Vacuu-lan lab vacuum systems

Built to Work as Hard as You Do

For facility managers, infrastructure choices are not just about performance—they are about reliability, efficiency, ease of maintenance, and adaptability throughout a building's lifecycle. VACUU·LAN® lab vacuum systems are engineered specifically with these operational priorities in mind, offering a decentralized approach that reduces risk and simplifies management.

Five Key Benefits for Facilities Teams

Decentralized Infrastructure Advantages
Eliminate the need for central pump rooms and extensive copper piping networks with localized pumps installed near points of use, significantly reducing installation complexity and maintenance access issues.

 

Independent Lab-Level Systems
Each lab operates on its own vacuum network, allowing isolation, service, or reconfiguration without affecting other labs or building zones—ideal for phased renovations or tenant changes.

 

Minimal Maintenance Requirements
VACUUBRAND’s oil-free, chemical-resistant diaphragm pumps with 15,000 operating hour typical service intervals reduce the frequency of maintenance calls and eliminate the emergency repairs associated with central vacuum systems

 

Built-In Redundancy
No single point of failure affects multiple labs, providing essential reliability for critical research environments, teaching labs with fixed schedules, and sensitive ongoing experiments.

 

Adaptability for the Future
Easily reconfigure, relocate, or expand vacuum capabilities as labs' needs change without modifying core building systems or scheduling facility-wide shutdowns, maximizing return on infrastructure investments.

“Switching to VACUU·LAN system has reduced our maintenance calls by over 70% while giving us the flexibility to modify labs as research needs change. The decentralized approach means we don't have the single-point-failure risk of our old central vacuum system.”

— Director of Facilities, Research University
