Modular Assembly, Faster Lead Times
Bolted-frame systems allow faster production, easier shipping, and streamlined installation compared to traditional welded units.
Quiet, Low-Vibration Operation
Designed for noise-sensitive research and teaching environments, ensuring minimal disruption to lab activities.
Customizable System Options
Scalable from small lab suites to full research campuses, with the ability to tailor capacity, redundancy, and layout to your needs.
Laboratory Vacuum Applications
Leak Detection
Vacuum pumps help detect leaks in various objects (fittings, chambers) by measuring the pressure differential between the inlet and outlet.
Vacuum Chambers for Altitude Simulation
Used to simulate low atmospheric pressure to assess how devices function at different altitudes.
Vacuum Gauge Calibration
Vacuum pumps create a known low-pressure within a chamber, allowing calibration of vacuum gauges by comparing readings to the pump’s reference level.
Storage of Instruments
Vacuum pumps remove air and vapor molecules to store calibrated instruments in a moisture-free environment
Filtration, Solvent Removal, and Gas Sampling
Vacuum is essential for creating a low pressure environment that enables a wide range of processes critical in fields like chemistry, biology, and material science
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes laboratory vacuum systems different from industrial ones?
Lab systems require cleaner, quieter, and often oil-free operation to protect sensitive experiments and instruments. GlobalVac & Air designs systems specifically for these needs. Additionally, our lab systems include an auto purge feature which purges the vacuum pumping chamber with fresh air prior to the pump shutting down to prevent condensation from forming inside the pump.
Can your vacuum systems be customized to my lab’s layout?
Yes. We offer modular, scalable systems that can be configured to fit your available space and future expansion plans.
Are your systems oil-free?
Most of our laboratory vacuum systems use dry technologies like rotary claw or oil-less rotary vane pumps to ensure clean, contaminant-free operation, but they can be supplied with oil-lubricated pumps if the application requires a deeper vacuum level.
How do I choose the right system for my application?
Our team can help you select a vacuum technology based on application type, required vacuum level, flow rate, and facility layout.
Do you offer quiet solutions for noise-sensitive areas?
Yes. Our systems are engineered to minimize operational noise and vibration, making them ideal for research labs and teaching environments.
What are laboratory vacuum pump systems used for?
Laboratory vacuum pump systems create controlled low-pressure environments for processes such as filtration, distillation, evaporation, and degassing. They are essential in chemical analysis, life sciences research, and cleanroom applications that require precise vacuum levels.
