Welch-Ilmvac has introduced the WelchNet Titan, a microprocessor controlled PTFE diaphragm vacuum pump system of high capacity, designed for multi-user laboratory installations.
The pumps work individually or in tandem depending upon laboratory vacuum demand, and will hold the vacuum level if an individual pump needs maintenance. Built with intelligent vacuum control and chemical resistance, the system is said by the company to be oil-free, energy efficient and low maintenance.
The Titan is mounted on a mobile base frame, which is easily positioned for adaptation to existing plumbing. Titan-4 and Titan-6 are systems utilising four or six PTFE diaphragm pumps to provide efficient vacuum on demand for up to 30 separate users.
The individual pumps start up in tandem and are successively switched off as working vacuum pressure is attained. One or more pumps come on in response to vacuum demand, rotating usage to distribute pump wear and extend maintenance interval.
Formed in mid-2010, Welch-Ilmvac combines the technologies and resources of two vacuum industry leaders, US-based Welch Vacuum Technology and Ilmvac, of Ilmenau, Germany. It has manufacturing facilities on two continents, as well as global distribution and an extensive service network.
