BrandTech™ VACUUBRAND™ ME 1 Diaphragm Vacuum Pump
VACUUBRAND™ ME 1 Compact Vacuum Pumps are intended specifically for non-corrosive, non-evaporative applications. They are excellent for laboratory and process-plant applications including gas transfer, backing turbo pumps, and vacuum filtration. All wetted parts of these pumps are made of aluminum, FKM, and polyethylene. Aluminum-FKM pumps should not be used with organic solvents, corrosives, or other vapors inconsistent with the materials of construction.
Product Features:
- No Oil Changes - These vacuum pumps utilize diaphragm vacuum technology. The totally dry operation eliminates the misting, handling and disposal of contaminated waste associated with rotary vane pumps.
- Reduced Maintenance - Typical diaphragm lifetimes are well in excess of 15,000 hours of use before replacement, minimizing downtime and service costs. Unique design eliminates trial-and-error stroke length recalibration during replacement.
- Improved Productivity - VACUUBRAND® pumps are engineered for performance, with flow rates as much as 40% higher at working vacuum level than competitive pumps with similar free air capacity ratings.
-
Reliability - All VACUUBRAND® pumps and systems must pass rigorous product testing before leaving the factory. It's your assurance of a reliable pump.
