Scroll Pumps

At USAWelch, we are driven by unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence. This is why we are thrilled to introduce the Welch SCSpro 15 dry scroll vacuum pump. Welch SCSpro 15 has a built-in self-cleaning air flush that removes that vapors that make it past an in-line cold trap and condense inside the pump. The air flush doesn’t impact the ultimate vacuum or pumping speed of the SCSpro 15.

One key player in meeting this demand is the OEM Dry Vacuum Pump. Designed to optimize performance while minimizing costs, these pumps offer a range of benefits and applications that can significantly enhance your operations.

Vacuum Controllers and Vacuum Gauges

The total range of scientifically useful vacuums extends from approx. 1000 mbar (atmospheric pressure) down to 10-12 mbar – the ultra-high vacuum range. A physical measurement of the whole vacuum/pressure range is not necessary. Particular sensors and gauges must be used for parts of the whole range – rough, high and ultra-high vacuum. These systems are also offered in combination as multi-range vacuum gauges for covering multiple measuring ranges.

Vacuum Pump Accessories

Refrigeration Pumps

  Features of Air Conditioner Pumps Welch HVAC Vacuum Pumps are used to remove gas, vapors, and other contaminants from refrigeration systems after refrigerant recovery and repair of cooling systems. Deep and complete vacuum is required to ensure the Air Conditioning system is free from contaminants before recharging with refrigerant.

It ensures ultra-quiet and maintenance-free operation even for moderately corrosive applications. Chemical resistance is built in with polyacrylamide heads and PTFE diaphragms, tubing and valves. GEMINI gives you enhanced chemical resistance – tolerant beyond aqueous fumes for use with solvents and weak acids/bases.

Maintenance Kits

Mass Spectrometry

About Mass Spectrometry Mass Spectrometry is used for many analytical purposes including:

Botanicals Processing

Use of Vacuum Pumps in Botanicals Processing Workflow The typical THC/CBD extraction workflow consists of several steps. These steps typically include

Rotary Evaporator

Rotary evaporators are typically used to remove solvents following chemical reactions. Combined with gentle heat from the evaporator bath, controlled vacuum is used to accelerate distillation. Efficient solvent distillation requires vacuum balanced to achieve sufficient pressure reduction yet not overrunning the condensing capabilities of your rotovap.

Vacuum Concentrator

  About Centrifugal Vacuum Concentrators Applications Vacuum concentrators use centrifugal force to concentrate or evaporate multiple samples  under vacuum, for further analysis. The process typically requires a chemical-resistant diaphragm vacuum pump or system with special attention to your setup. 

Freeze Dryer

Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, is the process of freezing a material then sublimating any frozen liquid directly from solid to gas. The method is often used to preserve food and pharmaceuticals, as it allows products to be easily stored and transported without requiring constant refrigeration.

Vacuum Oven

Vacuum ovens offer enhanced efficiency and precision in various industrial applications, allowing for processes such as drying, curing, and degassing to occur at lower temperatures and reducing the risk of heat damage. 

Vacuum Distillation

Vacuum distillation is the process of separating a mixture of liquids by evaporation and condensation. This is normally performed by heating the liquid until boiling occurs, indicating that the vapor pressure of the liquid has exceeded the ambient pressure.

Degassing / Dessicator

  About Vacuum Degassing / Desiccator Substances that oxidize when exposed to air are typically kept under vacuum in a desiccator to reduce the reaction rate. In laboratories, vacuum desiccators are used for removing moisture from samples, maintaining a dust- and moisture-free environment, vacuum testing, de-foaming, and storing samples under various atmospheric conditions. For applications with aqueous vapors, Welch recommends standard duty diaphragm pumps or WOB-L piston pumps. In cases involving solvents and harsh acidic or basic fumes, a chemical-resistant diaphragm pump, such as MPC, should be used.

Aspiration (Cell Culture)

About Vacuum Aspirators use in Cell Culture Application  In biochemistry, microbiology and cell culture applications, aspirators are often used for the removal and disposal of liquids in laboratory environment. The aspiration pump creates a vacuum in the collection bottle, which pulls in liquids due to the differential pressure. The liquid is collected in the bottle, and can be disposed of when full.

Glove Box

Glove boxes are used to create a controlled environment, either for isolation of sensitive substances, or to protect users from hazardous materials. The boxes feature built-in gloves for safe handling of the contents.

Gel Dryer

What You Need To Know About Gel Drying? Vacuum drying of gels is a common preparation technique in gel electrophoresis applications for life science laboratories. The gel is heated on a dryer, while vacuum is applied to accelerate drying. Appropriately sized diaphragm pumps are typically used due to their chemical resistance

Vacuum Measurement & Control

Vacuum measurement is used in a number of applications to monitor whether the pressure level is correct for the process. Based on the measurement, the vacuum pump, apparatus or process can be adjusted to maintain the desired pressure level.

Vacuum Network

Vacuum networks, such as Netvac+, make it possible to supply multiple laboratory applications with a single vacuum pump. Netvac+ offers precise performance for up to 30 vacuum ports. Depending on the laboratory’s requirements, Welch’s vacuum pumps, controllers, systems and components can be individually selected to create a customized and robust vacuum network.

Leak Testing

Leak testing is used in quality control to detect discharges of various manufactured products like for example laboratory components, pressure vessel components or alloy wheels.

Pick & Place

What is Pick and Place System or Automated Movement System? Pick & place systems allow automated movement of items using a vacuum pump and movable rig. The pump provides vacuum to a suction cup, which picks up the item. The item is moved to its desired location using the rig, then the vacuum pump is disconnected from the suction cup, returning to atmospheric pressure and releasing the item.

Vacuum Workhholding

Vacuum workholding (or vacuum chucking) is used in a wide range of applications to hold an item in place while an operation is performed. Vacuum is applied to a surface with a number of holes in it. When the item is placed on the surface, the vacuum holds it in place. A high flow rate is required for this application as the item may not cover all of the holes in the surface.

Vacuum Manifold

What Are Vacuum Manifolds or Schlenk Lines? Vacuum manifolds, also known as Schlenk Lines, are commonly used for the final drying of samples removed from a rotary evaporator. Organic solvents and/or acids left behind during the distillation process are removed over several hours or more depending on the sample size. A foreline cold trap upstream of the pump is always recommended to prevent the ingestion of liquids. An acid neutralization trap is also recommended between the cold trap and the pump when strong acids are present in the sample.

Oil Free Dry Vacuum Pump

  Oil-free vacuum pumps are the future of every lab and industrial work environment. These environmentally friendly products bring a range of benefits, such as clearer samples, cleaner workspace and reduced maintenance. We offer products from three positive displacement oil less pump technologies: Diaphragm pumps, WOB-L® piston pumps and a proprietary vacuum system.

Vacuum Controller

Welch offers programmable vacuum controllers for process control in the rough vacuum range 1100 to 1 mbar. Controlled pressures and processes guarantee high reproducibility and recovery yields in distillation processes. Furthermore, controlled processing leads to significantly lower operation costs and less environmental damage. Measuring sensors and electromagnetic ventilation valves can be externally mounted as a complete building group. They belong to the scope of supply of the controller.
