The HiMedia HiVac-400 Vacuum Pump (LA1081) is a high-performance, piston-powered laboratory instrument designed for efficient and maintenance-free liquid filtration and microbiological detection. As an oil-free system, it eliminates the risk of oil mist pollution, making it an ideal choice for clean biology laboratories and food industry applications.
Key Specifications:
According to technical data from HiMedia Laboratories, the HiVac-400 offers increased capacity over entry-level models to handle more demanding lab tasks:
• Max Flow Rate: 34 Litres per minute (L/min)
• Max Vacuum: 100 mbar (approx. 680 mmHg)
• Motor Speed: 1450 RPM
• Weight: 5.4 kg
• Dimensions: 310 mm (W) x 152 mm (D) x 165 mm (H)
• Port Thread: 9 mm
Advanced Safety & Design Features:
The HiVac-400 is engineered with several protective features to ensure longevity and operator safety:
• Oil-Free Piston Drive: Driven by a piston without the need for lubricants, which removes the necessity for regular oil changes and prevents air pollution in sensitive environments.
• Thermal Protection: Each motor includes a built-in thermal protection device that automatically shuts down the pump if it overheats, resuming once cooled.
• Moisture Trap & Filter: Equipped with a filter cartridge at the air inlet to trap particles and moisture, significantly prolonging the pump’s operational life.
• Vacuum Regulator: Includes a dedicated regulator for precise adjustments of vacuum levels during sensitive procedures.
