Company profile
Levitronix GmbH Taiwan Branch presents LEVITRONIX as the worldwide leader in magnetically levitated Bearingless Motor technology, supplying medical blood pumps to the medical community and ultra-pure fluid handling devices for Microelectronics, Life Science, and Industrial applications. LEVITRONIX's patented technology combines the motor and magnetic bearing into a single unit, with products intended to achieve maximum reliability, long life, and the ability to pump precious fluids in harsh environments. The company offers solutions for applications that require contaminant-free pumping, mixing, or fluid control for extended periods with high reliability. LEVITRONIX is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.
Exhibits
Levitronix® BPS Anti-Static Ultrapure Bearingless Pumps are designed for ultrapure processing of delicate solvents in microelectronics wet applications, using active magnetic levitation so the impeller is suspended and driven by the motor's magnetic field. A wide gap prevents mechanical contact between moving parts, so there are no bearings to wear out or seals to break down, and the absence of mechanical coupling between the impeller and pump-head casing means no wear and therefore virtually no particle generation; conductive wetted material is available in stainless steel or PTFE with carbon-fiber additives. The BPS Anti-Static line provides ESD protection, with particle-size distribution measured downstream of large pump systems at 5gpm and 40 psig. For trace-metal control, the wetted surface area of a Levitronix® pump is several times smaller than that of a pneumatic pump with comparable hydraulic power, and trace-metal contamination is significantly lower than with air-operated pumps. The absence of mechanical bearings, narrow gaps, fissures, and dead zones, together with smooth wetted plastic surfaces, provides a low-shear design for sensitive liquids such as slurry and delicate plating liquids. The open pump-head design, high flow resolution, centrifugal-pump principle, and absence of valves create pulsation-free flow that improves ultrapure-filter performance. Variable speed and high resolution enable precise flow or pressure control over a wide operating range without flow throttling, and BPS pumps maintain smooth flow from a few mlpm up to maximum flow with the highest turndown ratio among competitive pumps. The line has extremely high reliability with Highest MTBF (>200 years), increasing equipment uptime, extending process-equipment life, and reducing maintenance costs because there are no bearings or seals to wear out. The integrated pump-and-motor design and absence of mechanical bearings reduce footprint for confined installations, while magnetic coupling produces virtually no vibration for low-noise operation. BPS pumps support constant data acquisition and condition monitoring for predictive maintenance and factory-wide system integration, and a flow or pressure sensor can be integrated to create a feedback loop for automatic control of process conditions. Levitronix® has more than 25 years of pump experience, and its pumps are established in other demanding industries such as biopharmaceutical production. BPS-200 AS is specified at maximum flow 21 lpm / 5.5 gpm and maximum differential pressure 2.6 bar / 37.7 psi, BPS-600 AS at 75 lpm / 20 gpm and 3.2 bar / 46psi, and BPS-2000 AS at 140 lpm / 37 gpm and 4.2 bar / 61 psi. The lineup also lists BPS-600 ST at maximum flow 75 lpm / 20 gpm and maximum differential pressure 3.1 bar / 45 psi, and BPS-2000 ST at 80 lpm / 21 gpm and 6.2 bar / 90 psi.
