Fully integrated, oil-free vacuum pump and controller ideal for use with a rotary evaporator for stripping solvents with boiling points of 160°C (320°F) or higher, such as DMF, or low boiling point solvents such as methylene chloride

The system's two-stage, flexible diaphragm pump is equipped with fluorinated plastics on all wetted surfaces to resist chemical vapors. The system's intuitive design incorporates a numeric keypad and electronic variable control valve for precise/reproducible vacuum control with programmable dual set-points, timer, memory, repeat, and anti-bumping functions. The one-touch anti-bumping/foaming button is especially useful when pumping low boiling point solvents to minimize foaming or bumping within the flask. The corrosion resistant and oil-free PTFE diaphragm pump and self-cleaning purge automatically run for two minutes at shutdown to rid the pump of residue. This ensures longer diaphragm service life and reduced downtime by cleaning the pump when the process is finished.
