Description
The Ai SolventVap series 20L rotary evaporator has been ETL tested to UL/CSA standard.
All the valves included with this piece are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which are ideal for solvent-resistant procedures.
The water bath comes with a plexiglass cover that is going to ensure that the heat is evenly dispersed within the chamber.
The motor is designed with a compact, intermeshed worm and worm gear that are able to reach speeds of 10 to 130 revolutions per minute while operating at a quiet volume.
The flask containing the solvent rotates, which continually transfers a thin layer over the entirety of the inner surface. This provides a large area for evaporation to occur, caused by the bath heating up. The rotating system has been designed to fit a special seal that allows the attachment of a vacuum, reducing the boiling point of solvents and doing away with the vapor phase. This unit has been equipped with a user-friendly vacuum release and a continuous feed system, which allows solvent to be drawn into the rotating flask without having to stop the whole process.
It contains several safety features: dry-run protection, shut-off protection for the water bath when temperatures become too high. The water bath also contains a built-in overheat protector that shuts down power to the machine if the controller fails.
