The Laboratory Pumps and Compressors category supports laboratories that need to remove air or vapour, lower pressure and support filtration, evaporation, drying, aspiration and gas-transfer processes. The range spans routine bench requirements and more specialised applications where material choice, control and repeatability become especially important.
Pump technology, chemical resistance and ultimate vacuum must suit the application, otherwise performance can fall quickly or vapours can damage the system. The practical choice therefore depends on connections and maintenance, ultimate vacuum, pumping speed, and chemical resistance, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
A complete vacuum path links the pump with compatible tubing, traps, valves, controllers and exhaust handling selected for the vapours and pressure range. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in chemistry, filtration, freeze drying, rotary evaporation, sample preparation and analytical laboratories. As part of the Vacuum Pumps & Drying Equipment for Labs range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Pumps and Compressors range
Our collection covers benefits of a screw pump over a diaphragm pump, monitoring the performance of vacuum pumps and compressors digitally, when special equipment to move these large pumps, and the vacuu·pure 10c handle corrosive vapours, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
Benefits of a screw pump over a diaphragm pump
Screw pumps like the VACUU·PURE series provide a completely dry, oil-free vacuum without wear parts in the flow path, allowing for higher flow rates and deeper vacuum levels without maintenance intervals. Before ordering, compare connections and maintenance, ultimate vacuum, and pumping speed. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. In practice, this supports efforts to maintain stable pressure conditions while protecting the pump and surrounding laboratory. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
Monitoring the performance of vacuum pumps and compressors digitally
By using the VACUU·BUS communication kit, you can connect your Vacuubrand pump to a computer via USB for precise monitoring and digital process control. For routine and specialised work, assess ultimate vacuum, pumping speed, and chemical resistance. Matching these points early helps avoid adapters, consumables or operating limitations being discovered after purchase. In practice, this supports efforts to maintain stable pressure conditions while protecting the pump and surrounding laboratory. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
When special equipment to move these large pumps
Because screw pumps can be heavy, utilizing a dedicated mobile base like the VACUU·PURE Shuttle is recommended to safely and easily move the unit between different laboratory stations. Selection should take account of pumping speed, chemical resistance, and vapour load. It is also worth checking cleaning, replacement and storage requirements before the item becomes part of a routine procedure. In practice, this supports efforts to maintain stable pressure conditions while protecting the pump and surrounding laboratory. It also gives staff a clearer and more repeatable procedure when multiple users or shifts share the same equipment.
The VACUU·PURE 10C handle corrosive vapours
The "C" in 10C stands for chemically resistant; these units are specifically engineered to withstand aggressive laboratory gases and vapours. Key differences are usually found in chemical resistance, vapour load, and control method. These details affect day-to-day usability as much as the main performance specification. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories maintain stable pressure conditions while protecting the pump and surrounding laboratory. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.
