Connection Guide / The professional connection of laboratory devices

Product catalog summary
Overview
This document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting appropriate connection parts for VACUUBRAND vacuum pumps, tailored to various laboratory applications. It includes detailed specifications, procedures, and recommendations to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
Specifications and Applications
The document details specifications for different types of vacuum pumps, including diaphragm pumps, rotary vane pumps, chemistry-HYBRID pumps, and screw pumps. Each type is suited for specific applications such as freeze drying, vacuum drying ovens, and rotary evaporators. Emphasis is placed on selecting the right pump based on application requirements and media type.
Connection Parts and Procedures
For each application, necessary connection parts such as vacuum tubing, clamping rings, and centering rings are listed with their order numbers. A step-by-step procedure is provided for identifying the correct parts based on the vacuum connection type and laboratory device brand.
Vacuum Control and Maintenance
The guide recommends using the VACUU·SELECT® vacuum controller for precise control, achievable through electromagnetic valve switching or adaptive speed control with VARIO® diaphragm pumps. Benefits include energy savings, reduced wear, and lower noise emissions.
Recommendations and Best Practices
Best practices for maintaining vacuum systems include using condensate separators and emission condensers to protect pumps from condensate and solvent emissions. The use of oil mist filters is advised to prevent indoor air pollution, and connecting the vacuum pump outlet to an exhaust system is recommended to avoid chemical release into ambient air.
Conclusion
The document is a valuable resource for laboratory professionals aiming to optimize their vacuum systems with VACUUBRAND products, providing clear guidance on selecting and installing appropriate connection parts for efficient and reliable operation.
Additional Details
The document also includes technical specifications for specific pumps like the VACUU·PURE 10C screw pump, which has a capacity of 9 m³/h and achieves a vacuum of 5 x 10-3 mbar. Connection examples for various laboratory equipment are outlined, specifying required parts and their order numbers.
Commitment to Quality and Innovation
The company emphasizes continuous innovation, first-class performance, and outstanding quality, with all products engineered and manufactured in Germany. Collaboration with customers is highlighted to find the best solutions for their applications.

Find the right vacuum pump Diaphragm pumps Most chemical applications take place in the rough vacuum range (down to 1 mbar). For such processes, diaphragm pumps are always the best choice. Diaphragm pumps run oil-free, do not consume any water and therefore do not generate either waste water or waste oil. This pump technology is also available in a chemically resistant version. At VACUUBRAND all wetted parts of chemical diaphragm pumps are made of fluoroplastics with excellent chemical resistance. The reliability, durability and ease of mainten ance of the chemistry diaphragm pump make it an...

Find the right vacuum pump Mounting parts Modern diaphragm pumping units have a so-called „condensate separator“ (AK) at the pump inlet, which protects the pump from entrained condensate droplets and solid particles. In addition, an „emission condenser“ (EK) on the exhaust side protects from solvent emissions and enables their efficient recovery. Due to the lower chemical resistance of rotary vane pumps, it may be necessary to install a cold trap in order to catch corrosive chemicals and condensates before they enter the pump inlet. To protect the health of laboratory personnel, oil mist filters...

There is also an „automatic evaporation“ option available for evaporation processes. With just one push of a button, the controller automatically finds the boiling pressure and adjusts it continuously throughout the evaporation process. The process is carried out fully automatically and in the shortest possible time, without the need for constant monitoring and manual intervention. How to find the right vacuum pump The choice of the right vacuum pump depends very much on the application and the type and amount of media used. To make your choice easier, VACUUBRAND has developed a Vacuum Pump Selection...
