First claw pump for pressure/vacuum in one stage
Rietschle's Zephyr multi-claw series are highly efficient, dry-running pressure/vacuum pumps, air compressors, and vacuum pumps, with applications across industry.
Despite its sub-£200 price, it provides a number of design advantages over alternative solutions, including improved performance, increased reliability, longer operation life, and an ergonomically designed, aesthetically pleasing housing.
A silent running, oil-free Wob-L piston pump is at the heart of the 2510, providing free flows rates of 11 l/min, vacuum to 292mbar and pressure to 2.3bar.
Being dry running, the 2510 runs without the possibility of contaminating the process with oil mist, whilst the Wob-L piston design eliminates the problems of unreliability and frequent breakdowns that beset oil-sealed rotary pumps.
At the same time, the vacuum against flow rate curves for the Wob-L piston designs are vastly superior to those of membrane pumps, giving far higher flows at any given vacuum to ensure a more consistent operation.
The station can be run continuously, permitting use in applications such as filtering, drying, aerating and gas sampling, and making it an ideal replacement for water recirculation pumps or water aspirators.
The station is easy to connect to laboratory apparatus via the hose connection point on the face of the unit.
Smart and attractive, the 2510 has been designed from the outset as a lightweight, compact portable unit, with the pump housed in a tough injection moulded housing with an integral carrying handle.
Volume manufacture has been the key to producing such a high performance, visually pleasing unit at such a cost-effective price.
The Model 2510 vacuum/pressure station is available across Europe from major distributors and from ASF Thomas, along with a correspondingly high level of local service and support.
