Buying a Vacuum Filtration Unit: What to Confirm First

Vacuum filtration units are quoted against funnel and receiver configuration, materials and vacuum arrangement. This page lists what to confirm before ordering.

What to Confirm Before Ordering

Documentation: Specify any required certification or conformity documents in your inquiry. Their availability must be confirmed for the quoted configuration. No CE declaration or certificate number is published on this page.

Site requirements: State your cooling-water, vacuum and electrical requirements, and identify any supporting equipment required in the quotation.

ReceiverReceiver capacity, shape and glass material per model.
Working pressureThe ZF-10L, ZF-20L, ZF-30L and ZF-50L parameter sheet lists atmospheric or negative-pressure operation, no positive-pressure capability, and an ultimate vacuum of −0.095 MPa. A “high pressure” product name does not establish a positive-pressure rating. Confirm the limits for the quoted configuration.

PackingPacked sizes and weights for the listed models are published in the packing reference.
Power supplyState your site voltage and frequency.

Send these with your inquiry through the contact page; the more complete the list, the closer the first quote lands.

Procurement Questions

Does “high pressure” mean the unit handles positive pressure?

The ZF-10L to ZF-50L parameter sheet lists atmospheric or negative-pressure operation with no positive-pressure capability; a “high pressure” product name does not establish a positive-pressure rating. Confirm the limits for your quoted configuration.
