0.5G/2L Rotary Evaporator w/ Chiller & Pump

0.5G/2L Rotary Evaporator w/ Chiller & Pump

A rotary
evaporator is a device used in chemical laboratories for the efficient and
gentle removal of solvents from samples by evaporation. The process of rotary
evaporation is most often used to separate solvents with low boiling points,
such a n-hexane or ethyl acetate, from compounds which are solid at room
temperature and pressure. However, careful application also allows for the
removal of a solvent from a sample containing a liquid compound, if there is
minimal co-evaporation (azeotropic behavior) and a sufficient difference in
boiling points at the chosen temperature and reduced pressure.

 

Example: The following table is a list of a
variety of substances ordered by increasing vapor pressure (in absolute units).

The
new Ai SolventVap 0.5-gallon/2L (evaporating flask
capacity) series rotary evaporators come with a modular heating
bath, vertical glassware, and digital temperature/rotation control. Its
optimized bath volume allows for rapid heat-up times. The condenser unit has
specially designed glass tubes that utilize surface area extremely efficiently.
That’s why our SolventVap evaporators consistently deliver reliable and
reproducible process results that are usually reserved for more costly systems.
Another important aspect of the SolventVap is the safety features, which
includes dry-run protection, water bath over-temperature shut-off protection,
and fuse protection.

Rotary evaporator features a specially designed motor and
worm gear, which provides constant rotation at speeds from 10 to 180 rpm. As
the flask containing the solvent is rotated, it continually transfers a thin
layer of liquid over the entire inner surface. This gives a very large surface
area for evaporation, which is caused by the gentle heating from the water
bath. The rotating system is fitted with a special seal that allows the
apparatus to be placed under vacuum, effectively reducing the boiling point of
the solvents and removing the vapor phase, making the process much more
efficient. Each unit is also equipped with an easy-to-use vacuum release and a
continuous feed system, which allows solvent to be constantly drawn into the
rotating flask without needing to stop the operation.

Digital water bath operates from ambient temperature to 99°C
(210°F) with PID temperature control stepping at 0.1°C increments. Heating
coils are located directly inside the pan for the most efficient heating
possible. A built-in overheat protector will shut down power, should the
controller fail.

Standard Glassware Set 0.13 gallon (0.5L), 0.26 gallon (1L) or 0.53
gallon (2 liters) pear shaped evaporating flask, 0.26 gallon (1 liter)
round-bottomed receiving flask, and vertical condenser. Rotary evaporators
with vertical glass condenser are great for distillation of solvents with
higher boiling points.

Your safety is important to us! Please use caution when
operating. Users of glass reaction equipment must take all necessary
precautions to avoid contact with rotating parts, particularly entanglement of
loose clothing, hair, necklaces, or other jewelry. Under these circumstances,
the winding action of the rotating parts can draw the user(s) into the
apparatus, resulting in breakage of glassware, burns, and/or chemical exposure.
Extra caution must also be taken when operating with air-reactive materials,
especially under vacuum. A leak can draw air into the apparatus and cause a
violent reaction to occur.
