Vacuum Pumps, Vacuum Pump Systems, and Vacuum Gauges

BrandTech^® Scientific is the US and Canadian distributor for the VACUUBRAND^® line of vacuum equipment from Germany through laboratory supply dealers. (See dealer list) VACUUBRAND^® has been recognized globally as the leader in oil-free diaphragm vacuum pump technology for twenty years. OEM versions of VACUUBRAND^® vacuum pumps can be found in many well-known research instruments and laboratory products worldwide.

VACUUBRAND^® diaphragm pumps can be divided into two general categories: vacuum pumps of aluminum/FKM construction, for non-corrosive applications; and oil-free "chemistry-design" vacuum pumps constructed with fluoropolymers, for use for chemistry applications.

VACUUBRAND^® offers its chemistry-design vacuum pumps in a comprehensive line that ranges from stand alone dry pumps, through vacuum pumping systems with electronic controllers, to VACUU-LAN^® vacuum local-area networks. VACUUBRAND^® pumps and pumping systems are well-suited for typical lab applications including rotary evaporation, centrifugal concentration, vacuum filtration, gel drying, vacuum drying, freeze drying.

For vacuum applications in the fine vacuum range (1 mbar/torr to 10^-3 mbar/torr), VACUUBRAND^® has recently redesigned their rotary vane vacuum line with the new XS series of rotary vane vacuum pumps, specifically designed for laboratory applications. For applications in the fine vacuum range with reduced maintenance, we also have the RC6 chemistry-HYBRID vacuum pump that combines rotary vane and diaphragm pump technologies.

VACUUBRAND^® also has a line of mercury-free vacuum gauges and controllers that feature an innovative combination analog and digital display for easy monitoring of vacuum conditions. BrandTech^® is proud to make these vacuum pumps, systems, gauges and controllers available to North America. Service kits for OEM vacuum pumps are available from BrandTech^® as well, at competitive prices. BrandTech^® also carries traditional oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pumps, roots pumps and hybrid pumps. Contact BrandTech^® for details.

Oil Free Chemistry Design Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps

Designed with your applications in mind, high performance VACUUBRAND^® chemistry-design diaphragm pumps provide dry vacuum levels as deep as 0.6mbar, making them an excellent choice for most applications from benchtop research to pilot plant installations. See all the oil free chemistry design diaphragm vacuum pumps from BrandTech^® and VACUUBRAND^®.

Vacuum Pump Systems

Popular VACUUBRAND^® chemistry-design vacuum pumps are available with manual flow control for basic vacuum management or electronic two-point control for more sensitive applications. Solvent recovery is included with all vacuum pump systems.

For even greater productivity, BrandTech^® also offers a full line of dual application vacuum pumps. These pumps combine the high performance and low maintenance of the oil free diaphragm vacuum pumps with two vacuum controllers and solvent recovery for simultaneous control of two simultaneous vacuum applications. See all the vacuum pump systems from BrandTech^® and VACUUBRAND^®.

VARIO™ Vacuum Pump Systems

VACUUBRAND^® VARIO™ vacuum systems offer users unsurpassed control of critical vacuum applications. A low maintenance chemistry-design pump is integrated with a variable speed motor and a mercury-free, digital controller. The system automatically finds and follows boiling curves, continuously optimizing the vacuum level without having to program presets. It’s the ultimate productivity tool!

Aluminum-FKM Vacuum Pumps

VACUUBRAND^® Aluminum-FKM vacuum pumps are intended specifically for non-corrosive, non-evaporative applications. They are excellent for laboratory and process-plant applications including gas transfer, backing turbomolecular pumps, and vacuum filtration of aqueous solutions. See all the Aluminum-FKM vacuum pump from BrandTech^® and VACUUBRAND^®.

Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps

While chemistry-design diaphragm pumps can be used for many laboratory tasks, some applications, such as freeze drying or molecular distillation, require a greater vacuum depth. For these tasks, rotary vane technology or our Chemistry-HYBRID pumps are recommended. See all the rotary vane vacuum pumps from BrandTech^® and VACUUBRAND^®.

Vacuum Gauges and Controllers

VACUUBRAND^® vacuum gauges and controllers enable you to monitor and control vacuum generation for most laboratory vacuum applications. Gauges are compatible with most laboratory vacuum pumps and house vacuum, and feature both analog and digital displays. They help to rid laboratories of toxic, harmful mercury by replacing McLeod gauges and other manometers. See all the vacuum gauges and controllers from BrandTech^® and VACUUBRAND^®.
