The Rotavapor® R 3
The Rotavapor® R 3 focuses on the basic requirements of classical laboratory applications in education and research alike. It covers the essential functions in a convenient and robust manner without compromising quality or safety - an instrument for gentle evaporation in laboratory application
  1. Features
  2. Specification
  • Rotavapor® R-3 - reduced to the basics without compromise in quality and safety: simple operation, durable and reliable for standard applications in education and research
  • Flask can be easily lowered into, or out of the bath with a single hand movement, ensuring fast and reliable operation. The end stop is an additional safety feature to set the lower limit of the flask adjustment. This prevents glask breakings and the overswapping of the heating media by manual operation
  • Three functions combined in one tool
    • Clip for fixing the flask against loosening the flask during the rotation.
    • Safe removal of the flask possible.
    • Easy dismantling of the vapour duct to achieve easy maintenance and cleaning of the sealing system no risk of glass breakage.
  • Continuously adjustable rotation speed between 20 and 280 rpm. A rotation speed of 280 rpm offers the possibility for high distillation rate. The mechanical parts of the rotation unit combined with the motor and the drive-belt results in a very smooth and silently operation of the Rotavapor.
  •  Adjustable angle of the rotary engine to support different flask sizes and the assembly of bump traps
  • The quick disassemble with the combi-clip and manufactured in one piece allows easy cleaning and prevents the sample for cross-contamination
  • The vacuum seal is made of the original PTFE-rubber composite material. The PTFE coated surface is resistant against all usually used solvents. It is designed for low abrasion of rotating vapour duct. Easy to install and disassemble to improve maintenance and cleaning of the sealing
  • Heating bath with a temperature range from 20-95°C. Heating and reaching the set temperature is indicated by an LED. Its small volume ensures that warm-up times are very quick. The bath with the ergonomical handles can be easily adjusted and support flask sizes up to 4L Volumes.  The high alloy steel pan is easy to clean
