Edwards E2M18

This Edwards E2M18 is a used rotary vane vacuum pump that has been removed from service after supporting laboratory or industrial vacuum applications. It is a compact two-stage pump built for dependable rough vacuum generation, commonly used with freeze dryers, vacuum ovens, leak detectors, and general process vacuum systems. The unit reflects normal wear from prior operation and is offered as a functional pre-owned pump for buyers seeking a cost effective replacement. The E2M18 delivers steady pumping speed and low ultimate pressure typical of the Edwards two-stage rotary vane series, making it a workhorse for both laboratory and light industrial vacuum needs. Its rugged construction and oil-sealed design allow it to handle continuous duty cycles while maintaining consistent performance across a range of gas loads. These pumps are widely valued for their simple maintenance requirements and long service life when properly cared for. This used E2M18 is suitable for facilities needing to support processes such as vacuum distillation, degassing, or general backing pump duties on larger vacuum systems. Buyers should plan on inspecting oil levels and seals prior to return to service. It is sold as-is from a working environment and represents a practical option for labs or shops wanting to add reliable rotary vane vacuum capacity without paying for new equipment.
