Leybold ECODRY 65 He plus Dry Multistage Roots Vacuum Pump
The ECODRY 65 He plus is a dry multistage Roots pump for helium-3 and helium-4 recovery and recirculation. It combines enhanced leak tightness with up to 52 m³/h helium pumping speed. Its 55 m³/h maximum air pumping speed is a separate rating; specify the gas and working pressure when comparing recovery systems.

The ECODRY 65 He plus is a dry multistage Roots pump for helium-3 and helium-4 recovery and recirculation. It combines enhanced leak tightness with up to 52 m³/h helium pumping speed. Its 55 m³/h maximum air pumping speed is a separate rating; specify the gas and working pressure when comparing recovery systems.
The He version is selected for gas retention as well as flow. Leybold specifies a total helium leak rate below 5 × 10⁻⁸ mbar·l/s using ISO 20485 procedure A.1; the standard version’s local test uses a different procedure and is not directly interchangeable.

Pressure and speed refer to the pump, not guaranteed chamber performance. The 40/65 platform has different pressure, connection and electrical ratings from ECODRY 25/35 plus.
UK supply and included equipment
For a UK 230 V installation, specify the 200–240 V version. The mains cable is ordered separately: Leybold lists 161810UK, BS1363 to IEC C19, 2 m. The pump has an IEC C20 inlet; confirm circuit protection and the selected nameplate rating.
The manual lists two centring rings, two clamping rings, two blank flanges and the D-sub 9-pin bridge connector for manual operation in the supplied equipment. Interface cables, inlet screens and mounting accessories require separate selection.
Gas handling and control
The 65 He plus has no gas-ballast valve and is not suitable for condensing gases. Provide helium purity, recovery pressure, leak budget and return-line requirements. Recovery of other gases requires application review.
Local start/stop, the X1 control interface and the X104 RS485 interface support equipment integration. Specify the intended control method and cables. The dry pumping chamber has no process oil; bearings and gears use PFPE lubrication.
The manual excludes short-cycle pumping with high repetition rates. Above 2000 m installation altitude, inlet pressure should not permanently exceed 50 mbar. Allow unobstructed cooling airflow and service access.
Documented configuration examples
These references identify specific builds for an enquiry. This model-level listing has no single manufacturer part number; confirm the selected build and current availability with Girovac.
Specification source: 300758785_002_C3, January 2026, pages 12–15, 17–22 and 37; 3610 0161 02, February 2026. Match the document revision to the pump supplied.
For turbo backing, compare the TURBOVAC i / iX range. A standalone backing pump does not imply compatibility with a preconfigured TURBOLAB station.
For an ECODRY 65 He plus quotation, send chamber volume, target pressure, gas and vapour composition, continuous throughput, pump-down time, cycle frequency, inlet and exhaust connections, electrical supply and quantity. Include control, filtration and installation-space requirements. Girovac will confirm the configuration, included equipment, price and delivery.
Confirm the exact version, electrical supply and connections. Ask whether oil, filters, fittings, cables or controllers are included or separately specified.
Availability, lead time and the applicable warranty are confirmed for your quotation. A catalogue listing does not reserve stock.
