Labs and industrial environments dealing with aggressive chemical vapors often face downtime and maintenance costs from oil-based vacuum systems. Welch’s ChemStar Dry system eliminates oil contamination risks while maintaining high chemical resistance and reliable performance. It’s built for users who need continuous operation in corrosive settings without the hassle of oil changes or vapor recovery systems.
1. Oil-Free Operation
No oil means no vapor contamination, no disposal headaches, and no maintenance tied to oil degradation. ChemStar Dry uses PTFE and other corrosion-resistant materials to handle aggressive vapors without breaking down.
2. Built for Harsh Chemistry
Designed for applications like rotary evaporation, vacuum drying, and distillation involving solvents such as TFA, DMF, DMSO, and acetonitrile. The system’s wetted surfaces resist corrosion and extend pump life.
3. Quiet and Compact
Operates at 52 dB(A), making it suitable for lab environments. The footprint is compact enough to fit under benches or integrate into fume hoods.
4. Smart Performance Monitoring
Includes a vacuum gauge and controller for precise regulation. Users can set vacuum levels and monitor performance in real time, reducing process variability.
5. Long-Term Cost Efficiency
No oil changes, fewer part replacements, and reduced downtime. ChemStar Dry is engineered for long service intervals and low total cost of ownership.
It’s compatible with aggressive solvents including TFA, DMF, DMSO, acetonitrile, and others commonly used in organic synthesis and analytical labs.
