The Aitcool brand makes exceptional products - all their pumps are CE marked, a European quality standard.
This Aitcool Single Stage Pump comes in 3 models with 2 variations.
The Single, Twin and Twin Stage Dual Voltage Pump. With the CFM referring to Cubic feet per minute.
The single stage pump is relatively lightweight and efficiently pulls a vacuum on smaller chambers, such as the 5L or 8L, and for small open blast and closed loop systems.
The twin stage pump will efficiently pull a vacuum on ovens, large rack-mounted systems and short path distillation systems. This pump should not be run for more than 2 hours.
A twin stage pump has two rotors and vanes - one stage creates a vacuum and one cleans the system, ultimately creating a deeper vacuum. A twin stage pump provides faster evacuation, a cleaner process and quieter operation.
The pump comes as standard with rubber feet to dampen vibrations/reduce noise and a carry handle. Additionally a power supply and UK plug are included.
Please start by reading the instruction manual included. First, fill the pump with the supplied oil - take care to not fill past the halfway mark.
We recommend a maximum of 15 minutes to run the pump in total. It should take no longer than 5 minutes to pull a full vacuum. Once you have done this, close the valve on the chamber and then turn off the pump. Remove the hose between the pump and chamber to stop pump oil being pulled into the chamber.
After this initial pull, the vacuum can be maintained for up to 100 hours or longer but the pump itself can never be run continuously.
The chamber may lose a little pressure over a period of time, so simply turn on your pump and then open the valve on your chamber to pull a full vac again.
