The Ai SolventVap 20L Rotary Evaporator is designed for high-capacity distillation needs, offering a combination of safety, performance, and efficiency. It is ETL tested to UL/CSA standards, ensuring high safety and durability. Ideal for labs requiring large-scale solvent evaporation, this model features a motorized lift, vertical glassware, and several advanced features that guarantee reliable results and safety.

Key Features:

• ETL Tested to UL/CSA Standards: Certification to these standards ensures the evaporator meets high safety and reliability expectations, critical for many industrial and laboratory environments.

• Plexiglass Water Bath Cover: A new plexiglass bath cover enhances safety and energy efficiency by improving temperature uniformity in the water bath and preventing heat and humidity loss.

• Solvent-Resistant PTFE & Viton Gaskets: Equipped with high-quality, solvent-resistant PTFE and Viton gaskets, this rotary evaporator is designed for extended use in challenging environments.

• Motorized Lift for Water Bath: The motorized water bath lift allows easy height adjustments for precise control during the evaporation process, ensuring smooth operation and ease of use.

• Efficient Condenser Design: Featuring main and auxiliary triple-circulating cold traps, the evaporator’s condensing surface area (9,480 cm² for the main condenser and 3,580 cm² for the auxiliary) ensures efficient condensation, even for high-boiling solvents.

• New Swivel Casters: Swivel casters with locks provide excellent mobility, making it easier to move the evaporator securely, even on uneven surfaces.

• Water Bath with Dual Heaters: The water bath features two heaters and operates from ambient temperature to 99°C (210°F), providing efficient heating. It also includes an over-temperature protector for safety.

• Easy-to-Use Digital Controls: The PID temperature controller offers precise control, stepping in 0.1°C increments. The digital speed and temperature displays make it easy to monitor and adjust settings.

• Continuous Feed System: This system allows solvent to be continuously drawn into the flask, maintaining operation without the need to pause.

• Glassware Set: The standard glassware set includes:

  • Evaporating Flask: 5.28 gallons (20 liters)
  • Receiving Flask: 2.64 gallons (10 liters)
  • Vertical Condenser: Efficient for distilling solvents with high boiling points.

• Vacuum System: Equipped with PTFE + Viton gaskets for superior sealing and a vacuum level of < 3 torrs, the system ensures safe and efficient operation under vacuum conditions.
