Solvent Evaporator RB

The instrument consists of a base and stand assembly, mounted in a shallow bath. The entire instrument rotates so that all samples are accessible from the front. Round flasks sit on a cover disk and are heated by hot water and steam. Solvents with boiling points up to 65° C can be handled. For maximum heat transfer, jar shaped flasks can be immersed directly into the bath water. An optional vacuum manifold permits solvents with boiling points up to 90° C to be processed.

The condenser water supply includes a flow meter, rigid supply tube, rotating inlet/drain port, parallel supply/return manifolds and a flexible return tube. Quick disconnect fittings are used on the manifolds. The system can be connected to a bench cold-water tap. A refrigerated water chiller is recommended as an accessory for improved control of condenser temperature and water conservation.

The 4.5-inch deep, stainless steel water bath is thermostatically controlled and will accurately maintain water temperature from 30° to 100° C. It is equipped with a water level device, a high temperature limit switch and a GFCI electrical plug for safety. An intrinsically safe, purged case is available as an option. The bath is UL/CUL approved for laboratory use.

Features: Three models available in 5, 8 or 10 positions for 250 ml or 500 ml flasks. Compact size takes minimal bench space. Suitable for oil and grease analysis using Freon and other approved solvents. Concentrates extracted materials from Soxhlet operations. Recovers 97% of starting solvent volume. Vacuum manifold available as an option to handle solvents with boiling points up to 90° C. Condenser holder assembly for solvent recovery condensers. Parallel water supply/drain manifolds with quick disconnect tube fittings. One water supply line in, one drain line out. Instrument rotates unhindered with sealed water supply/drain fitting.
