Specifications

The RV 10 auto Starter Solution is the cost-effective complete package for your rotary evaporator setup.

In addition to the rotary evaporator RV 10 auto, the package includes the heating bath HB digital with a capacity of 4 liters and a heating temperature range of RT to 180 °C, the vacuum pump VACSTAR lite and the recirculating chiller RC 2 lite. All components and connections required for operation are included.

Thanks to specially designed glass guides, the transparently coated vertical condensor with 3 cooling coils uses the cooling surface of 1500 cm² extremely efficiently. The RV 10 auto allows the user to carry out individual processes via the extended programming of ramps. Other innovative features such as soft start, clockwise and anticlockwise rotation in intermittent operation or the timer function for controlling time sequences make everyday laboratory work easier. Safety is ensured by the motorized lift with ‘safety-stop’ function. In the event of a power failure, it automatically lifts the evaporation flask out of the heating bath. In addition, individually adjustable safety temperature circuits, dry run proDDDtection, adjustable end position detection to protect against glass breakage and a locking function ensure user safety. The USB or RS232 interface allows remote control using the IKA software labworldsoft® and the option of updating using the Firmware Update Tool.

The included vacuum pump VACSTAR lite is extremely space-saving and achieves a minimum vacuum of 9 mbar. It is controlled directly by the drive unit RV 10 auto using the data cable supplied and enables automatic boiling point detection.

The compact recirculating chiller RC 2 lite with a strong 400 watt cooling capacity and a powerful pressure and suction pump (0.35 bar) is designed for simple cooling tasks down to -10 °C. The easily accessible and easy-to-clean mesh filter made of stainless steel ensures a consistently high cooling performance for years. Thanks to the natural refrigerant R290, the RC 2 lite is particularly environmentally friendly and well prepared for the future.
