Vacuubrand has announced that it will be launching the PC series, offering a variety of ultimate vacuum levels and different vacuum control options, at Achema 2009.
The PC 500 NT and PC 600 NT series control the vacuum using conventional two-point control via an in-line solenoid valve.
The PC 600 NT series, with an ultimate vacuum down to 1.5 mbar, is suited for applications with high-boiling-point solvents.
Both series offer the advantage of models capable of simultaneous operation of two separate applications with only one pump.
The PC 3000 Vario series pumping units use frequency controlled pumps to provide fully automatic boiling-point detection by continuously adjusting the volume flow rate to the changing process conditions.
Depending on the pump configuration, an ultimate vacuum down to 0.6 mbar can be achieved.
The new pump models have a compact drive system for quiet and low-vibration operation, and smooth surfaces for easy maintenance and cleaning.
With a flame-resistant plastic housing meeting the requirements for chemical laboratories, these pumps are ideally suited for the range of applications with aggressive gases and solvent vapours found within the laboratory.
