Description
This used Vacuubrand PC3001 VarioPro from 2015 was purchased from a biochemical/medical laboratory which had to close down. The vacuum pumping unit was in operation until closure of the laboratory. Thereafter, the pump was shipped to us, tested in our laboratory and found to be in good condition. The costprice of a new similar vacuumpump is about € 4850.
The offered used Vacuubrand PC3001 VarioPro is a very compact chemistry pumping unit and is an excellent solution when working with high boiling solvents. It has outstanding chemical resistance and superior vapor tolerance, high flow rate even at low vacuum and excellent ultimate vacuum even with gas ballast. This chemistry pumping unit optimizes vacuum conditions automatically by precisely and continuously adjusting the diaphragm pumps motor speed. Thanks to the motor speed control the pump operates only when vacuum is needed, saving energy and reducing maintenance. The integrated vacuum controller enables fully automatic evaporation at a push of a button. Low space requirements, light weight and low operational noise contribute further to this unit’s flexibility and popularity for laboratory use. Typical applications are vacuum generation for rotary evaporators, vacuum concentrators and filtrations. With the continuously variable jog wheel, the pumping speed is manually adjustable to the process requirements. Furthermore, the inlet separator, made of glass with a protective coating, prevents droplets and particles from entering the pump.
Specifications:
