Optimal Laboratory Desiccation and DryingDesigned for moisture-sensitive sample storage, this vacuum desiccator system utilizes a diaphragm vacuum pump, achieving vacuums up to 10 mbar and ensuring rapid and efficient drying or storage. The chemical-resistant body, ground flange lid, and silicone gaskets offer reliable airtight performance, making it ideal for research, quality assurance labs, and chemical processing.
Engineered for Safety and DurabilityEnjoy peace of mind with integrated safety features: automatic thermal cut-off, overheat protection, and a non-return valve prevent damage or risk during operation. The scratch-resistant polycarbonate lid and corrosion-resistant construction extend longevity, suitable for frequent lab use.
User-Friendly and Versatile OperationThe vacuum desiccator is supplied with accessories such as desiccant tray, vacuum hose, O-ring seal, and a borosilicate glass plate. Standard 8 mm hose barb port connections allow seamless integration. Power efficiency (45 W) and silent operation (60 dB) make it practical for continuous work without disruption.
FAQs of Vacuum Desiccator with Diaphragm Vacuum Pump:
Q: How do I set up and operate the Vacuum Desiccator with the diaphragm vacuum pump?
A: To set up, connect the vacuum hose between the desiccator and pump using the 8 mm hose barb port. Ensure the desiccant tray is placed inside and samples are arranged on the flat polyethylene perforated plate. Secure the polycarbonate lid using the knob and gasket, plug the pump into a 220-240V AC power source, and switch it on. Monitor the pressure gauge to reach the desired vacuum level for your application.
Q: What applications is this vacuum desiccator system best suited for?
A: This system is ideal for laboratory use in moisture-sensitive sample storage, vacuum drying of chemicals, desiccation of biological specimens, and performing vacuum filtration processes. Its corrosion-resistant and chemical-resistant construction allows handling of solvent vapors and various reagents commonly used in academic, research, and industrial labs.
Q: When should the desiccant inside the chamber be replaced or regenerated?
A: Replace or regenerate the desiccant whenever it becomes saturated, typically indicated by a visual change in color or loss of drying efficacy. Regularly check the state of the desiccant, especially after multiple vacuum cycles or when storing highly hygroscopic materials to maintain optimal moisture removal.
Q: Where can this vacuum desiccator and pump system be installed for best performance?
A: Install the system on a stable laboratory bench near an electrical outlet. Ensure the area is free from excessive moisture or corrosive fumes, and that there is adequate space around the pump (dimensions: 250 x 130 x 190 mm) for ventilation and safety. Its quiet operation (60 dB) makes it suitable even for teaching labs and shared research spaces.
Q: What process does the diaphragm vacuum pump use to achieve and maintain a vacuum in the desiccator?
A: The diaphragm pump creates vacuum by mechanically moving a flexible membrane, drawing out air and moisture from the sealed chamber through the hose barb port. Its non-return valve ensures vacuum retention, and the pressure gauge allows monitoring. This setup provides a controlled low-pressure environment ideal for desiccation or drying.
Q: How does the design of the vacuum desiccator benefit long-term laboratory use?
A: With its chemical-resistant polycarbonate chamber, scratch-resistant lid, and overheat-protected pump, this system ensures longevity and safe operation. The transparency of polycarbonate allows easy visual monitoring, while robust seals and a flat base tray enable consistent sample drying or storage.
