Sterlitech Corporation is proud to offer a new range of compact, quiet, and affordable vacuum sources with the new TLD3000 and TLD5000 diaphragm vacuum pumps. Perfectly suited for vacuum filtration in laboratory analytical procedures, the new pumps require little to no maintenance, built with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) contact surfaces for broad chemical compatibility. With a 1/7 horsepower motor, The TLD3000 vacuum pump can deliver 22 in-Hg of vacuum and 20 L/min of free air displacement. The bleach-resistant TLD5000 vacuum model has a 1/5 horsepower motor for a maximum vacuum of 24 in-Hg and a free air displacement of 37 L/min. This larger vacuum model has a maximum pressure of 18psig and can be used as a pressure pump. Both vacuum pumps feature liquid inlet traps, vacuum regulators and PTFE diaphragms rated 12,000 hours of use.

Designed with the scientist in mind, these new vacuum pumps have a small lab footprint and are extremely durable for frequent use even in the most demanding lab environments. Sterlitech President Mark Spatz says, “With the added assurance that comes from being manufactured in the United States, scientists and technicians can be sure that the TLD3000 and TLD5000 are the most economical pumps on the market for general laboratory applications.” The innovative TLD3000 and TLD5000 diaphragm vacuum pumps are not only excellent stand-alone products, but are also compatible with Sterlitech’s existing line of vacuum filtration equipment, including membrane filters, filter funnels, and vacuum manifolds.
