The Ai 2L SolventVap Rotary Evaporator is a high-performance and efficient system designed for laboratory applications that require the gentle and effective removal of solvents. This model is optimized for efficiency, featuring an electric flask lift, cold trap condenser, and dry ice utilization, eliminating the need for a chiller. Its compact design, coupled with modular components, ensures easy operation and future upgrade potential.

Key Features:

• ETL Tested to UL and CSA Standards: The system is tested for safety, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards.

• Electric Evaporator Flask Lift: The electric flask lift system provides smooth and effortless handling of the evaporating flask, preventing exposure to the heated water bath. This feature enhances convenience and reduces operator effort.

• Non-exposed Water Bath Heater: The non-exposed heater is covered with a plexiglass bath cover, ensuring safety during operation. The bath’s design allows for rapid heat-up times for quicker results.

• Dry Ice Usage: Instead of requiring a chiller, this system optimizes efficiency by using dry ice as a cooling medium for the condenser, which can be a more cost-effective and space-saving solution.

• Solvent-Resistant Gaskets: PTFE and Viton gaskets ensure long-lasting durability even when used with harsh solvents.

• Quiet, Vibration-Free Motor: The system features a specialized motor with an intermeshed worm and worm gear, designed to operate quietly and without vibration for smoother processes and better stability.

• Downward-Condensing Vacuum Connection: The downward-condensing vacuum connection design ensures safe vacuum operation, minimizing the risk of leaks.

• Modular Design: The system features a modular design, allowing for easy upgrades or replacements of individual components such as the rotary module and water bath.

• Manual Lift with Secure Lock: The flask lift offers multi-level manual adjustments with a secure locking mechanism to ensure stable operation during the evaporation process.

• PID Temperature Controller: The PID temperature controller ensures precise and accurate control of the water bath temperature, ensuring consistent and reproducible results.

• Safety Features: The system includes built-in dry-run protection, water bath over-temperature shut-off, and fuse protection, all of which add a layer of security for the user and ensure safe operation.

• Visual Operation: The digital speed and temperature display allows for easy and intuitive operation with clear visibility of settings.
