The PC 3001 VARIO select pumping unit is a highly advanced, oil-free vacuum system designed for precise control of vacuum levels in laboratory applications. It is ideal for use with high-boiling point solvents and ensures optimal process control through its integrated VACUUSELECT controller. Here are the key features and advantages of this exceptional pump system:

Key Features:

• Precise Vacuum Control: The VACUUSELECT controller allows for easy, application-based interface control. It supports manual set-point control, automated distillations, and custom applications via simple drag-and-drop editing.
• Automatic Evaporation Control: The controller detects solvent boiling and automatically adjusts the pump motor speed to maintain process stability. This minimizes bumping and foaming, making it safer for sensitive samples.
• Efficient Motor Speed Control: The VARIO motor speed control keeps the system whisper quiet while ensuring exceptional performance. It also significantly extends maintenance intervals.
• Free Air Capacity: With a 1.2 cfm (34 L/min) free air capacity, the system is perfect for use with benchtop rotary evaporators and can handle varying vapor conditions.
• Oil-Free and Eco-Friendly: The pump operates without oil, offering a cleaner, more environmentally friendly solution with minimal energy consumption.
• Corrosion-Resistant Flow Path: The corrosion-resistant construction ensures that the pump can handle a wide range of chemicals and solvents, even high-boiling point ones.
• Long Operating Life: With a service interval of 10,000 to 15,000 hours, the pump is built to last, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
• Integrated Solvent Recovery System: The system captures exhaust vapors without requiring cold traps or chillers, saving on additional equipment and energy costs. It also reduces lab exposure to hazardous vapors.
• Exhaust Vapor Condenser: With a chilled water line or recirculating chiller, the condenser recycles solvents, making the process more economical and environmentally friendly.
• Robust Inlet Separator: The glass inlet separator, with a protective coating, prevents damage by blocking particles and liquid droplets from entering the pump.

Performance and Control:

• Automatic Boiling Point Detection: The VACUUSELECT controller automatically detects the boiling point and optimizes the vacuum level for faster process times—up to 30% faster than conventional pumps and controllers.
• User-Friendly Interface: The graphic interface with a “turn-and-push” jog wheel makes it easy to manually adjust the vacuum levels.
• Customizable Programs: Save up to 10 user-defined multi-step programs, ideal for standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• RS-232 Port: Allows for computer control of pump settings, program adjustments, and process validation.

Additional Advantages:

• Eco-Friendly: The system is designed for minimal energy consumption and efficient solvent recovery, making it a more sustainable choice for labs.
• Quiet and Low Vibration: Operates quietly with minimal vibration, ensuring a comfortable lab environment.
• Certifications: C/US and CE marked, ensuring the product meets the highest safety and quality standards.

Warranty:

• 2+1 Year Warranty: Register your pump for an extended warranty for added peace of mind.

The PC 3001 VARIO select pumping unit is an ideal solution for labs requiring precise, eco-friendly, and efficient solvent evaporation, with integrated solvent recovery and exceptional control over the entire vacuum process.
