Short summaryReliable pressure control for consistent distillations. The chemically resistant PTFE diaphragm vacuum pump operates quietly and economically in a space-saving design. Optimally suited to be combined with a Rotavapor® system and the Interface I-300 / I-300 Pro for automated, speed-controlled vacuum operation.
Key facts- Final vacuum: 5 mbar (V-300), 1.5 mbar (V-600)
- Noise level: 32 – 57 dB(A) (V-300), 40 – 64 dB(A) (V-600)
- Vacuum capacity: 1.8 m3/h (V-300), 3.4 m3/h (V-600)
Benefits / Highlights- Convenient: Quiet operation enabled by speed regulation; unattended operation possible when integrated with Interface I-300 / I-300 Pro and level sensor to avoid overflow of the receiving flask.
- Extendable: Plug & play integration with Interface I-300 / I-300 Pro for automated speed control and full integration with Rotavapor® R-300 for automated process control.
- Reliable: High-quality materials for chemical resistance; transparent front inspection window to view condensate and particles and facilitate maintenance.
Features- Save energy: When not connected to the interface, the pump automatically switches to a power savings mode after a set interval, reducing energy consumption and costs.
- Protect yourself and the environment: Use of a secondary condenser prevents solvent vapors from being released into the laboratory atmosphere, especially useful for low-boiling solvents or aggressive vacuum settings.
- Decrease contamination: Speed-control mode (when connected to the interface) holds pressure levels uniformly, minimizing bumping and contamination risk, reduces noise and extends pump lifetime.
- Directly see the condensation status: Transparent inspection window allows direct visual monitoring of condensed solvents or particles to facilitate maintenance.
- Reduce noise levels: Speed-control operation maintains the set vacuum smoothly, resulting in very low noise emissions (down to ~32 dB for V-300).
- Eliminate bumping: Stable pressure control and level monitoring help avoid solvent bumping during distillation.
Applications- Environmental analysis: sample preparation for monitoring environmental pollution (Soxhlet extraction, concentration).
- Food & beverage: QC and development workflows (distillation, concentration, drying).
- Chemical: QC and R&D (concentration, reflux reactions, recrystallization).
- Academia & education: evaporation applications for teaching and labs.
- Feed industry: QC and ingredient development.
- Pharmaceutical: QC and lab-scale formulation (distillation, concentration, drying).
