M-VAC medical vacuum filters for medical vacuum systems

M-VAC medical vacuum filters are designed for medical vacuum systems. They trap bacteria and other solid and liquid contaminants on the suction side of the vacuum pump, protect the pump and prevent infection from spreading into the surroundings.
The collected liquid gathers in a transparent bowl that can be removed and sterilised. The range has 21 sizes with a G 1/8" to 3" thread or DN80 to DN150 flanges, a flow of 1.25 to 787 Nm³/h at atmospheric pressure and a 0.1 µm element.

Flow under vacuum
The flows apply at atmospheric pressure. When selecting, multiply the system flow by the factor C2 for the absolute pressure in the pipeline.

Ventilek’s tip
Empty the bowl in good time. The collected liquid may be infectious — remove, empty and sterilise the bowl according to the operating rules of your facility.
- What does the M-VAC filter include?
- The housing, the element, a drain cock and a transparent bowl for the collected liquid.
- How do I know when to replace the element?
- The VPG 40 differential pressure gauge shows it by measuring the pressure drop across the element.
- Which bowl do I need?
- N1 for sizes 0006 to 0706, N2 for 0946 to 2406 and N3 for the flanged B240 to B600.
