Clean Air has manufactured, designed and installed 22 unique APEX 2 fume cupboards and a linked extract system for the University of Liverpool. During the project, Clean Air had the opportunity to work in collaboration with world-leading vacuum pump manufacturers VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG. Innovative New Vacuum Supply.
Innovative New Vacuum Supply
VACUUBRAND has designed and installed a novel vacuum supply for the university’s prestigious Regius Chair laboratory. The innovative vacuum supply concept works with the bespoke fume cupboards. It offers the scientists an equipment system that meets the highest quality standards.
In a worldwide first, the vacuum supply concept builds on VACUUBRAND VACUU∙LAN technology. In part, it utilises the new VACUU∙SELECT touchscreen vacuum controller.
3 Integrated Vacuum Networks
This innovative solution consists of three integrated vacuum networks.
Lastly, each fume cupboard has its own fine vacuum rotary vane pump RZ6, with a high-flow connection in each unit. This high vacuum system is also connected to and controlled from the same VACUU∙SELECT touchscreen controller mounted on the front panel.
This vacuum supply solution works within the fume cupboards to ensure the researchers are safely provided with the ideal vacuum supply for their purposes. Altogether the unique installation offers filtration, controlled evaporation, and high vacuum distillation, including secondary drying, all covered precisely by a lab-specific VACUUBRAND solution.
