The Economy Rotary Evaporator by Being International is a reliable and cost-effective tool designed for laboratories across South Africa. Available through Apex Scientific, this evaporator supports efficient distillation and solvent separation in a variety of applications. Commonly referred to as “Rotovaps,” these systems are widely used in pharmaceutical research, medicinal chemistry, chromatography, and petrochemical workflows. The design incorporates multiple features that work together to improve evaporation performance and reliability.
The digital controller on a rotary evaporator enables precise control of temperature, rotation speed, and vacuum levels. Real-time data display and programmable functions enhance accuracy and safety. With an intuitive interface, it streamlines operations, making solvent distillation more efficient.
Connecting a rotary evaporator to a recirculating chiller ensures efficient solvent condensation during evaporation. The chiller maintains a stable low temperature in the condenser, improving recovery rates, reducing vapor loss, and protecting the vacuum pump from moisture or chemical damage.
Enhanced Evaporation Process
This rotary evaporator speeds up solvent removal through four integrated functions:
- Reduced Pressure: Lowers the solvent’s boiling point, allowing faster evaporation at lower temperatures.
- Sample Rotation: Increases surface area exposure, accelerating the evaporation rate.
- Controlled Heating: Maintains precise temperatures to support optimal solvent separation.
- Efficient Condensation: Captures vapor through a glass condenser, enhancing solvent recovery and minimizing loss.
User-Friendly Design
Engineered for simplicity and efficiency, this rotary evaporator supports easy one-handed operation in both manual and automatic modes—ideal for fast-paced laboratory environments. The ergonomic layout ensures smooth adjustments with minimal effort, enhancing overall workflow. Its advanced PTFE sealing system offers excellent thermal stability and superior resistance to chemical corrosion, helping extend the lifespan of the equipment. This robust design reduces the need for frequent maintenance, ensuring reliable, long-term performance while providing a user-friendly experience for researchers and technicians alike.
Versatile Heating Options
The Economy model includes a dual-purpose bath that supports both water and oil heating methods. Additionally, built-in overheat protection ensures safe operation. A PID controller allows precise temperature adjustments, while a large LCD screen displays settings clearly—making it easy to monitor parameters in real-time.
