Rotary Evaporator
PILOTVAP®

The PILOTVAP® is a patented pendulum system rotary evaporator.

Technical Details of the PILOTVAP®

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

    GUARD SCU (option)

• Speed control with slow acceleration mode
• Control of the water bath temperature (option)
• Vapor temperature control (option)

Rotating flask

• The floating rotating flask reduces mechanical stresses, to achieve constant tightness and a powerful distillation result, even under permanent operation.
• 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.

Ex-proof pilotvap-system

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

Hint

All PILOTVAP®-Systems can be modified to the
fully automated rotary evaporator POWERVAP®.
