown are critical, an optional stainless-steel hygienic enclosure is available to protect the pump during regular cleaning operations.

With reduced maintenance requirements, air cooling, oil-free operation and a design optimized for high-cycle food-production equipment, the NOVADRY ND 200 can significantly reduce the maintenance burden associated with conventional oil-sealed vacuum pumps while improving process cleanliness and production uptime.

The NOVADRY ND 200 isn't just a dry vacuum pump—it is a food-production vacuum pump designed to handle the moisture, contamination and demanding cycle times that destroy conventional oil-sealed pumps.
