Product Overview
This premium pilot-scale rotary evaporator series (available in 10L, 20L, and 50L configurations) is engineered for bulk solvent evaporation, concentration, and purification. Serving as a critical bridge between laboratory R&D and industrial production, these industrial rotovap systems are widely utilized in pharmaceutical, chemical, and botanical extraction industries.
Built with an anti-corrosive SUS304/aluminum frame and heavy-duty drive mechanisms, these units support continuous, multi-hour operations under high-load conditions, serving as a reliable pilot setup for process validation before scaling up to full industrial manufacturing.
Why Choose Our Solvent Recovery System?
Seamless Process Scalability & Validation
• Versatile Capacity Options: Available in 10L, 20L, and 50L configurations to handle medium-to-large process batches seamlessly.
• Accurate Parameter Testing: Allows process engineers to test, optimize, and stabilize critical distillation parameters (temperature, vacuum level, RPM) before committing to capital-intensive full-scale plant manufacturing.
Advanced Film Evaporation Technology
• Continuous Liquid Film: The motorized rotating flask creates a highly uniform thin film over the entire inner surface, maximizing the active heat transfer area and boosting evaporation efficiency for rapid ethanol and solvent recovery.
• Thermal Protection & Anti-Bumping: Continuous, stable rotation eliminates localized hot spots and significantly reduces bumping risks, protecting heat-sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and volatile compounds during distillation.
Superior Vacuum Integrity & Leak-Proof Sealing
• Heavy-Duty Composite Seal: Utilizes a patented, pre-tightened PTFE and FKM (Viton) double-sealing assembly to maintain hermetic integrity during extended, long-run operations.
• Low-Temperature Distillation: Achieves a stable, ultimate vacuum level down to ≤399.9 Pa
Digital Control & Industrial Automatio
• PID Tmperature Regulation: The microprocessor-based controller maintains heating bath temperature stability within ±1 ∘ C to prevent accidental thermal spikes.
• Dual-Medium Universal Bath: Supports water bath operations (RT to 99 ∘ C) and high-temperature oil bath applications (RT to 180 ∘ C).
• Stepless Speed Control: Features a clear digital display with precise regulation from 10 to 130 rpm (110 rpm for the 50L model) to perfectly match different fluid viscosities.
• Motorized Power Lift: A robust, motorized lift mechanism handles the effortless raising and lowering of heavy, fluid-filled evaporation flasks, enhancing operator safety.

FAQ
Q: What is a pilot scale rotary evaporator used for?
A: A pilot scale rotary evaporator (or large scale rotary evaporator) is used for larger-volume evaporation, concentration, and solvent recovery processes before full industrial manufacturing. It allows companies to test and optimize processes under conditions closer to actual production.
Q: Can you provide explosion-proof (Ex-proof) configurations for ethanol or hexane recovery?
A: Yes, absolutely. We offer fully customized Ex-proof configurations compliant with ATEX and IECEx standards, including explosion-proof motors, enclosed control boxes, and specialized wiring to ensure safety when handling volatile solvents.
Q: What is the typical lead time for a customized or bulk order?
A: Standard configurations (10L/20L/50L) are usually in stock and can be dispatched within 3-5 business days. For customized systems (such as Ex-proof modifications or unique glassware geometries), the lead time typically ranges from 10 to 15 business days depending on the specifications.
Q: Can the rotary evaporator handle heat-sensitive materials?
A: Yes. By using deep vacuum evaporation technology(≤399.9 Pa),solvents can evaporate at significantly lower boiling points. This process reduces thermal stress, preventing the degradation of heat-sensitive or thermolabile fractions.
Q: What support can global distributors and OEM partners receive?
A: We offer comprehensive support to our global B2B partners, including complete technical documentation, factory-direct wholesale pricing, customization capabilities, and priority replacement part dispatch to help you scale your local market.
