Summary
How quiet and efficient are Infinity Series vacuum pumps?
Infinity Series vacuum pumps are built to run whisper-quiet around the InfinityDrive Magnetic Motor, a design inspired by electric vehicle technology. They are up to 7.5x more energy efficient in Idle Mode and up to 2x in operating modes, and they run from 25% to 150% of rated capacity so conveying can be adjusted to the material.

Frequently Asked Questions
What motor does the Infinity Series vacuum pump use?
The Infinity Series uses the InfinityDrive Magnetic Motor, a design inspired by high-performance electric vehicle technology. Novatec credits the motor with the pump’s quiet operation, precision and efficiency, including up to 7.5x better energy efficiency in Idle Mode and up to 2x in operating modes.
Why does a wider operating range matter in a vacuum pump?
The Infinity Series operates across a much larger range, from 25% to 150% of rated capacity. That lets the pump adjust to the specific needs of the material being conveyed, which protects resin from stress and degradation, reduces wear on conveying lines, and keeps the operation running smoothly.
