The KNF SC920 Series vacuum pump system for laboratory processing applications, from KNF Neuberger Inc, is exclusively equipped for wireless remote control of all pump operating modes and functions.
The wireless technology maximizes pump system flexibility and saves valuable space by allowing the system to be located away from process equipment without requiring obstructive cabling. Users ultimately benefit from the system’s fast and precise processing, extremely quiet operation, and easy regulation of all vacuums from afar using the remote.
This system notably can help minimize energy consumption and costs with the capability to perform with the fume hood sash partially or fully closed. This results in dramatically less airflow in the hood and reduced need for lab air-conditioning or heating that otherwise would be necessary.
All process parameters can be entered and adjusted using the system’s portable Bluetooth-enabled handheld terminal integrating user-friendly touch screen, rotation knob, and intuitive user guide. Supported operating modes include vessel evacuation with adjustable pump capacity, constant pressure control managed precisely to selected values, automatic detection of a sample’s vapor pressure, and intelligent regulation of process pressure.
The pump’s patented diaphragm stabilization system serves to develop high suction speeds, even at low pressures, and the system can be used with all models of rotary evaporators. Flow rates up to 20 l/min (at atmospheric pressure) and ultimate vacuum of 1.5 Torr (2 mbar) absolute can be achieved.
