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
Precision-controlled environments for reproducibility. Ideal for vacuum distillation where exact levels prevent sample degradation.
Safe solution for aspirating fluids in cell culture and bioscience. Minimizes contamination risk and facilitates gentle handling.
Customizable solution connecting multiple vacuum sources and points of use. Scalable infrastructure for evolving laboratory needs.
Achieve high vacuum levels for mass spectrometry and vacuum ovens using high-speed vapor jets.
