The VACUUBRAND MZ 1C chemistry diaphragm pump is a high-performance, oil-free vacuum pump designed for continuous pumping of corrosive gases and vapours. Featuring a two-stage construction, it delivers an optimal combination of high pumping speed and low ultimate vacuum, making it ideal for more demanding laboratory applications than single-stage pumps.
Built with chemically resistant fluoroplastics and PTFE sandwich diaphragms, the MZ 1C ensures excellent durability and resistance to aggressive media. The integrated gas ballast valve enables continuous condensate removal, improving performance when handling condensable vapours.
With its quiet operation, compact footprint, and maintenance-free design, the MZ 1C is well suited for routine laboratory workflows requiring reliable vacuum performance.

Q: What is the VACUUBRAND MZ 1C diaphragm pump used for?
A: The VACUUBRAND MZ 1C is designed for vacuum filtration, evacuation of corrosive gases and vapours, and general laboratory vacuum processes, especially in more demanding applications requiring deeper vacuum.
Q: What is the key advantage of the two-stage design?
A: The two-stage diaphragm design allows the pump to achieve a lower ultimate vacuum (12 mbar) compared to single-stage pumps, making it suitable for more demanding applications.
Q: What is the maximum pumping speed of the MZ 1C?
A: The pump delivers a maximum pumping speed of 0.75 m³/h (50 Hz) or approximately 0.5 cfm (60 Hz).
Q: What ultimate vacuum can the pump achieve?
A: The pump achieves an ultimate vacuum of 12 mbar (9 torr), or 20 mbar (15 torr) when using the gas ballast.
Q: What is the function of the gas ballast valve?
A: The gas ballast valve allows continuous purging of condensable vapours, helping to prevent condensation inside the pump and maintain stable vacuum performance.
Q: Is the MZ 1C pump oil-free?
A: Yes. The pump operates oil-free, eliminating contamination risks and reducing maintenance requirements.
Q: What materials provide chemical resistance?
A: The pump uses chemically resistant fluoroplastics and PTFE sandwich diaphragms, making it suitable for handling aggressive chemicals and vapours.
Q: Is the pump suitable for continuous operation?
A: Yes. The MZ 1C is designed for continuous laboratory use with a maintenance-free drive system and long diaphragm service life.
Q: How quiet is the MZ 1C pump?
A: The pump operates at a low noise level of approximately 45 dBA, ensuring a quiet working environment.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight of the pump?
A: The pump measures 312 × 121 × 170 mm (L × W × H) and weighs approximately 6.7 kg.
Q: What connections does the pump use?
A: The pump uses hose nozzle connections (DN 8–10 mm) for both inlet and outlet.
Q: What power supply is required?
A: The pump operates on 220–230 V, 50–60 Hz power and uses a CEE plug.
Q: What certifications does the MZ 1C have?
A: The pump is ATEX certified (II 3/- G Ex h IIC T3 Gc X) for internal atmosphere, NRTL certified, and has a protection class of IP40.
Q: What is included with the pump?
A: The pump is supplied fully assembled and includes an operating manual.
Q: Are accessories available for this pump?
A: Yes. An optional manual vacuum regulator valve with dial gauge is available for precise adjustment of vacuum level and flow rate.
Q: What are the main advantages of the MZ 1C diaphragm pump?
A: Key advantages include deeper vacuum performance, excellent chemical resistance, stable operation with condensable vapours, oil-free design, and quiet, maintenance-free operation.
