Heidolph Hei-VAP Industrial series rotary evaporators

Heidolph has released of the Hei-VAP Industrial series of rotary evaporators. The powerful glass-covered touchscreen controller design allows for easy and efficient control of standard and complex distillation processes.

Features include bumping protection as well as fully automated product boiling-point detection and tracking. In combination with Distimatic systems, the evaporators can perform automatic distillation in both batch and continuous processes, enabling processing of virtually unlimited batch sizes.

Focusing on operator safety, the series is equipped with illuminated on/off switches for heating functions to prevent accidental activation. Further safety features include two independent overheat protection circuits; an emergency cutoff switch which completely shuts down all evaporator functions; automatic vacuum-leak safety cutoffs; implosion-protection housings; and IP67 compliant electrical connections.

The easy-clip-flask connection system allows for ergonomic single-operator flask changes, providing user safety and reducing operator cost. A self-filling and level-maintaining bath eliminates the need for users to manually top up water before, during and after evaporation runs. The evaporators have a life expectancy of over 10 years, with minimal consumable cost.
