The VACUU.LAN local vacuum network connects several workstations to one vacuum pump. The various modules make it possible to connect almost all popular vacuum applications such as rotary evaporators, vacuum concentrators, gel dryers, drying ovens and filter systems. It can be integrated into new laboratory furniture at the time of assembly or subsequently installed in existing laboratories.

• Individual connection configuration, vacuum connections to suit the requirements of the workstation
• Integrated non-return valves to prevent cross-contamination, even with a low pressure differential
• Demand-driven vacuum generation, automatic switching in and out of the vacuum pump
• Flexible design, easily adapted to changes in requirements or in the vacuum connection
• Practical design, integrated installation (installation conduit) or wall-mounting

VACUU.LAN VCL modules: The modules are fully assembled or pre-assembled and ready for connection. Different connecting elements enable integrated installation into newly planned laboratory furniture, subsequent installation in existing laboratories or upgrading of existing older networks. Each VCL module consists of a connecting element and a functional element.

Connecting elements: The connecting elements are used for mounting on or in the wall and form the connecting element between the vacuum network and the vacuum connector. The selection of the connecting element depends on whether the vacuum network is to be installed in existing laboratories or integrated into newly planned laboratory furniture.

Connecting element, A1: For surface mounting of vacuum lines on the wall or laboratory furniture. Often useful if a lab is to be furnished at a later date.
Connecting element, A5: For concealed integration of vacuum lines into the laboratory furniture. Mounting from the front side.
Connecting element, A2: For upgrading existing older networks. Is mounted on the backs of panels, rear walls of furniture and the like.
Connecting element, A3: For upgrading existing older networks. Is screwed into existing connecting sleeves.

Functional elements:

Manual adjustment module, VCL 01: With flow-adjustment diaphragm for opening and closing the vacuum line and fine-tuning the suction capacity.
Blocking/Adjustment module, VCL 02: With flow-adjustment diaphragm for fine tuning the suction capacity, combined with a ball valve for rapid opening and closing of the vacuum line; the fine tuning is retained.
Shut-off module, VCL K: With ball valve for opening and closing the vacuum line.
Manual control extraction module, VCL AR: Consisting of a manual control unit and a separate vacuum connection for installation in extractors.
Automatic control extraction module, VCL AE: Consists of an automatic control unit with a separate vacuum connection for installation in extractors and a gauge connection for connecting vacuum controller CVC 2" or VNC 1.
Automatic control module, VCL-B 10: VACU with connecting element A1, M35, for wall installation, comprising A1, B1, C3.
Automatic control module, VCL-B 11: VACU with connecting element A5, M35×1,5 comprising A5, B1, C3.
Adjustment/Shut-off/Gauge module, VCL RKM: Like VCL 02, also supplied with bourdon vacuum gauge as vacuum display for rapid reading and trend detection.
Functional element, C3B: Suction line solenoid valve, thread M35×1,5.

The connecting elements are used for mounting on or in the wall and form the connecting element between the vacuum network and the vacuum connector.
