Description
The Vacuubrand RC 6 Chemistry-HYBRID Pump is a high-performance vacuum pump that combines a two-stage rotary vane pump with a two-stage chemistry diaphragm pump, delivering superior corrosion resistance compared to conventional rotary vane pumps alone. The integrated diaphragm pump continuously maintains the oil reservoir under vacuum, keeping solvent vapor partial pressures below condensation points and significantly reducing the concentration of oxygen and corrosive gases in the oil. The result is a pump with exceptional solvent vapor handling capability and resistance to aggressive gases, making it well-suited for demanding laboratory chemistry applications including evaporation, concentration, and distillation.
Features:
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: The hybrid design dramatically reduces internal corrosion, even when working continuously with corrosive vapors and aggressive solvents.
- Greatly Reduced Oil Changes: Oil change intervals are typically reduced by 90% or more compared to standard rotary vane pumps, lowering maintenance costs and downtime.
- Cold Trap Often Not Required: The pump’s design minimizes solvent vapor contamination of the oil, making a cold trap unnecessary in many practical applications.
- Easy Maintenance — Telescopic Design: The telescopic pump construction simplifies disassembly and servicing, reducing the time and effort required for routine maintenance.
- Deep Ultimate Vacuum: Achieves an ultimate partial vacuum of 4 × 10⁻⁴ mbar (without gas ballast), suitable for fine vacuum applications.
- High Pumping Speed: Delivers a maximum pumping speed of 5.9 m³/h at 50 Hz and 4.1 CFM at 60 Hz for efficient evacuation.
- KF DN 16 Inlet Connection: Standard KF16 inlet with PTFE-antistatic tubing for easy integration into existing vacuum systems.
