DESCRIPTION
Selecting the correct operating parameters for Rotary Film Evaporators is an important part of your application. Many variables must be considered, i.e. choosing the appropriate bath temperature, vacuum pressure, rate of evaporation, and accessory chiller—so it's no surprise to find more vapors collecting in the lab environment than in the receiving flask! We at BVR will be glad to advise you in your selection for the right configuration of Rotary Film Evaporator along with the working parameters and accessories/utilities.
The Rotary Film Evaporator is essentially a thin film evaporating unit incorporating a rotating evaporation flask. The rotary evaporator will evaporate solvent at a much faster rate than systems using stationary evaporation flasks, due to higher convectional heat transfer coefficient.
The rotation transfers a thin film of the liquid to the whole of the inner surface of the flask, markedly increasing evaporation rate due to higher heat transfer between the flask, bath and the thin film. The rotating flask and vapour duct have a sealing system which allows operation under vacuum, further accelerating the evaporation process because of the reduction in boiling point of the solvent and efficient removal of the vapour. Besides the reduction in boiling point there is a considerable decrease in the residence time of the fluid, which also permits heat sensitive materials to be successfully concentrated without degradation.
The evaporators can be evacuated down to less than 1 mbar if the vacuum seals are maintained in good condition. A continuous feed facility considerably increases the capacity of the units and distillate withdrawal facilities on some units allow uninterrupted operation.


FEATURES
Digital display & auto PID control of rotation speed, vapor temperature and bath temperature.
Convenient controls for adjustment of rotation speed and heating bath temperature
Digital display of process time
Miniature circuit breaker and separate power switches for control panel and heating bath offers safety
Vacuum Controller (Optional)
Bath temperature display accuracy +/- 1 °C
Digital display for vapor temperature +/- 1 °C
RS-232 interface (Optional)

The units can be offered with full automation incorporating a PLC based system or even SCADA for real time data acquisition and control. This facilitates you to programme your experiments & piloting with the least possible human involvement thus increasing accuracy of results and efficiency of the product besides consistency of the final product quality when used for production processes.


OUR STANDARD MODELS
There is a range of models covering an evaporation flask capacity from 1 litre l to 100 litres. The majority of these models may be used on the laboratory bench; the larger models (10, 20, 50 & 100 litres) are designed for use in pilot plants and production facilities.

CHOOSING A RECIRCULATING CHILLER
BVR can advise and offer suitable Chillers to provide the necessary cooling capacity for any application. Chillers offer lower cooling temperatures and higher heat removal capacity than tap water cooling.

CHOOSING VACUUM CONTROLLERS
Vacuum Controllers play a critical role in regulating evaporation experiments: without one, experiments can only run at maximum vacuum pressure. Vacuum Controllers reduce the risks of sample loss and lab contamination, and they may be programmed to reduce bumping and foaming and perform automatic distillations. We at BVR can advise and offer suitable vacuum controllers and pump too suitable for the particular model & application.

Besides the aforesaid standard models we can offer special tailor made units as per your requirements, of different configurations and higher capacities too. We can suggest especially designed units too having higher evaporation efficiency and mechanical stability, which is really critical as the size of the rotating flask increases.
