• Rotary Evaporation: Ensures consistent vacuum levels for efficient solvent recovery.
• Botanical Processing: Maintains fine-grained vacuum control for precise compound separation.
• Solvent Recovery: Ideal for recovering highly volatile solvents with precise pressure regulation.

Advanced Features for Enhanced Performance

The SVC-1 Summit Vacuum Control provides a range of advanced features designed to make vacuum regulation more efficient and reliable. The unit simultaneously displays both the set-point and current vacuum control, allowing users to closely monitor and adjust vacuum levels as needed. It offers fine control over target vapor pressure, making it ideal for applications that require precise distillation control.

Key Features:

• Fine-Grained Vacuum Control: Enables more precise compound separation through distillation by offering fine adjustments to vacuum levels.
• Simultaneous Display: Shows both the current vacuum and set point in real-time for better monitoring.
• Remote Control via USB: Allows users to control the vacuum system remotely, providing greater flexibility in lab environments.

Durability and Chemical Resistance

The flow path of the SVC-1 is specifically designed to withstand harsh chemical environments. With the use of PTFE valves and other chemical-resistant components, the unit ensures longevity even when exposed to aggressive solvents and chemicals commonly found in laboratory settings. This makes it an excellent choice for chemical duty applications, where durability is critical.

Durability Features:

• PTFE Valves: Built to resist chemical degradation and extend the lifespan of the vacuum control unit.
• Large Orifice Components: Allows for faster pump-downs and improves the overall efficiency of vacuum regulation.

Efficiency and Maintenance Benefits

One of the key advantages of the SVC-1 is its ability to extend the lifespan of vacuum pumps by keeping pumps near their base pressure, reducing wear and tear. This results in fewer oil changes, less oil mist, and an overall longer-lasting system. Additionally, by separating the pump oil from the process, the unit enables the use of rotary vane oil pumps in applications that previously required diaphragm pumps.

Benefits:

• Prolongs Pump Life: Reduces the need for frequent oil changes and minimizes oil mist, extending the life of the vacuum pump.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Maintains pump performance close to base pressure, ensuring consistent and reliable operation.
• Simplifies Setup: The SVC-1 requires fewer components than competing units, reducing maintenance needs and simplifying the setup process.

Safety and Compliance

The SVC-1 Summit Vacuum Control is CE and RoHS certified, ensuring compliance with international safety and environmental standards. This guarantees that the unit is not only safe to use but also environmentally responsible, meeting stringent guidelines for electrical equipment used in laboratory environments.

Included Components and Specifications

The SVC-1 comes equipped with all necessary components for quick and efficient setup, including a user-friendly interface, larger orifice parts for faster pump-downs, and a remote control option via USB.
