Rotavapor R-220 Pro

The BUCHI Rotavapor R-220 Pro is an industrial-scale rotary evaporator built for continuous 24/7 operation in kilo-lab, pilot plant and production environments. It handles up to a 10 L evaporating flask (6 L sample volume) and distills up to 12 L of ethanol per hour, with an FDA-compliant stainless-steel frame and corrosion-resistant construction. A detachable 8.7" capacitive touchscreen, foam detection, AutoDest and remote monitoring let a single operator supervise several units at once, while over-temperature and over-pressure protection keep long unattended runs safe.
