Selecting the Right Vacuum for your Purge Oven Application

Removing residual solvents and water quickly is critical in a purge oven. By selecting the right vacuum pump, you can dial in the right combination of temperature and pressure to achieve two critical goals. You will minimize process time by quickly boiling off solvents and water. And you will get the highest product quality by maintaining the integrity of plant oils and terpenes. In addition to finding a pump that gives you the right vacuum level and flow, be sure that you use a pump that is rated for use with the solvents you will be using, and that will hold up over the long term.
