Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps are rated for continuous duty.

Press Release Summary:



DryFast Ultra 2-Torr chemical-duty diaphragm vacuum pumps, models 2021 and 2031, are oil-less, 2-stage pumps designed to strip solvents. With respective pumping capacities of 22 and 32 L/min, models 2021 and 2031 are rated for pressure to 29.8 in. Hg and generate flow and vacuum level needed to handle high boiling point solvents (less than 160°C). They utilize corrosion-resistant PTFE on all wetted surfaces and do not require cold traps to operate.

Do You Need a High Performance and Economical, Dry (Oil-Free) Alternative Vacuum Source for Water Aspirators or House Vacuum on Your Rotary Evaporator?


Welch introduces DryFast Ultra 2-Torr chemical duty diaphragm vacuum pumps to meet your ever challenging laboratory needs. New models 2021 and 2031 are oil-less, two-stage diaphragm pumps with features and performance to rapidly strip solvents and with a price to fit your budget. With pumping capacities of 22L/min and 32L/min respectively, and an ultimate pressure of 2 Torr (29.8" Hg), these pumps generate the flow and vacuum level needed to handle high boiling point solvents (<160°C) such as DMF.

Models 2021 and 2031 handle aggressive acidic, basic and solvent vapors by utilizing corrosion-resistant PTFE (fluorinated plastics) on all wetted surfaces. No cold traps are needed to operate. These stand-alone diaphragm vacuum pumps need very little maintenance leading to low cost of ownership and improved productivity. The method of simply pumping room air through the vacuum pump when removing the receiving flask will purge the diaphragm of any condensed vapors resulting in a cleaned pump.

Quiet, chemical resistant, continuous duty high flow, and with ultimate vacuum of 2 Torr, models 2021 and 2031 are just the latest additions to an already extensive line chemical-duty PTFE pumps. Welch application certifies all these pumps for rotary evaporation, concentration, filtration, degassing, and other chemical applications.
