Rotary evaporators are distillation units that incorporate an efficient
condenser with a rotary flask system. 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
that is effected by heating from the accessory waterbath .
They are the ideal tools for many everyday laboratory applications
including:
• Concentration of solutions
• Reclamation of solvents
• Vacuum drying of wet solids
• Degassing liquids
The rotating system is fitted with a special seal that allows the
apparatus to be placed under vacuum. This reduces the boiling point
of the solvents and removes the vapour phase making the process
much more efficient.
Each unit is also provided with an easy to use vacuum release and
a continuous feed system, which allows more solvent to be drawn into
the rotating Florentine flask without the need to stop the operation.
There are three patterns of condenser available depending on
the application and space available.
• Rotary evaporator with diagonal glass condenser for
standard distillations.
• Rotary evaporator with vertical glass condenser for distillation
of solvents with higher boiling points. 20% narrower than
RE300 saving space.
• Rotary evaporator with cold finger glass condenser for use
with ice or dry ice for volatile or low boiling solvents.
No cooling water required. Unique drain to empty the large
1 litre trap very easily.
For each condenser pattern, there is also a plastic coating option for
extra safety when using the glassware under vacuum. It acts as a safety
screen, contains the glassware pieces and gives the operator sufficient
time to transfer any potentially dangerous chemicals to a suitable
vessel without spillage.
Flocculator, SW6
Accepts six samples
Digital indication of speed and time
Two pre-set programs
Built in illumination for easy viewing of samples
For flocculation (jar) tests on water and effluent samples.
The SW6 accommodates up to six samples and is specially designed for
repeatable conditions between samples and from run to run.
A digital display clearly indicates the speed of the rotational stainless
steel paddles, which can be varied from 25 to 250rpm. The digital
timer can be set to count down from 1 to 99 minutes. After count
down, the paddles stop and an alert sounds. The timer then counts up
in minutes in order to measure settling time.
Two pre-set programs allow routine speed and time parameters to be
input and then selected by simply pressing one button. Parameters are
stored in the memory and can be recalled or altered at any time. The
intuitive touch sensitive keypad is totally flat for easy cleaning. Sample
monitoring is assisted by diffused base illumination and black
background.
A simultaneous coagulant doser is available as an accessory.
