Orange Coast Pneumatics provides access to the complete line of Welch vacuum solutions, from compact dry pumps to sophisticated systems. Whether you need oil-free diaphragm pumps for basic filtration or rotary vane models for deep vacuum, we help you find the right solution.


Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps

Belt-Drive Rotary Vane

Engineered for longevity and deep vacuum needs. Precision machined for heavy-duty tasks like refrigeration service and vacuum ovens. Known for high performance in fast evacuation.

Direct-Drive Rotary Vane (CRVpro)

Compact and robust for continuous operation. Ideal for freeze dryers and rotary evaporators. The CRVpro family reduces risk of accidental liquid ingestion and minimizes maintenance.


Chemical Duty & Dry Pumps

Chemical Duty Diaphragm

Features PTFE diaphragms for handling aggressive chemicals and corrosive gases. Perfect for rotary evaporators and glove boxes where corrosion resistance is critical.

ChemStar Dry Vacuum

Designed for harsh chemical vapors and high vapor loads. Essential for mass spectrometry and chemical processing where reliable deep vacuum is needed without oil.

Standard Duty Dry

Oil-free operation for clean applications like filtration, degassing, and cell culture aspiration. Eliminates oil mist and reduces maintenance.


Vacuum Systems & Networks

Automated Diaphragm Systems

Precision-controlled environments for reproducibility. Ideal for vacuum distillation where exact levels prevent sample degradation.

Fluid Aspiration Systems

Safe solution for aspirating fluids in cell culture and bioscience. Minimizes contamination risk and facilitates gentle handling.

WelchNet Modular Network

Customizable solution connecting multiple vacuum sources and points of use. Scalable infrastructure for evolving laboratory needs.

Diffusion Pump Kits

Achieve high vacuum levels for mass spectrometry and vacuum ovens using high-speed vapor jets.


Essential Accessories

  • Controllers & Gauges: Precise measurement and real-time monitoring for distillation and freeze drying.
  • Traps & Protection: Capture particles and vapors to protect pump internals and extend life.
  • Fittings & Hoses: Secure, chemical-resistant connections for airtight vacuum integrity.
  • OEM Dry Pumps: Built-in solutions for integration into leak testing and pick-and-place systems.

Common Application Areas

Mass Spectrometry

Requires deep, stable vacuum for molecular analysis.

Botanical Processing

Essential oil extraction relies on consistent vacuum levels.

Rotary Evaporation

Efficient solvent removal and sample concentration.

Freeze Drying

Deep vacuum for sublimating moisture from sensitive samples.

Vacuum Ovens

Removing volatile solvents under reduced pressure.

Degassing

Removing air pockets from materials or storage environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right technology?

Selection depends on required vacuum level (depth), chemical compatibility, and duty cycle. We evaluate these factors to recommend the best option.

Can these pumps handle corrosive gases?

Yes. Chemical Duty models feature PTFE contact surfaces and other resistant materials specifically for handling aggressive gases.

What maintenance is required?

Varies by model. Generally involves regular oil changes (for rotary vane) or diaphragm checks. We can connect you with authorized service providers.
