PC 3001 VARIOpro - Intelligent vacuum for optimizing efficiency and energy-saving

Evaporations under vacuum conditions in the lab: Where there is a risk of foaming or boiling retardation of the solvent, vacuum control is essential. The controlling of vacuum with variable motor speed is nowadays established as the technical standard in modern laboratories. For this VACUUBRAND''s chemistry pumping unit PC 3001 VARIOpro provides a user-friendly and complete solution for all makes of rotary evaporator. The heart of this compact pumping unit is a chemical-resistant diaphragm pump with an ultimate vacuum of 2 mbar, so perfect for use with high-boiling solvents.

Even with open gas ballast valve, the pump still achieves an impressive 4mbar (enough for evaporating high boiling point solvents), whilst also preventing internal condensation.

Due to its highly developed drive system, the VARIO® pump is both extremely energy-efficient and whisper-quiet. Energy savings of up to 90% are achievable against comparable fixed drive pumps.

A unique feature of the VARIO® pump is its fully automatic evaporation function via the integrated vacuum controller CVC 3000: In automatic mode the pumping unit can be operated together with a rotary evaporator without supervision by the lab staff and without any subsequent need for manual adjustments at the controller. Every vapor pressure change is detected immediately and the vacuum is adapted automatically. The controller maintains the evaporation in perfect equilibrium at all time, thus typically shortening the process time by more than 30% compared to conventional systems. Since the evaporation takes place without the keying in of any parameters, this is classified as real fully automatic vacuum control.

A new accessory is a web-based remote control VACUU•CONTROL™ that enables monitoring and controlling of the pumping unit from anywhere via smartphone, tablet or computer.
