Rothenberger Vacuum Pump 6 CFM (170 L/min)

Rothenberger 6 CFM (170L/MIN) Vacuum Pump for Desiccator

The Rothenberger 6 CFM (170L/MIN) Vacuum Pump is designed to work with methacrylate or polycarbonate desiccators in the post-processing of BHO.

The flow rate of 170 L/min (6 CFM) and the double compression stage allow a final vacuum of 25 microns / 0.034 mbar to be achieved, a figure suitable for expelling gases trapped after the extraction process.

The unit includes a non-return solenoid valve , which prevents backflow when the machine is switched off, and 1/4" SAE connections with 5/16" SAE M and 3/8" SAE M adapters for watertight joints. The 750 W motor (230 V, 50/60 Hz, 3440 rpm) provides stable traction; the reservoir holds 330 ml of oil , a critical variable for maintaining the vacuum limit.

Weighing 11.7 kg and measuring 335 × 150 × 265 mm , the unit is easy to handle on a workbench. Rothenberger oil, a power cable, and connection accessories are included for easy setup.

At Hydroponics Blanes , a trusted Grow Shop in Spain , it appears within BHO Accessories , BHO tools and BHO extraction kits , with online availability and discreet shipping throughout the peninsula and Europe.

Accessories for extractions Rothenberger Vacuum Pump 6 CFM (170L/MIN)

This model integrates with desiccators, vacuum hoses, needle valves, pressure gauges, and heated beds that stabilize the temperature during purging. The resulting system forms a hermetic circuit that accelerates the evacuation of residual solvents and reduces oxidation. The 80 mm vacuum gauge, with readings in mbar/MPa , facilitates visual monitoring of the process. Lightweight materials and a compact design allow for easy assembly of the purging station in confined workspaces.

What is the Rothenberger 6 CFM (170L/MIN) Vacuum Pump used for?

The Rothenberger 6 CFM (170L/MIN) Vacuum Pump is used to create a deep vacuum in the desiccator containing the freshly extracted hash oil. This vacuum removes unwanted gases and volatiles, reduces bubbling, and stabilizes textures (shatter, budder, crumble). The result is more homogeneous and aromatic concentrates, suitable for demanding BHO extraction standards.

Extraction tool Rothenberger Vacuum Pump 6 CFM (170L/MIN)

As an extraction tool , it stands out for its two-stage design, high flow rate, and backflow prevention. The included SAE connections ensure compatibility with various desiccators. The oil inspection window allows for checking the level and quality; clean oil guarantees reaching the advertised vacuum limit. The combination of power and portability, along with rapid vacuum recovery, reduces cycle times and increases productivity.

How do I use the Rothenberger 6 CFM (170L/MIN) Vacuum Pump?

Recommended sequence for purging hash oil in a desiccator:

1. Oil check: The pump is supplied without internal charge. Fill to the midpoint shown in the sight glass. Use the included oil.
2. Connection: Connect the hose from the pump port to the desiccant valve using 1/4" SAE fittings or 5/16" / 3/8" adapters. Check for leaks.
3. Load the desiccator: place the tray with the extract. Close the lid, checking the seals.
4. Start-up: Turn on the pump, gradually open the valve, and observe the vacuum gauge reading. Once the desired level is reached, maintain the vacuum for the programmed time.
5. Cycles: alternate between vacuum and rest if the recipe requires it to refine the texture.
6. Usage time: Do not operate for more than 15 minutes continuously; allow to cool to avoid overheating.
7. Maintenance: Replace oil when it appears cloudy, muddy, or contains water, as this limits vacuum and lengthens service times.

Good practices: work in a ventilated area, use gloves and protective glasses, and respect local regulations applicable to the use of solvents and vacuum equipment.
