Rotary-vane pumping unit PC 3 / RZ 16

PC 3 / RZ 16

VACUUBRAND699897ca. 608 mmca. 486 mmca. 36 kg

These powerful rotary vane pumps are the largest of the VACUUBRAND family and are designed for pumping large volumes of gases or evacuation of vessels. The PC 3 rotary vane pumping unit, with the GKF 1000i cold trap at the inlet, helps the pump to handle large amounts of condensable vapors. The PC 3 pumping unit is compact, user-friendly, and well arranged with oil mist filter at the outlet, a valve, and a T-connection for a vacuum gauge.

Performance features

very high flow rates even at vacuum levels approaching ultimate vacuum
high water vapor tolerance due to efficient gas ballast; very good ultimate vacuum even with gas ballast
vacuum-tight at switch-off; external anti-suckback valve not needed
large oil volume: Long intervals between oil changes
ease of maintenance due to telescopic design
