Filter Pump

Whatsapp Order

Filter Pump is a laboratory device designed to create a vacuum using water or air flow to assist in filtration processes. Typically made from corrosion-resistant metal, plastic, or a combination of both, it operates by utilizing the Venturi effect to generate negative pressure. This suction power is ideal for accelerating vacuum filtration by drawing liquid through filter media quickly and efficiently. Filter pumps are commonly used in chemical, biological, environmental, and industrial laboratories where rapid and effective liquid-solid separation is required. They are a cost-effective and reliable alternative to mechanical vacuum pumps in many low-to-moderate vacuum applications.
