Rotary Evaporator PILOTVAP®
The PILOTVAP® is a patented pendulum system rotary evaporator.
PILOTVAP®-Applications
- Excellent suitable for recovery of solvents
- Problem-free distillation of high boiling solvents
- Distillation of large amounts of solvent
- Concentration of extracts
- Drying of powders
- Concentration of fractions coming from HPLC
- We would be glad to develop with you customer specified solutions.
Hint
All PILOTVAP®-Systems can be modified to the fully automated rotary evaporator POWERVAP®.
Technical Details of the PILOTVAP®
Rotating flask
- The floating rotating flask reduces mechanical stresses, to achieve constant tightness and a powerful distillation result,
even under permanent operation (see pendelum system) - Hydraulic damping system for the rotating flask with drive system (patented), to increase the performance,
when drying powders - Surface treated glass flanges for maximal vacuum stability
Sealing system
- High performance sealing system
– PTFE / glass
– Service life approx. 20,000 hours of operation
– Final vacuum better than 0.1 hPa (when empty)
– 3 years warranty - Sealing system STACONSEAL, patented (option)
– Final vacuum better than 0.01 hPa (when empty) - By means of the novel sealing system, a very good solvent recovery rate will be achieved
Protection Systems
- Vapor temperature alarm, to automatically shut off the water bath
- Implosion protection hood for the rotating flask, made of transparent polycarbonate
- The pendulum system makes the rotating flask float in the water bath, to guarantee highest performance, easy handling and maximal reliability
Controller GUARD (standard)
- Manual or automatic vacuum control
- Control of the aerating valve (air- or nitrogen inlet)
- Vapor temperature control
- Speed control with slow acceleration mode
- Control of the water bath temperature
Controller SCU (option)
- Speed control with slow acceleration mode
- Control of the water bath temperature (option)
- Vapor temperature control (option)
Technical features of the process controller GUARD
- Manual vacuum control with ACCEPT function to easily select the SET value
- Automated vacuum control
- Emergency SHUT OFF and aeration at overpressure (alarm)
- Temperature control of heating bath
- Vapor temperature control
- Pulse aerating
- Speed control with slow accelerating mode
- Automated speed control (patented/option)
- Torr/hPa (mbar) selector
- RS232-interface
- USB-interface (option)
- Output for vacuum pump (solid state)
- Coolant temperature indicator (option)
- Capacitive keyboard – chemically resistant
- Control of foam by pulse dosing (patented/option)
- STACONSEAL sealing monitoring device for vacuum values better than 0.1 hPa – excellent for high boiling solvents and best product qualities (patented/option)
- Customer specified solutions (option)
