Dürr Dentals suction machines combine powerful performance with quiet operation. The construction system allows a wide range of power levels and adds features like separator and amalgam separation to serve all sizes of dental practices.
The operation of the device over the entire opening times of practices requires a long-term durable product that is always performing its duty safely and reliably. This has been realized here in a very compact way: the turbine with side channel compression is mounted on a vertical central axis. The axis is used to host further devices, such as a separator and a collecting device with a container for amalgam particles.
The drive runs smoothly without vibrations and is highly reliable. The aerodynamic turbine wheels and the integrated noise reducer ensure quiet operation. The housing components and high-precision rotor are made from galvanic-coated aluminum and highly corrosion-resistant plastics.
Dürr Dental suction machines are very powerful and they all have a minimum suction volume of 80gal/min, which is the lower limit to prevent the spreading of possibly contaminated aerosols from the fast-rotating devices used for dental treatment. To provide this basic standard device for practices in an economical and service-friendly way, an authentic design was applied, where the striking cooling ribs symbolize the motion of the from the outside not visible turbine. These shape elements are continued up to the top cover, to make its industrial look as uniform as possible.
