Industrial rotary evaporator for distillation

Optimize your distillation efficiency with a solution designed for precise concentration, solvent recycling, and re-crystallization, ensuring maximum purity and resource utilization in complex chemical and pharmaceutical processes.

Distills, Concentrates, and Recycles Solvents

The Rotavapor R-220 Pro from BUCHI Labortechnik is an industrial rotary evaporator tailored for efficient solvent recovery and concentration in pharmaceutical, chemical, and academic settings. Utilizing a robust, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel design, it supports continuous and batch operations with configurable glass assemblies that cater to various distillation and recrystallization needs. The system accommodates sample sizes up to 10 liters per batch with a distillation rate of 12 liters of ethanol per hour, optimized through automatic distillation features and foam detection sensors.

Engineered for flexibility, the R-220 Pro offers automated, programmable SOPs, and remote monitoring via a mobile interface, enhancing process control and integration into existing lines. Its energy-efficient heating system reaches up to 180 °C while maintaining system integrity with minimal leakage. The FDA-compliant materials ensure product compatibility and safety, meeting stringent quality standards across industries. Maintenance is simplified with easy-to-clean components and optional CIP systems, making it a resilient and versatile tool in solvent recycling and chemical processing.
