Filtration processes separate particles from fluids to ensure their purity and quality. In contrast to simple gravimetric filtration, vacuum pumps optimize filtration by creating a pressure differential that moves the fluid through the filter more efficiently. This results in a fast and highly efficient filtration process. The pump can be equipped with a vacuum control and gauge to easily regulate the vacuum. This type of filtration process is often used in laboratories and research facilities because it can be...
