Introducing the disposable vacuum pump
Capable of pumping air/gas and liquid as well as trapping solids, at 10-20 litres/minute, Adahan's diaphragm vacuum pump is cheap enough to be disengaged from the motor and disposed of
The new pump has a number of advantages over peristaltic pumps.
The AC-16 disposable pump is easily installed, with a single hand motion.
The AC-16 does not have the difficult tube insertion, and the risk of the tube pulling through the pump.
The AC-16 is easy to prime, purge air bubbles, and the liquid being pumped is observed at all times, for verification of proper function.
Electric power consumption is very low for the AC-16.
The AC-16 is not noisy as the peristaltic pump, when pumping gas or liquid with air.
The AC-16 does not allow backflow into the inlet, as does the peristaltic pump, each time a roller relieves the tube squeeze.
The AC-16 can remain installed indefinitely, without the tube kinking blockage common for peristaltic pumps.
The AC-16 pump can provide up to 9mbar(a) vacuum, as well as up to 30lb/in2 pressure with flows up to 12 litre/min for air.
