VACSTAR lite is a speed-controlled, 2-cylinder vacuum pump for universal use in dry and oil-free vacuum applications. Equipped with chemically resistant membranes and an ultimate vacuum pressure of 9 mbar, this vacuum pump is ideal for almost all standard vacuum applications in the laboratory.

Optimised for use with rotary evaporators, laboratory reactors, temperature chambers, centrifuges and other laboratory equipment, as well as classic Schlenk line and standard filtration systems, VACSTAR lite offers high operating efficiency and flexibility. The robust design ensures long-term reliability with minimal maintenance, making it an ideal peripheral device for standard laboratory processes.

• Compact and thin design: thanks to its small footprint, VACSTAR lite can be conveniently placed behind other lab equipment, saving valuable bench space while remaining easily accessible
• Integrated device communication: the pump enables seamless communication between devices such as vacuum controllers and circulators, ensuring synchronised laboratory processes. This feature optimises process control and increases overall system performance
• Longer system life: in combination with the VC 10 lite vacuum controller, the system has an integrated valve cleaning function that removes solvent residues and thus extends the life of the vacuum system. Regular ventilation prevents the build-up of contamination and reduces maintenance costs
• The use of the VSE 1 emission condenser (available as an accessory) is recommended. This ensures the safety of users from escaping solvent vapours and at the same time keeps the ambient air clean
