Self-Cleaning Diaphragm Pump handles saturated vapors.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for vacuum ovens, vacuum concentrators, and rotary evaporators, Model N860.3FT.40P with self-drying Power Dry feature uses electronically controlled valve to periodically meter ambient air into pump. Sudden flow of air forces liquids out of pump heads, immediately restoring efficiency and minimizing processing time. PTFE heads and diaphragms provide corrosion resistance, and, because there is no oil to replace and dispose of, pump is virtually maintenance-free.

LABOPORT® Self-Cleaning Pumps for Pumping Saturated Vapors
Used wherever highly saturated vapors are encountered
KNF Neuberger announces its new, patent-pending self-drying diaphragm pump designed specifically to reduce process time for vacuum ovens, vacuum concentrators and rotory evaporators. Saturated vapors condense and accumulate within a vacuum pump's heads due to insufficient flow thru the unit. These condensates reduce pump efficiency and extend processing time. KNF's model N860.3FT.40P with self-drying Power Dry feature uses an electronically-controlled valve that periodically meters ambient air into the pump. The sudden flow of air forces liquids out of the pump heads, immediately restoring efficiency and reducing processing time. Chamber vacuum levels are unaffected.
In addition, KNF's solid PTFE heads and diaphragms provide the maximum corrosion resistance available And, because there is no pump oil to replace and dispose of, they are virtually maintenance-free.
