Titan VRP-16 Dual-Stage Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump (KF25 Flange, 220V AC)

Overview

The Titan VRP-16 is a dual-stage, oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump engineered for reliable, continuous operation in laboratory and light industrial vacuum applications. Based on the well-established Couette-type compression principle, it achieves high volumetric efficiency through two sequential compression stages—first stage pre-compresses the gas, and second stage further reduces pressure to reach ultimate vacuum levels typically below 5 × 10⁻³ mbar. Its robust cast-iron housing, precision-ground vanes, and thermally stable rotor assembly ensure consistent performance under variable load conditions. Designed for integration into vacuum ovens, freeze dryers, vacuum filtration systems, degassing stations, and analytical instrument sample preparation workflows, the VRP-16 delivers stable base pressure and low vibration—critical for sensitive instrumentation environments.

Key Features

• Dual-stage oil-sealed architecture for enhanced ultimate vacuum and improved pumping speed across mid-to-low vacuum ranges (10⁰ to 10⁻³ mbar)
• KF25 (ISO-KF 25) quick-release flange standard for rapid, leak-tight connection to vacuum chambers, cold traps, and auxiliary components
• 0.75 kW energy-efficient induction motor with thermal overload protection and IP54-rated enclosure for dust/moisture resistance
• Integrated oil mist filter and sight glass for real-time oil level monitoring and reduced environmental contamination
• Oil return check valve and vapor condensation baffle to minimize backstreaming and extend oil service life
• Compact footprint (520 × 180 × 280 mm) and 30 kg mass optimized for benchtop or mobile cart mounting
• Compliant with IEC 60034-1 motor safety standards and CE-marked per EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The VRP-16 is compatible with standard laboratory vacuum accessories including KF25-compatible vacuum hoses, ballast valves, gas ballast controls (for condensable vapor handling), and optional exhaust filters. It supports vacuum processes involving non-corrosive, non-reactive gases and vapors—such as water, solvents (e.g., acetone, ethanol, ethyl acetate), and inert carrier gases. It is not rated for use with halogenated, acidic, or highly polymerizable vapors without additional gas ballast or cold trap integration. The pump meets ISO 21809-2 requirements for oil contamination control in vacuum systems and conforms to ISO 8573-1 Class 4 air purity specifications when equipped with factory-installed oil mist filter. Documentation includes full Declaration of Conformity, RoHS-compliant material declarations, and traceable manufacturing batch records for GLP/GMP-aligned labs.

Software & Data Management

As a standalone mechanical vacuum source, the VRP-16 operates without embedded firmware or digital interface. However, it is fully compatible with third-party vacuum monitoring and control systems via analog 0–10 V or 4–20 mA pressure feedback inputs when paired with external capacitance manometers (e.g., MKS Baratron series) or Pirani gauges. Integration-ready terminals support remote start/stop signals and motor status indication, enabling seamless incorporation into automated vacuum protocols compliant with ASTM E2656 (Standard Practice for Vacuum System Integrity Testing) and FDA 21 CFR Part 11–aligned audit trails when used with validated SCADA or LIMS platforms.

Applications

• Primary vacuum source for rotary evaporators, vacuum ovens, and lyophilizers in pharmaceutical and chemical R&D labs
• Backing pump for turbomolecular and diffusion pumps in surface analysis (XPS, AES) and thin-film deposition systems
• Vacuum degassing of resins, adhesives, and composite prepregs prior to curing
• Sample preparation for SEM, TEM, and XRD—particularly for moisture-sensitive or outgassing-prone specimens
• Environmental testing chambers requiring stable sub-millibar pressure control over extended cycles
• Quality control vacuum leak testing per ISO 10271 and ASTM E499 methodologies

FAQ

What is the recommended oil type and change interval?
Titan specifies ISO VG 68 mineral-based vacuum pump oil (e.g., Titan VP-Oil 68 or equivalent). Oil should be changed after initial 100 hours of operation, then every 500–1000 hours depending on duty cycle and process gas composition.
Can the VRP-16 be operated continuously?
Yes—designed for 24/7 operation with adequate ventilation and ambient temperature ≤35 °C. Continuous duty requires periodic inspection of oil level, cooling fins, and exhaust line integrity.
Is a gas ballast valve included?
Yes—the VRP-16 features an integrated, manually adjustable gas ballast valve to handle small quantities of condensable vapors and maintain stable ultimate pressure during solvent removal.
Does it meet noise emission limits for lab environments?
At 1 m distance, sound pressure level is ≤62 dB(A), compliant with ISO 3744 and suitable for shared laboratory spaces when installed on anti-vibration mounts.
What maintenance documentation is provided?
Each unit ships with bilingual (English/Chinese) operation manual, preventive maintenance checklist, torque specifications for service points, and spare parts schematic (vanes, shaft seal, oil filter, gasket kit).
