Laboratory vacuum pump PC 3001 VARIO® select TE

for rotary evaporatorsdiaphragmoil-free

Overview

• Dry ice condenser at the pump exhaust — no cooling water connection required
• VACUU·SELECT vacuum controller with graphic UI and predefined applications for common lab workflows
• Automatic boiling point detection and continuous vacuum optimisation for fast, controlled solvent evaporation
• Compact, low-noise VARIO motor speed control for extended maintenance intervals
• Oil-free chemically resistant diaphragm pump technology with glass inlet separator

Product description
The PC 3001 VARIO select TE is a chemistry diaphragm pumping unit that precisely controls vacuum via VARIO motor speed regulation. It is designed for applications with high-boiling solvents and integrates the VACUU·SELECT controller to run manual set-points, fully automated distillations or custom workflows via drag-and-drop. During solvent evaporation the controller detects boiling and automatically adjusts speed to maintain the target vacuum. The inlet separator is glass with a protective coating to retain particles and droplets. The TE configuration includes a dry ice condenser at the exhaust, removing the need for a cooling water connection.

Key features

• VACUU·SELECT vacuum controller (graphic UI, predefined and user-defined workflows)
• Automatic boiling point detection and VARIO motor speed regulation for process control
• Glass inlet separator with protective coating
• Dry ice condenser at exhaust (no cooling water required)
• Oil-free, chemically resistant diaphragm pump principle
