10L Neocision ETL Lab Certified Rotary Evaporator

How This 10L Rotary Evaporator Is Configured

Both flasks are the same size here, and that matters. Evaporating and receiving capacity are each 10 L, so the receiver will not fill and halt a run before the charge has been worked through. Glass throughout is GG-17 high borosilicate. The condenser is a main plus auxiliary vertical double helix, which gives more surface area and a shorter vapour path than a single coil manages. Rotation is digitally regulated from 20 to 130 RPM with no steps in between. Bath temperature sets from five degrees above ambient up to 99 C, in a 304 stainless bath finished with Teflon against corrosion. Maximum vacuum pressure is quoted at -29.8 inHg. The bath lifts on an electric stroke of 190 mm rather than a hand crank. Injection and drain valves let solution feed in and product draw off without breaking vacuum or stopping rotation. ETL certification covers it for laboratory use.

Siting and Powering a Rotovap of This Size

Check the electrical supply before anything else. The unit runs on 220 to 240 volts, single phase at 60 Hz, and the heater alone draws up to 15 amps. Total consumption for the machine is 3,300 watts. That is a dedicated circuit rather than a spare socket, and it wants confirming with an electrician before delivery day. The footprint is 81 by 44 by 20 inches and the assembled weight is 155 lb, which ships by freight rather than parcel. Locking casters are fitted, so it rolls once it is in the room. Two honest notes belong on the record. BVV publish two different warranty terms for this machine. One is ninety days excluding glass and the other a year on mechanical parts, and the shorter figure sits in their own specification table. Confirm which applies before relying on either. Glassware carries no warranty at all under any reading, and BVV ask that any transit damage is reported within three days of delivery.
