FloVac Degasser

Anton Paar's FloVac Degasser combines two separate sample preparation techniques into a single elegant solution. This stand-alone device has six sample stations, each having individual control valves to help add or remove individual sample cells without interrupting the other samples in the process.

The completely programmable temperature controller (up to 126 ramps, soak and step segments) that can interface to a PC for recording, programming, and graphing offers complete optimization for a wide range of sample types. The FloVac Degasser will offer an almost continuous supply of well-prepared samples for the Nova, QUADRASORB evo, or autosorb iQ series of surface area and pore size analyzers.

Key Features

The key features of the FloVac Degasser are:

• Six sample preparation ports. • Temperature range: ambient to 350ºC (with standard borosilicate sample cells or 400ºC with optional quartz sample cells). • Ambient temperature: 15 to 40 ºC. • Maximum relative humidity: 80% non-condensing. • Flow or vacuum degas modes. • Back-fill/purge gas user selectable (typically N₂ or He). • Separate valves controlling coarse and fine evacuation rates prevent powder elutriation. • User adjustable flow rates via needle valve. • Six cooling ports. • Sample ports accommodate 6, 9 and 12 mm sample cell stem diameters • Digital vacuum gauge. • Voltage 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. • Power 600 VA (excluding vacuum pump) • Temperature programming from Controller or via Windows® PC software. • User selectable ramp rates and hold times (up to 20 segment profile)

This product is a former Quantachrome product. On February 9, 2018, Anton Paar acquired Quantachrome. Under the umbrella of the Anton Paar Group, the company will continue operations in Boynton Beach. Quantachrome is the first manufacturing facility in North America run by Anton Paar and will also function as a US-based unit for research, development, and production within the Anton Paar Group.
