The [Vacuum Pump V-300] has been designed and built as an item of laboratory equipment. Its intended use is the evacuation of laboratory apparatus. This is done by means of a PTFE-diaphragm pump – with or without regulation by a vacuum controller.
PTFE-diaphragm pumps are used primarily for the following applications:
- Evacuating distillation apparatus, in particular rotary evaporators (Rotavapor®)
- Vacuum filtration
- Vacuum-drying cabinets
- Drying kilns
The Vacuum Pump V-300 is intended for evacuating laboratory apparatus to a terminal vacuum of 5 mbar (± 2 mbar). It can be operated either as a standalone device or combined with optional accessories (see Specifications supplied). Once switched on, the Vacuum Pump V-300 runs in continuous mode unless it is connected to the Interface I-300/I-300 Pro unit. In unregulated continuous mode,
the pump runs at a maximum speed of 1500 rpm and generates a terminal vacuum of 5 mbar (± 2 mbar). The time required for evacuation depends on the size (volume) of the vessel.
When operating as a standalone unit, the Vacuum Pump V-300 automatically switches to energy saving mode after 1 hour of operation. In energy saving mode, the Vacuum Pump V-300 runs at 80 % of maximum speed but still generates the same terminal vacuum of 5 mbar (± 2 mbar). After 2 hours of operation, the speed reduces to 50% of maximum while still maintaining the same terminal vacuum.
