Vacuum Pumping Kits for the PELCO^® Vacuum Desiccator Cabinets:

• Diaphragm Pump for the #2251 Vacuum desiccator with hose connection
  dry system with low pumping speed and moderate end-vacuum
  
  
• VRI-2 Rotary Pump kit 55 for the #2251 Vacuum Desicator with hose connection
  good pumping speed and good end-vacuum
  
  
• VRI-2 Rotary Pump kit 51 with connection hardware for the #2251-16 Vacuum Desiccator with KF-16 connection
  good pumping speed and good end-vacuum
  
  
• VRI-2 Rotary Pump kit 52 with connection hardware and foreline trap for the #2251-16 Vacuum desiccator with KF-16 connection
  good pumping speed, good end-vacuum and back-streaming protection

This pumping kit consist of the VRI-2 pump with a KF16 hose adapter, ¼” thick wall silicone hose and rotary pump exhaust filter. The achievable vacuum is in the 10-2 mbar range. Very cost effective solution offering fast pumping speed and good end vacuum. Ideally used for intermittent pumping. Available both in 115V and 230V.

This pumping kit consists of the VRI-2 pump with KF16 adapters, flexible stainless steel hose, connection hardware and  rotary pump exhaust filter. The achievable  vacuum level is in the 10-2 mbar range. Cost effective solution offering fast pumping speed and good end-vacuum. Suitable for intermittent pumping. For continuous pumping applications consider pumping kit 52.

This pumping kit is the same as above with an additional foreline trap mounted between rotary pump and the vacuum desiccator. Includes all metal KF-16 hardware and exhaust filter. The foreline trap prevents backstreaming from the rotary pump to maintain an oil-free environment (provided the activated alumina for the foreline trap is exchanged at regular intervals). Best solution with good end vacuum. Suitable for continuous pumping applications.
