Built for Your Process: How the EDP Dry Pump Delivers Tailored Reliability for the Chemical Industry
NORTH AMERICA | 26 July 2025 | 5 min
“One size fits all never fits anyone well.”
At Edwards, we’ve learned that the most reliable vacuum systems aren’t the most universal—they’re the most intentional. That’s why our EDP Chemical Dry Vacuum Pump isn’t just engineered for chemical applications—it’s engineered for your chemical process.
Whether you're managing corrosive solvents, flammable gases, or delicate distillation, we work closely with our customers in the chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries to deliver vacuum systems that are precisely matched to their process needs—enhancing safety, reliability, and long-term performance.
Tailored Performance for Your Application
From corrosive gases to flammable compounds, every chemical application has unique needs—and risks. That’s why we don’t just supply a pump; we deliver a customized solution. Our team works with you to design a system that precisely fits your process parameters. By using pre-engineered modules combined with advanced CAD capabilities, we build out a vacuum system that aligns with your goals today and can adapt for tomorrow.
Need a booster pump? Solvent purging? Flame arrestors? No problem. We help you configure the right accessories—from silencers and receivers to control panels and cooling loops—so your system is both optimized and future-proofed.
Built with Safety in Every Detail
Process safety isn’t an add-on for us—it’s at the core of the EDP’s design.
This pump has been dynamically explosion tested and certified by independent authorities. Each unit is leak-checked to 10⁻³ mbar l/s and pressure-tested up to 75 barg, providing confidence in even the most volatile environments. Plus, the non-brittle ductile iron construction and over-temperature protection mean you’re operating with technology that takes safety seriously—because so do we.
Consistent Performance. Minimal Downtime.
Vacuum is a critical utility in your process. Downtime affects productivity, yield, and safety. That’s why the EDP chemical dry pump is expertly designed for long life, reliability, and reduced maintenance; boasting up to one year of unattended operation and an impressive three years between strip-downs.
Consistent, Reliable Operation You Can Count On
In the chemical process world, downtime isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive and potentially dangerous. That’s why the EDP dry pump is designed for long life and minimal maintenance:
- One year of unattended operation
- Three years between strip-downs
- Built to last 25 years
And because of our unique reverse claw mechanism, you’re getting a pump that’s oil-free, non-contacting, and engineered for clean, stable, and consistent vacuum performance.
Why the Industry Chooses Edwards
Today, many of the leading names in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries rely on the EDP. From small-batch operations to global production facilities, our solutions are trusted for one reason: we build them around you.
So if you're looking for a vacuum pump that isn't just built to spec—but built to support your entire process—we’re here to help.
