Rotary Evaporators

The completely revised RV 10 auto is the flagship of the IKA rotary evaporator product line. Its features include an innovative handling concept with a bright, high-contrast, TFT, color-graphic control panel, an integrated vacuum controller, cooling water monitoring and mature safety standards. The RV 10 auto offer all properties required for efficient, safe, and cost-effective operations. These include automatic control of the vacuum and cooling water volume. Its intuitive handling concept quickly leads its users to their desired results in every application. Thanks to specially designed glass guides, the condenser makes extremely efficient use of the 1500 cm² cooling surface. Thanks to its extended ramp programming capability, the RV 10 auto allows users to carry out customized procedures. Other innovative features, such as smooth start, interval mode, right-left operation in interval mode, or the timer function for time-lapse tests, make everyday work in the laboratory much easier. Safety is ensured by the motorized lift with safety-stop function that automatically lifts the evaporation flask out of the heating bath in the case of power failure. Additional safety for users is provided by individually adjustable temperature safety circuits, protection against boiling dry, adjustable end-point recognition to prevent glass breakage, and a locking function. The receiving flask and the condenser are also available in coated versions. The USB port or the RS-232 interface enable remote control with the IKA “labworldsoft” software package and an update option with the firmware update tool. The device comes complete with vacuum hoses and hose connectors for your in-house cooling water supply. The new IKA Vacstar digital included in the package is controlled directly from the drive unit of the RV 10 auto via the data cable provided.

The RV 10 digital represents the continual enhancement of the IKA RV 10 rotary evaporator line. The unit comes with an universal heating bath, state-of-the-art safety features and digital connectivity. The RV 10 digital is a robust and reliable lab companion. Its optimized bath volume allows for fast heat-up times. That’s why the RV 10 basic delivers reliable and reproducible process results that are usually reserved for more costly systems. Additional features such as smooth start, left-right interval or timer function capability support the user in their daily lab work. Another important aspect of the RV 10 digital are the sophisticated safety features. The motorized lift has an automated lift-out function in case of power outage to prevent superheating of the solvent. Safety temperature circuits can be set individually. Dry-run protection, adjustable lower end stop and lock function of bath setting complete the line of safety features. Furthermore, IKA offers a choice of coated glassware for increased safety needs. The RS 232 interface allows for remote control via IKAs “labworldsoft”. The Heating bath is controlled via the IR interface from the main unit.

The rotary evaporator RV 3 is the ideal entry-level model of the IKA rotary evaporator portfolio. It finds a multitude of uses in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries, in research and development, in manufacturing and quality assurance, in laboratories, and in plant construction.
